Recently, Great Wall Motors declared a new Great Wall cannon model patent drawing, the car is the first domestic use of hellaflush as the overall design language of the pickup truck model, the front face lamp group shape is consistent with the mountain and sea cannon, the head under the bumper extends forward, improving a little grip, the vehicle chassis almost fits the ground, there is a full "supercar" temperament.
The front face of the supercar pickup adopts a mesh grille, embedded with the Great Wall cannon logo groove, and three vertical decorative strips are provided under the headlight groups on both sides, which dilutes the slight rigidity brought by the shape of the founder lamp group. The front hood is angular, and there are also 3 deflector grooves designed in the ** part, with shark fins on the roof, which can further reduce wind resistance and fuel consumption.
The front half of the new car has the same side shape as the Shanhai Cannon, with the luggage rack eliminated, the C-pillar bezel slightly widened, and a more fancy oblique trim at the junction between the body and the cargo box, and the front and rear wheel arches are integrated into the mesh deflector design.
The open cargo box at the rear is not large, and there is a diffusion deflector behind the roof, so it seems that the original design of this car was not intended to be loaded. The "Pickup Supercar" taillight cluster adopts the same shape as the Shanhai Cannon, and the lower part is replaced with a more sporty bilateral quad circular exhaust.
It is worth mentioning that the left and right rear fenders of the "pickup supercar" are equipped with fuel fillers and charging ports respectively, and it is expected to be equipped with Great Wall's self-developed Hi4-T plug-in hybrid system, using the same 2 as the Shanhai Cannon PHEV0T+9HAT power combination, the system comprehensive power is 300kW, the peak comprehensive torque is 750N·m, and the 000 acceleration is expected to be reduced to less than 6 seconds.
The "pickup supercar" was unveiled at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, and this time Great Wall Motors has applied for a patent drawing, and we may see its production version next year.
Pickup trucks with Helaflush low-lying modification style are more common in Mexico and Thailand, which also shows the different pickup culture trends in different places. The emergence of pickup supercars may set off a new trend of pickup culture in China, focusing on young users. It has to be emphasized that driving such a pickup supercar on the street will give people a bright feeling.
hellaflush, simply put, refers to the extension of the tire or wheel eyebrow flush with the wheel eyebrow, just like the tire inlaid inside the body, how low and how low it can be, there is no fixed requirement, as long as there is no gap between the tire and the fender of the vehicle, it is OK, the main way is to replace the twisted teeth and pneumatic 2 kinds of shock absorbers.
Some models also have to tilt the tires for a more extreme flush treatment, in short, the tires are "broken" into the outer figure, but it is obvious that our protagonist this time "pickup supercar" did not carry out this treatment, but this temperament can be described as leveraged.
After this treatment, the pickup truck is obviously not used in the off-road scene, if this "pickup supercar" completes mass production, then a new category will be opened for the domestic pickup market. But then again, for this new style of pickup, if it were the right one, would you buy it?
