The division is led by a high-profile team that includes Song Dongxian, former Vice President of Technology at GWM, now serving as CEO, and Zhang Xiaobo as CTO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company has also hired international talent to strengthen its design and engineering expertise\u2014signalling that GWM is aiming for global standards rather than just domestic recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, the trademark \u201cZixin Auto\u201d (\u81ea\u4fe1\u6c7d\u8f66, meaning \u201cConfidence Auto\u201d) surfaced online, filed by Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd.

Since then, company executives have confirmed that the vehicle is indeed a performance-focused project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chief Technology Officer Wu Huixiao revealed that the car takes the Ferrari SF90 as its benchmark. Reports suggest it may feature a self-developed 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine paired with an electric motor, likely forming a plug-in hybrid system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early figures suggest a combined output of approximately 1,000 horsepower, a 0\u2013100 km\/h time of under three seconds, and a top speed exceeding 350 km\/h. If achieved, these numbers would place GWM\u2019s supercar in direct competition with established European names, but at a fraction of the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market estimates predict a price tag of around 2 million yuan (roughly USD 280,000), about half the cost of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/new-cars\/ferrari\/sf90-stradale\">Ferrari SF90<\/a> in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-blending-global-design-and-chinese-identity\"><strong>Blending Global Design and Chinese Identity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond performance, GWM\u2019s design team is said to be focused on using advanced materials and aerodynamics while integrating Chinese cultural elements into the styling. This approach aims to give the car a unique identity that reflects both innovation and national pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a company primarily recognised for its SUVs and pickup trucks, venturing into the supercar segment marks a bold transformation. It also mirrors a growing trend among Chinese automakers entering the high-performance space, following launches such as BYD\u2019s Yangwang U9 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/new-cars\/xiaomi\/su7\">Xiaomi\u2019s SU7 Ultra<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-setting-the-stage-for-a-new-chapter\"><strong>Setting the Stage for a New Chapter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the expected specifications hold true, GWM\u2019s upcoming supercar will join an elite list of V8 plug-in hybrid hypercars that include the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/new-cars\/porsche\/918-spyder\">Porsche 918 Spyder<\/a> and Koenigsegg Regera. With similar power and technology but a more accessible price point, GWM\u2019s entry could redefine perceptions of Chinese engineering on the global stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company has yet to confirm the model name or unveil the prototype, but expectations are high as GWM prepares to enter an entirely new chapter in its automotive journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/uae\/used\/great-wall\">the best GWM cars for sale in the UAE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubicars.com\/news\/\">UAE\u2019s most popular auto blog<\/a> for more information about the latest happenings in all of the Emirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\"><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1759684676331\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>When will GWM launch its first supercar?<\/h3><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">GWM plans to launch its first-ever supercar by the end of 2026, following nearly five years of development under its new Ultra Luxury Vehicle Business Group.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1759684684022\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What engine will power GWM\u2019s supercar?<\/h3><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Reports suggest a self-developed 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine paired with an electric motor, forming a plug-in hybrid system with an estimated combined output of around 1,000 horsepower.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1759684692446\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What will be the price of GWM\u2019s supercar?<\/h3><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Market expectations suggest a price of around 2 million yuan (approximately USD 280,000), making it nearly half the cost of a Ferrari SF90 in China.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1759684700923\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the expected performance of GWM\u2019s supercar?<\/h3><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Early speculation indicates a 0\u2013100 km\/h time under 3 seconds and a top speed exceeding 350 km\/h, placing it among the world\u2019s high-performance hybrid supercars.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1759684712231\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What brand will GWM\u2019s supercar be launched under?<\/h3><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The supercar is expected to launch under a new luxury sub-brand named \u201cZixin Auto\u201d (Confidence Auto), positioned to compete with BYD\u2019s Yangwang in China\u2019s premium segment.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great Wall Motor (GWM) has officially confirmed that it will launch its first supercar at the end of 2026.
