The Ora Punk Cat is a battery electric compact hatchback to be produced by Chinese EV manufacturer ORA, a marque of Great Wall Motors since 2022.

Overview

The Ora Punk Cat was revealed as a concept at Auto Shanghai on April 21, 2021 in Shanghai, China, alongside the Ora Lightning Cat.[1] Its styling is controversial as the car heavily resembles the Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle.[2]
