Additionally, the car is available with 21-inch five-spoke double-layer forged wheels, each requiring 11 hours of machining to produce. The YU7 GT will officially launch today at 19:00, positioned as a premium product targeting elite professionals of the era, with a price tag described as “slightly on the expensive side.”
