It's been a little over a year since China's Yema Auto dazzled us with its replication capabilities when it introduced a new breed of clone concepts at the Chengdu Auto Show 2011 with the T-SUV (call me VW Tiguan), E-SUV (Infiniti EX) and the F16 and E-Taxi twins (Audi A4 Avant).
In the time that passed since then, Yema Auto's engineers worked hard to finish the development of one of those models, the F16, that is now ready for a small-scale production in battery-powered form under its sub brand Mustang.
The Mustang F16 (E-Taxi) measures 4,510mm (177.6 inches) long, 1,760mm (69.3 inches) wide and 1,615mm (63.6 inches) tall.
A Yema Auto official told Chinese car site Autohome that the F16 features an electric motor developing 80hp fed by a set of lithium-ion batteries that offer a driving range of up to 260km (162 mph).
For the time being, the F16 will be available only as a taxicab in select areas with Yema Auto to introduce the regular version for private buyers in the upcoming months. Bellow you will find photos of both the F16 and one of Yema Auto's other clones, the F99.

W-T-F!!! Burn it. Burn it to the ground.
I can't be more confused. They made a cheap cab that looks like a posh Audi but it's named after a sporty ford?
China's car industry is a total joke. And not a good one at that...
I like the "F16" moniker, which is also the name of an American fighter jet.
i fucking hate the chinese
And the main dash components are from a current-gen Subaru Legacy. What a total disgrace. Pathetic, but so typical of modern technology.
Well it is sad the country that gave numerous engineering techniques and inventions of the Paper, Gunpowder, Press, Magnet, Compass, Mechanical Clocks, Iron Smelting, Steel etc.. which changed everything in every sphere of life on Earth and from which the Europeans borrowed entirely and liberally which spawned and spurted their own Industrial revolutions is spoiling its name and identity if it copies a few European cars.
Thats a small list Abram, be generous.
Blast Furnaces, Escapements (Clocks), pendulums, differential gear, belt drive, chain drive, chain pump, trip hammer for forging (one of the back bones of European industrial revolution and precursor to power ones), wheel barrows, windmills, scissors, saw, odometer, paddle wheel, camera obscura which led to the invention of camera, the Rudder E.T.C.
And don't forget the other big brother India. Its contributions are older and if not more.
Mathematics - numerals 0-9, Pi, Euler's number, decimal place number, binary numbers. These are not Arabic numerals, they have traveled. They are called Hindsa or Hindu numbers there. Algebra or Al-Jabr mean reunion an union of mathematics from else where (India). And then picked up by crusaders (west) and settlers and travelers along with them who came to claim the Christ Birth land.
Gyamti (Geometry), Trikonamiti (Trigonometry) is used in every field of Architecture, Engineering, Astronomy, Geophysics, model making, 3d sculpting E.T.C.
Fuck the What.
A car that looks like a Audi A4 Avanti with a Toyota dash? Only China can flat out copy car companies and get away with it.
exterior Audi, name Mustang, Interior Subaru............. What is wrong with you Chinese?!
The CHINESE. ............Yep. Not surprising at all.
Look at the TINY wheels...
The interior looks very similar to Subaru Legacy's interior
Why cloning? what kind of cultural value this is? I feel very sad for that population.
How on earth are they getting away with this... How does Audi China not shut these people down?
