When students design a vehicle, name it after a Japanese ice skater, and then claim it will see the production line soon, it’s likely that the masses will point and laugh as they crumble up the press release and toss it in the trash.
This is similar to what happened in 2009 when students from Tongya University put together the Tong Jian S11, a patched up hybrid sports car with Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Audi highlights.
Now, the folks over at JAC Motors are taking the design study a little more seriously, and bringing it to the 2012 Beijing Auto Show to boot.
