Overview
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 Frankfurt, 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]
