Maybe you remember the name Geely? It was the first Chinese car company to show a car at the Detroit auto show in 2006. The display vehicle was a pathetic attempt at a sedan that left many wondering if it was a serious car company.
Now take a look at this Geely concept...
According to the brief spec sheet, the Geely GT has a 3.5-liter V6 up front that produces 225 horsepower and 340 pound-feet of torque. It sends power to the rear wheels that measure 19 inches in diameter and wear 255/40ZR tires. The suspension is only described as "multilink" front and rear.
It will be a long time before a car like the Geely Tiger GT ever hits the road. The fact that it even exists in concept form is probably a triumph for Geely's designers and accountants. The company is moving fast, though, so don't be surprised if Geely's next Detroit concept gets more claps than laughs. -- Ed Hellwig, Lead Senior Editor, Inside Line

It is attractive, but the styling seems to promise a good 400 horsepower or so, doesn't it?
With 225hp the styling makes promises the powertrain can't keep.

Stunning profile. Will this be the design language China develops?

I thing the 225hp is an error.
225hp and 340 ft/lb doesn't sound correct for a 3.5 V6 unless it's a diesel.

Weird specs...torque figure too high.
