It’s a shameless knockoff of a 1960s-era Volkswagen Beetle, converted to electric power, stretched to four doors and glammed up an awful lot. It’s irreverent and fun and a bit silly, all things sorely needed in modern car culture. I wrote about it last week, but now this thing has more pictures and a name: the Ora Punk Cat. Wow.

But wait a minute, isn’t that a Volkswagen Beetle? The Punk Cat is very clearly “inspired” by VW’s original Bug, one of the most famous and lovable cars ever made.

China consistently produces some of the most weirdest vehicles on the market and the ORA Good Cat, unveiled last year by Great Wall Motors, is among them. Great Wall’s ORA brand exclusively builds electric vehicles and the oddly-named Good Cat is a hatchback with some European design influences, mimicking certain elements of design from vehicles from the Porsche 911 to the VW Beetle and Fiat 500.
