Hurt is a good song, full of song first: the Chinese market is another clone of the European car. This time as an object to be admired taken the famous Volkswagen Amarok pickup, not too creative recycling has been the company Jiangling Motors. The result is called Jiangling T7 will be available to buyers from China in February; about the reaction of the German auto giant and a possible claim was not known.
If a case of plagiarism will be prosecuted, the VW Group's lawyers do not have to ishitrât′sâ, proving the obvious: the similarity of Amarok and T7 noticeable to the naked eye. Enterprising Chinese with a high degree of accuracy srisovali characteristic of the grille, front and rear lights, Optimus g model wheel arches with a protruding plastic protection round fog lamps and chrome edging box.
However, under the hood the Chinese clone anything advanced or at least mighty. If the easiest Amarok comes with a 140-strong diesel Quartet, developing an impressive 340 nm of torque, the T7 is available with two grey-haired Isuzu: 100-horsepower 2.8-liter diesel engine and 110-strong petrol unit volume 2.2 l. But, presumably, from tending to be three to four times lower than the original (from 1449900 rubles in Russia today).
By the way, about the manufacturer: this is the Jiangling, which last year together with Changan built a shameless clone of the Range Rover Evoque named Landwind X7. Of course, we are strongly against piracy and the legitimate interests of producers, but, humanly speaking, we are interested in: what decides to copy these scoundrels next time?
