Ora Funky Cat: fun and intriguing with a stylistic mixed pedigree

Sean O’Grady

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!
