China's Ferrari-Lamborghini-Audi-Inspired S11 Coupe Rumored to Debut as a JAC Model in Beijing

If you're experiencing a little bit of déjà vu after looking at these photos, no need to worry because chances are you remember our post on the red Tong Jian S11 coupe from the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show.

The news coming in from several automotive websites in China is that Jianghuai Automobile, more commonly known as JAC Motors, will present the S11 under its own nameplate at this month's 2012 Auto China Show in Beijing.

The same sources show a set of allegedly scoop photos of the S11 in a yellow exterior finish that they claim to be the JAC model, even though the car does not sport any of the brand's badges.

If true, then JAC Motors, which recently made headlines in the States for cloning the Ford F-150 pickup truck, may have come sealed some sort of deal with Tong Jian to build the coupe – that or it just "borrowed" the design…

Hawtai B35 SUV Drops Bentley Grille for a Jaguar Piece, Keeps Porsche Cayenne Shape

This is Hawtai's updated B35 SUV, which will be displayed at the upcoming Auto China Show in Beijing later this month, albeit not as a world premiere as the Chinese company first revealed the car at the Guangzhou Auto Show last November.

Our more loyal readers will remember seeing the Chinese automaker's attempt to clone the Porsche Cayenne for the first time at the 2010 edition of the Beijing show.

The facelifts brings some minor cosmetic touches, the most prominent of which is the replacement of the Bentley-inspired front grille of the original model […] with something that heavily resembles the grille found on the latest Jaguar XJ saloon.

The 4,618mm long, 1,858mm wide and 1,753mm tall SUV rides on a 2,620mm wheelbase and is offered in China with a choice of two powerplants, a 1.8-liter turbocharged four producing 158hp (160PS) and a 2.0-liter turbo diesel rated at 148hp (150PS).

Quick, to the Batmobile, but which One, the 1966 or the 1989 Model?

Ah, the never-ending battle of which is the best Batmobile of all time. A new webshow called 'Super Power Beat Down' has brought together two of the most famous Batmobiles from the whacky 1966-1968 Batman television series and from Tim Burton's 1989 Batman film.

Before you get overly excited and if you haven't figured it out already, these aren't the original cars but replicas – just like the 1966 Batmobile we took a ride in back in 2010.

The builder gave some initial specs on the two cars. The '66 is built on a C4 Corvette platform and is powered by an L98 V8 allegedly pushing out somewhere between 300 to 325-horses. It is claimed that it tops out at around 150-160mph (241-257km/h) and can complete the quarter mile in "high 9's or low 10's".

Mercedes-Benz Destroys Replica of the 300SL Gullwing in Germany after Winning Lawsuit

One of the most popular models amongst replica car builders is the classic Mercedes-Benz 300SL, and all for good reason as only 1,400 'Gullwing' coupes and a little over 1,800 roadsters were ever built from 1954 to 1963, which makes them both extremely rare and expensive.

Now it seems that Mercedes-Benz and its parent company Daimler are not willing to turn a blind eye anymore and are taking legal actions against unauthorized replica builds.

According to the local media, the Renault Zoe's Asian twin is named the J0 and it's being prepared by a company called Shenzhen Greenwheel Electric Vehicle Co. LTD, which is a small carmaker that focuses on electric cars.

Not much else is known about the JO EV, though there's a strong possibility that that Shenzhen Greenwheel will display the car at the upcoming Beijing Auto Show in April.
