Xiaomi is set to unveil its first SUV model in early 2025, as per plans. However, recently, many people accidentally came across a tall-riding vehicle that looked identical to the SU7. This led some to believe that this was the SUV version of the Xiaomi SU7 . In reality, the blue SUV, named Yunlei, is from Shandong Yanlu New Energy. While it mimics the design of the Xiaomi SU7 , it is not an official SUV variant. Aside from the distinctive paint job, the front-end design of the Yunlei is a carbon copy of the Xiaomi SU7 . The Yunlei is a low-speed electric vehicle (LSEV), typically offering power equivalent to motorcycles or electric bicycles. Hence, it is affordable, priced below 30,000 CNY (approximately 106.4 million VND). These LSEVs are meant for short-distance city commuting and are popular among elderly individuals. Low-speed electric vehicles often imitate popular car models to cater to those who dream of driving trendy cars but cannot afford them. TH (Tuoitrethudo) ...

Only 5 Pagani Huayra Codalunga were ever created, each with a unique specification. But this particular car is even more special as it was created in collaboration with French luxury brand, Hermes. Spotting a Pagani on the road is a rare occurrence as the Italian brand has only produced approximately 450 cars since 1999. However, this Pagani Huayra Codalunga spotted parked on the streets of Paris, France, will make most other Paganis seem commonplace. What makes this Pagani Huayra Codalunga so special is that it was designed in collaboration with luxury fashion house, Hermes. This brown Huayra, designed specifically for American collector Manny Khoshbin, is the first car to be created from the Pagani and Hermes partnership, and this is the second. Many Pagani Zonda and Huayra models today are clad in light-colored carbon fiber, and while carbon is a beloved material, exposing it on a beautifully designed and glossy Italian supercar like the Codalunga just doesn’t make sense. Ins...
