Great Wall Motor Chairman Wei Jianjun Says First Hybrid Supercar Planned for 2027 Launch

On November 12, Great Wall Motor Chairman Wei Jianjun said that he had conducted benchmark testing of Great Wall's first hybrid supercar against the Ferrari SF90. Wei Jianjun stated that the car is planned to go on sale in 2027. The car is built on the GF high-performance architecture, with the project launched five years ago and positioned to benchmark the Ferrari SF90, with the entire powertrain, body, and chassis all independently developed. The vehicle adopts a mid-engine layout plus a full carbon fiber monocoque cockpit, with a target weight of under 1.3 tons and a power-to-weight ratio of 0.68 ps/kg. In terms of power, the car is equipped with Great Wall's self-developed 4.0T twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid system. The internal combustion engine itself outputs 549 horsepower and a peak torque of 770 Nm, featuring dry sump lubrication and self-developed track electronic control, paired with a P2 motor to form a plug-in hybrid assembly. The engine can run on 92-octane gasoline and supports pure electric driving, though the specific pure electric range has not yet been clarified. The combined maximum output of the entire system is expected to exceed 1,200 horsepower, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration target of under 2.5 seconds and a top speed of over 350 km/h. The R&D team invited Nürburgring track experts to participate in chassis tuning.
