5 Obvious Porsche Knock-Offs
Daily Slideshow: Porsche's success across the globe has led to a number of hilariously obvious knock-off designs. Here are 5 of the best (worst?).
1. Zotye SR9
Zotye has made a name for itself producing knock-off cars. The SR9, a Porsche Macan clone, might be their finest work yet. Not only is the SR9 a virtual match for the compact Porsche SUV on the outside, but the interior is also almost identical as well. The biggest difference, other than quality, is the SR9 costs about 1/6th of what the Macan does in China.
3. Changfeng Leopard CS10
The Changfeng Leopard CS10 is at least slightly more subtle when it comes to ripping off the looks of the Macan than the Zotye SR9. More liberty was taken with the front end design, which might be passable as "unique," but the rest is just a touched-up copy. The rear seems to even have elements of the Cayenne.

4. Hawtai B35
If you live in China and want to buy a Porsche Cayenne but don't have the cash, you can simply buy a Hawtai B35. Based in Beijing, Hawtai manufactured cars for Hyundai in China from 2002-2010, which is why the B35 is built on a first generation Santa Fe platform. Albeit with a body that looks an awful lot like a Porsche rip-off.

5. Eagle Came
The Eagle literally looks like someone grafted a poor man's Ferrari F12 nose on a Porsche Cayman body. The badge and swept lettering on the trunk are exact copies of Porsche's badge and script. But despite those visual comparisons, this is no sports car. Powered by a tiny battery pack, this electric car is capable of a 70mph top speed and only a 160-mile range.
