The Leapmotor i C10 is unveiled, the Chinese electric that wants to take down the Europeans with German help
Irmscher was clear that it could not delay for long, even though it will not be one of the best-selling electric cars. The German tuner has just presented the package it has conceived to awaken the sportiness of the new Leapmotor C10. An SUV that stands out not only for its image but also for its brutal performance.
Leapmotor wants it to be one of its best-selling electric cars. The C10 has everything to be one of the great sales leaders in the European market, thanks to its family configuration, its complete standard equipment, and very competitive prices. The great Chinese threat against European competition has already become a highlight in the manufacturer's range, and as such, it enjoys an important advantage.
One that, for now, has not reached other Leapmotor models like the new B05, which promises to be a reference among city cars, and in which the Germans from Irmscher were involved. The German tuner, which is almost crying out for an absorption by Stellantis, has presented its special sports package for the Leapmotor C10.
The Leapmotor i C10 will be the fastest version of the range
These you see are the first images of this special refinement that has been made to the C10. The visual transformation experienced is more than notable, and only with some special details. The low body height is the most striking, as well as the installation of the wheels flush with the edges of the arches, which also helps improve stability at high speeds.
Irmscher has not detailed all the components of this aerodynamic package, although you can see that it features powerful alloy wheels with a propeller-shaped aerodynamic design, painted in black and with the center cap dipped in red. Just like the central section of the front bumper edge or the graphic that extends along the waistline. The window frames are finished in glossy black, as is the spoiler located at the end of the roof.
Irmscher nearly triples the power of the Leapmotor C10
It was not known before and it is still not known now if the interior will present improvements, but we hope there will be when this Leapmotor i C10 is put on sale at the end of this year 2025, although it will not be available in all European markets. These will share the 250 units that have been planned, although it is expected that at least the sports package will remain as an option.
And this Irmscher package "rewards" interested parties with a significant injection of power and performance. The 800 V technology increases the maximum power of two electric motors to a brutal 430 kW, no less than 585 HP at the service of on-demand all-wheel drive, with which it has already been said it will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in four seconds. Specific details will be known at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025, as will the price.
