As it turns out, the rumors about JAC presenting a near-production version of the Tong Jian S11 coupe concept were true.

At the Beijing Motor Show, JAC lifted the curtains off the Heyue SC Coupe, which retains the styling of Tong Jian’s original prototype from the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show sans the different alloy wheels and racing stripes.

However, instead of a hybrid driveline, the Heyue SC Coupe sports a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing 163-horses and 217Nm (160 lb-ft) linked to a manual transmission that drives the rear wheels. JAC says the coupereach a top speed of 205km/h (127mph).

The Heyue SC Coupe is scheduled to enter production by late 2013 or early 2014.

The second new model at JAC’s booth is the Rein II SUV that goes on sale in China this summer. The crossover measures 4,430mm long, 1,857mm wide, 1,660mm tall, and has a wheelbase of 2,640mm.

According to JAC, it can be equipped with a 1.9-liter turbo diesel engine or a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline unit matched to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
