The ORA Punk Cat is a compact electric hatchback to be produced by China EV manufacturer ORA, a marque of Great Wall Motors, starting 2022.
Overview
The ORA Lightning Cat was revealed as a concept at Auto Shanghai on April 21, 2021 in Shanghai, China , alongside the ORA Lightning Cat.[1] Its styling is controversial as the car heavily resembles the Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle.[2]
In August, a slightly revised variant of the Punk Cat called the Ballet Cat was revealed. This version is marketed towards the female car buyer demographic.[3] Later that month, a WEY-branded version of the Punk Cat called the V72 was revealed. It features a large chrome grille and a larger trunk.[4][5]
