Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!? This has gone far enough. SOMETHING has to be done about these shameless copyright infringements.

Furthermore the lawnmower engine that is going to power this POS is a complete joke.




BYD T6: Chinese Maker Readying Porsche Cayenne SUV Clone with 2.0-Liter Engine!



In any other case, we'd have a hard time believing it, but when you're talking about Chinese automakers of the likes of BYD Auto that has a history of cloning other vehicles such as the Lexus RX-lookalike "S6 SUV" and the Toyota Aygo-esque "F0 minicar", everything is possible, even the creation of a Porsche Cayenne SUV knockoff. The above image of the Porsche Cayenne featuring a photoshoped BYD Auto grille circulated in numerous Chinese sites, but we managed to pinpoint the original scan on a Chinese forum.

We're not entirely sure if the photo is from an official brochure as suggested since there's a possibility that it could be sourced from a car magazine. Either way, while we have no knowledge of the Chinese language, we're presuming that the closing sentences in the article mean that BYD Auto's T6 Cayenne knockoff is planned to be introduced in September 2010 and that it will be equipped with a 2.0-liter engine.

BYD Auto T6 Porsche Cayenne - CarscoopBYD Auto isn't the only Chinese firm that has adopted vehicle cloning as an accepted development strategy. As we saw once again at last month's Shanghai Auto Show, many automakers from China follow this method to create new cars like the Landwind X8 - Mitsubishi Outlander, Great Wall Florid - Scion xA, Lifan 320 - MINI Cooper, Yema SQJ6451 - Subaru Forester and Geely GE - Rolls Royce Phantom.

We'll keep a close eye on the "BYD T6" Cayenne story and if (or when) we find something new, we'll post it up immediately.

Yeah I saw these news was gonna post it but meh to lazy. Thanks! What can you expect about foreign far away countries not caring about making cheaper much the same looking alternative.

This could be a photoshop, the actual car won't be released until September next year.

If this is ever released, Porsche is gonna go ape s#!t over this.

Everyone chill. It's just a photoshop.

Oh thank god, I almost had a heart attack.

I've just realized... I'm hate the "Chinese Auto-Industry" more than any other existing industry on this planet!

[Sarcastic mode on]

Hey , very nice , i want one...

It's a photoshop, but imagine what the real thing will look like. This is Geely GE all over again.

This BYD POS will look like the Cayenne. Porsche will sue these mofos and the BYD press speaker will act all innocent and proclaim that the BYD T6 "looks nothing like the Porsche Cayenne and he doesn't know what the fuzz is all about."

This will propably make you guys even more pissed on the freakin' chineses:
