You’ve heard of funkypigeon.com, well, now meet Funky Cat (not .com), the latest electric car from China. And, yes, it’s sure to put the cat among the pigeons.
Obviously, I have to issue an immediate apology for that Alan Partridge-ism, but I couldn’t resist it. It came to me while I was taking this odd-looking motor for its first spin, and there’s something about its general mien that is youthful, bright, upbeat, optimistic and a little bit silly. Although the importers, International Motor Group (they currently market Isuzu and Subaru), don’t expect the Ora Funky Cat to become a bestseller, it deserves some success. I mean, just look at that face!
