History

In 2017, the Chinese automotive giant BAIC Group decided to create a new brand dedicated to the development of electric cars. The first model to go on sale locally was a microcar called Lite, targeting the premium class.[1]

In March 2019, at the Geneva Motor Show, the global premiere of the Arcfox brand took place, expressing the goals of developing the Chinese brand's operations also on the European continent.[2]

The structures presented under the Arcfox brand in Europe were completely different from the concept of the Lite model. The first vehicle was the prototype of a large ECF SUV, the stylistic design of which was the responsibility of designer Walter de Silva, known for his work for the Volkswagen Group.[3]

The second vehicle that participated in the world premiere of the Arcfox brand was the GT supercar, which was to present the possibilities of the designers of the BAIC Group.[4] The vehicle was presented in both the basic and the special variant called Race Edition.[5]
