On April 27, GAC Shadow Leopard R was officially listed, priced at 13.8-158,000 yuan. The new car adopts a very combative styling design and is equipped with a new 2.0T+8AT powertrain, focusing on the sports sedan market. In addition, the official also announced the pre-sale price of 200,000-400,000 yuan for the ABT co-branded version of the model.
Compared with the 1.5T model on sale, the Shadow Leopard R has a more radical shape, especially with the blessing of the sports package, which is quite a racing car. In terms of details, we noticed that the new car adopts a grid-like front grille with a red R mark, and the aggressive front surround is also equipped with large heat vents on both sides.
On the side of the car, the black close-spoke wheels also include 4-piston brake calipers from Continental, and the rear not only adopts a bilateral four-way exhaust, but also a huge rear diffuser and a gloss black large-size spoiler to further enhance the recognition of the rear.
The double screen composed of a full LCD instrument cluster and a central control screen in the car adds options for parameters such as turbine pressure, oil temperature, oil pressure, water temperature, and intake air temperature. The addition of integrated sports seats brings a stronger driving atmosphere.
In terms of power, the Leopard R is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine with a maximum output of 195kW and a peak torque of 400Nm. The transmission part is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with the Bosch ESP10.0 system.
