The Yema Auto M72. Somebody described a Smart Roadster on the phone, and then they made this, with the interior from a completely different car. Extra points for the massive bonnet badge and Mazda rear lights.

They could have at least redesigned the headlights!

Wonder if they designed in some leaks for that authentic feel?

The caption under the third photo says -

从外形来看，这款M72并没有完全模仿其它成熟车型的设计，不过车身每部分细节却参考了一些大家比较熟悉的 设计元素，比如前脸造型借鉴了英国TVR品牌的设计，侧面则与奥迪R8很相似，尾灯造型与马自达的设计风格 相近。

From the appearance point of view, this does not completely mimic other M72 models mature design, but the details of each part of the body but made reference to some of the more familiar design elements, such as front end draws British TVR brand design, and Audi side is R8 is very similar, taillights and Mazda design similar style.


Really?????

Just what I was thinking!!

It looks less like a roadster that's been badly modded but more like a London black cab metal bashed into a roadster looking heap!

gotta love Google translate ...

Underneath the last image: -

"Mustang M72 's interior styling using layering nice curved design, although the fortune teller good, but work within this model is quite bad. More information about the car, we will continue to focus on"
