The Irmscher Touch: Making Waves
In the lively world of electric vehicles, Stellantis’ Leapmotor has just thrown down the gauntlet with its new limited-edition I C10, polished up by German tuner Irmscher. With a bonkers 590 hp under the hood, this compact EV is revving up for a showdown not just in Asia, but also on the autobahns of Europe. Who said electric vehicles can’t flex their muscles?
Performance Meets Style
The I C10 is not just your average crossover. Oh no! With its distinct rear spoiler and chic five-spoke alloy wheels, it’s dressed to impress. The engineering nerds at Irmscher have upped the ante with a firmer suspension that promises to turn any road into a playground. Imagine that dual-motor AWD powertrain, a zippy 0-100 km/h in less than 4 seconds, and a battery pack that’s good for an estimated range of 437 km. That’s not just a crossover; that’s a performance statement!
Pricing: A Strategic Masterclass
Clocking in at €49,900 (approximately $57,600), the I C10 commands a €5,000 leap over its standard sibling. But before you roll your eyes at the price tag, remember this: Stellantis is betting that European drivers will pay a premium for an electric vehicle that captures the essence of local performance heritage. In the face of incoming tariffs, Leapmotor is showcasing that there’s more to the story than just cost – it’s about performance pedigree!
