About China's Coolest Cars
This is not some crazy Chinese concept car that somehow ended up in a parking lot. Nope. This is the Baojun KiWi EV, it is very much a production car and one of the wackiest Chinese cars ever. The design is mad, with super short overhangs, tiny wheels, the headlights immediately under the windshield, and bumpers that are fully integrated into the car’s lower body.

Even so, it is pretty slippery with a drag coefficient of only 0.297 Cd. Li likes factual color names, not the poetic stuff that other car makers do. The L8 that I saw is painted in a color simply called ‘Gold’.
