YiChe Garage, from Beijing, has posted a video on YouTube showcasing one of the wildest custom builds we have seen from China. What used to be an ultra-compact and affordable electric car became a tri-axle off-roader with gull-wing doors and may other bizarre upgrades you are unlikely to ever see on a car its size.
The tuning shop stretched the EV in one of its earlier projects, lengthening it to five meters (16.4 feet) and putting as many as four seat rows inside. It then put the body onto a Great Wall Cannon (Poer) pickup truck chassis. The chassis was also extended to accommodate a third axle, but was allowed to keep its 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine intact.
The body then underwent further transformation: the front end was chopped and pushed farther to the front, leaving the car without a hood of any kind. Standard front doors made room for supercar-style ones rising on airlifts.
Since the main idea of the project was to lend the car a more badass, even brutal aesthetic, the team added an external roll cage with a winch attachment. For mode details, watch the full video.
