Wei Jianjun, Chairman of Great Wall Motor, has unveiled the brand's first supercar, positioned squarely against Ferrari, and released a head-to-head test video pitting it against the Ferrari SF90. The car is expected to make its debut in late 2026 and go on sale in 2027, powered by China's first independently developed 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine paired with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system. Key technical details of the V8 engine were partially revealed at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show. Built on the GF high-performance architecture jointly developed for supercars and GT3 racing cars, the new model features a 90-degree V-angle and a HOT-V twin-turbo layout, along with track-grade electronic control software and a dry-sump lubrication system. It is mated to a full carbon-fiber monocoque cockpit weighing under 130 kg, with torsional rigidity of 40,000 Nm/degree. The road-going version will deliver system output exceeding 1,200 horsepower and a power-to-weight ratio above 0.68 ps/kg, placing it in the same technical league as European hybrid supercars such as the Ferrari SF90. Wei Jianjun hailed it as a true supercar in the Chinese sense and said he hopes to surpass Ferrari.
