Sunmotor Coupe DX uses body of Shuanghuan Noble (pre-facelited). Roof and windshiels were modified to allow solar array and increase space for passengers. With this changes the car looks like some strange fish on wheels.

What do you think? Does this car have any future at all?

It takes a heap of solar energy....
Perhaps in sunny California....

But you have to hand it to these guys for trying.

like the specs and I understand that the car is designed for its purpose... but frankly saying that the vehicle itself is not that appealing. :(

That thing is HORRIBLE! Why do they think they can sell one, let alone lure someone into the showroom. It looks like a mutated squid that's had its tentacles cleaved of with a blunt knife and was then sown together by a drunk homeless man. I wonder if they were drunk when they designed it.:yikes:

It's not that bad if someone could remove the solar cells on the roof. The original car with the normal roof, normal windshield and normal rear window, was much better.

They should go back it. The idea to extend the roof to put more solar cells wasn't a good one.
