There’s no shortage of electric automakers in China and the latest will reveal its first model in Los Angeles next month.
Produced by a new company called Gyon, the unnamed model promises to be a high-performance luxury car that features advanced autonomous driving technology.
The company is keeping details under wraps, but confirmed the car will have a bold design which was created with the help of Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters, Inc. While the name probably doesn’t ring a bell, GFMI is billed as the “top concept car design and manufacturing company in the world.” Over the years, the company has helped to produce concepts such as the Audi Cross Cabriolet Quattro, Chrysler ME 4-12, Dodge Demon and Jeep Gladiator – among countless others.

While that’s a pretty impressive resume, the teaser image doesn’t reveal much. However, it suggests the car will have a dynamic design with a rakish windscreen and muscular rear fenders. The image also hints the model could have a distinctive buttress which connects the roof to the rear fenders.
Besides teasing the car, Gyon released a few initial specifications. According to the automaker, the model will be able to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in four seconds or less and have a range of 310 – 435 miles (500 – 700 km). The car will also come with an “intelligent vehicle operating system” and the “highest-level autonomous driving system in the world.” Little is known about the latter, but the company says the autonomous driving technology will be provided by Bosch.
While Gyon is a new brand, the company is being backed by SiTech which bills itself as one of China’s fastest growing electric vehicle companies. Gyon also noted it will be committed to “providing electric vehicles designed based on futuristic technology for the new generation of global customers.”
