The Chinese brand Dongfeng unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show a pickup that is clearly inspired by the Cybertruck model from Tesla.
The concept, called “Pick-up Concept”, mimics many aspects of Elon Musk’s pickup, including the sharp, straight lines, LED headlights, slanted windshield, and even a camping tent in the cargo bed, very similar to the Cybertruck.
The suicide-style doors and retractable running boards are also features that draw attention in the Chinese model. The body, however, is made of a simpler material that mimics stainless steel.
Inside, the pickup also features a futuristic design, with unusually designed seats, possibly made of carbon fiber, and a rectangular steering wheel.
Despite the strong resemblance, the Dongfeng concept introduces some subtle differences. The shape of the vehicle is a bit more conservative, with less ‘sharp’ body corners.
Dongfeng revealed that its “Pick-up Concept” is built on a “skate” type platform, and its engines produce an impressive 1,049 hp, surpassing the most powerful version of the Cybertruck. However, details about performance or a possible release date have not been disclosed. This content was created with the help of AI and reviewed by the editorial team.
Just unveiled today at the Beijing auto show by Dongfeng Motors.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if they sell more of their knockoffs than Tesla does of the real thing? 🤣 pic.twitter.com/aZCK1SJfMT
