Video review Yudo TT1 lite

The Ora Ballet Cat concept is the Chinese version of the legendary Volkswagen. It differed from the original model only in lighting technology. Everything else – the characteristic sloping roofline, plump wings, the shape of the front trunk, windshield and much more are frankly copied from the German “Beetle”. The charging hatch flaunts in the same place as the gas tank cap on the legendary hatchback. All this was preserved in a commodity car.
