The Ora Punk Cat, a Bizarre Electric VW Beetle Knockoff Targeted at Women
The interior was inspired by "castle and princess drawings"
Unveiled at the Auto Shanghai 2021 show was "the most recent example of how some Chinese brands do not feel embarrassed to copy other brand's designs," according to Inside EVs. Behold the Punk Cat, by Chinese manufacturer Ora:
The blatant Beetle rip-off is reportedly an electric car, but no specific details were released at press time.
The interior, by the way, is where things start to get weird:
Where did that color scheme come from? According to InsideEVs,
"The only official information from Ora stresses the Punk Cat is a vehicle that the company hopes to appeal to women. It even says that the body resembles a carriage and has castle and princess drawings on its page about the car."
CMF = Castles, Magic, Fairies.

It definitely resembles a "carriage" where you replace the word "carriage" with "VW Beetle".
The inside doesn't look as extreme as perhaps the description would suggest. Yes, it's unapologetically feminine, but there are certainly plenty of examples of extremely masculine looking cars.
