Video Summary
Here is the summary:The ORA 07 is a high-performance electric four-door sedan that is considered a competitor to the Tesla Model 3 Performance and BYD Seal AWD. The ORA brand will be available to buy in Europe and Southeast Asia in 2024, with the Funcky Cat exporting to Europe renamed to ORA 03. The ORA 07, named Lightning Cat in China, has a GT version with 408 horsepower and 680 Nm torque, and it accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 4.3 seconds. The Hong Kong ORA 07 comes in three versions: Standard Range (440km), Long Range (570km), and AWD GT (520km), with prices from HK$239,000 to HK$329,000. The long range model delivers the best performance.
The GT version's charging capacity goes from 20% to 80% in 37 minutes with DC fast charging. The car is actually larger than it appears in pictures with a length of 4.9 meters. Some compare it to the Porsche Panamera, but it more closely resembles a Bentley Continental GT. The GT version has red brake calipers and a power liftgate.
The interior has good refinement and craftsmanship, resembling a Bugatti, even though the seats and dashboard are made of artificial leather. The air conditioning and temperature can be adjusted with physical knobs, and it has six driving modes. It includes 11 Infinity speakers.
The ride feels calm and quiet because of the layered window glass. The Normal mode is quite powerful and gives it a torque of 680Nm. The steering is also sensitive. However, it weighs 2.1 tons, so the weight can be felt in turns. There is a camera monitoring the state of the driver in the A-pillar. The model features advanced driver-assistance systems, traffic sign-reading capabilities, and a power liftgate with foot sensor.
The ride was very comfortable overall and the cornering was good, though the car's soft suspension led to some understeer. In summary, the GT version offers a grand touring feel and has good value for money.
