Interior

The Ora Lightning Cat was first revealed as a concept at Auto Shanghai on April 21, 2021, in Shanghai, China , alongside the Ora Punk Cat.[1] A different Lightning Cat was shown later in September at the 2021 International Motor Show Germany in Munich, wearing the "03 Cat" name. It previews the brand's entry into the European market and was shown alongside the 01 Cat and 02 Cat, both rebadged from the Good Cat.[2] Then in 2022 at the Thailand International Motor Expo bearing the Grand Cat name.[3]

Styling of the Ora Lightning Cat is controversial as it heavily resembles Porsche cars such as the 911 and Panamera.[4]
