This limited-production two-door grand touring coupe was introduced as the brand’s opening statement: a low-slung, design-led performance hybrid that signaled the company’s move from performance tuning heritage into a new era of electrified vehicles. Revealed in 2017 and put into production in 2019, it was built in Chengdu, China under a planned three-year production program with a capped build rate, making scarcity part of its identity from the start. Rather than aiming for mass-market volume, it was positioned as a halo car and a showcase for the brand’s design language, carbon-fiber construction, and hybrid drivetrain strategy.
In historical terms, it occupies a special place as the first production car to wear the badge on its own, and it helped define the company’s image before later fully electric models arrived. The car blended a front-mounted combustion engine with rear electric drive components, creating a high-performance grand touring format that stood apart from conventional hybrids of its time. Its production run was always intended to be short, and the final slots were filled in 2021, with the company later describing the car as the model that started it all. That makes it an important early milestone in the brand’s transition from performance sub-brand to standalone electric automaker, as well as one of its most collectible modern models.
