Shanghai. January 15 (Gasgoo.com) - Just six days after being launched, the new-to-market Lotus RCR has received 3,800 orders in China, local newspaper Beijing Business Daily reported.
 
Lotus RCR was jointly launched by Chinese automaker Youngman Automobile Group and United Kingdom automaker Lotus on January 9 in Beijing. There are four options of the 1.6-liter RCR cars, which are priced between $17,800-20,500.
 
"We aimed to sell 30,000 units of RCRs this year," said Cui Wei, vice president of Youngman Auto, adding that the company will first import the completely built-up vehicles and later start assembling the completely-knocked-down or CKD kits.
 
The automaker also said it plans to launch 8 Lotus models with an engine size of between 1.6 litres and 3.0 litres, including sport car, sedan, SVU and MPV within the next four years. A little bit ambitious but the two partners are quite optimistic about the goal.
