How many people still think of Sailin Cars today? The car company, which once spent 300 million yuan to hold a new product launch at the "Bird's Nest" and was determined to "help more people realize their dream of super running", has now ended up with assets being auctioned.
Che300 used cars learned that part of the land use rights of Sailin Automobile and the above-ground buildings and assets such as machinery and equipment, production lines, and assembly lines involved were listed for auction, with a starting price of nearly 2.38 billion yuan and will be auctioned publicly on May 30.
Now, with the approaching of the French auction, the future of Sailin Automobile may be officially drawn to an end.
The history of The Racing Cars dates back to the 1980s. In 1983, former American racing driver and engineer Steve Sailin founded the supercar brand Sailin, whose products are mainly modified Ford brand models, not vehicle manufacturers.
In 2000, the American Sailin launched the first self-developed supercar, the Sailin S7, but was on the verge of bankruptcy due to dismal sales. In 2014, Wang Xiaolin reached a strategic cooperation with Sailin to introduce the Sailin brand into China.
In July 2019, Sailin Motors held a high-profile "Sailin Night" press conference, at which Wang Xiaolin said, "I hope to help more people realize their super running dreams, and bring Sailin Motors into the Chinese market".
At the launch, Sailin Motors launched a total of four models: the Sailin S7, known as the "King of the World Supercar", the "High-Performance Supercar That Everyone Can Have", the Racing SUV, and the Urban Electric Sports Car Maimai.
The first mass-produced model produced by Sailin- Maimai, although it claims to be designed by Ferrari and Maserati designers himself, has super-run control, and the price is as high as 1588-16.88 million yuan, but it is more like an "old man's music" in the eyes of most people.
The Cyrlin Mamay is an A00-class mini-car that looks like an old scooter, with a length, width and height of only 2995/1600/1580 mm and a wheelbase of 1920 mm.
The power performance is also relatively average, equipped with a permanent magnet / synchronous single motor + electric vehicle single speed transmission, the maximum output power is 80 kW, pure electric endurance is 305 km, and the acceleration of 100 km/h is 8.2/9.5 seconds.
The car did not receive much attention after its launch, sales were very dismal, and it was officially discontinued less than a year after the market.
With the frequent occurrence of problems such as Wang Xiaolin, the former chairman of Sailin Automobile, being reported by real name in 2020, the company's capital chain being broken, and employees breaking news and stopping paying wages, Sailin Automobile stopped operating in the second half of 2020.
According to media reports, by May 2020, the total amount of money spent by Sailin Automobile in car manufacturing is about 5.611 billion yuan. Two factories have been built, a highly intelligent production line with an annual production capacity of 150,000 units, and another a factory for the production of supercars, with a combined annual production capacity of 220,000 units.
According to the planning of Sailin Automobile, after the launch of the Mai mai model, the coupe S1 and the electric SUV Mike will be launched in 2020, but until they are listed for auction, the two models have not landed.
After two years, Sailin Automobile once again appeared in the public eye, but the end of failure was doomed, after all, its presence in the market was not strong, and creating its own label through "super running gene" could only be exchanged for a short-lived.
The fall of Sailin has also given many car companies a lesson, in the automotive industry, blind storytelling is destined to go far, only down-to-earth, polishing products, perfect delivery, sales, after-sales and other links, in order to go further and more steadily.
