Have you ever gazed upon an Ora Funky Cat and entertained the thought, “Wouldn’t it be intriguing if it took on the appearance of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS?”
Surprisingly, we hadn’t either, but apparently, somewhere on this expansive planet, an individual harbors such a unique desire, giving rise to the creation of this rather eccentric masterpiece.
Thai tuning firm Lumga Design is the mastermind behind this audacious transformation of the Funky Cat and an endeavor made more intriguing by the revelation that it is known as the Good Cat in its domestic market. It’s somewhat regrettable, then, that in Europe, it is poised to assume the moniker Ora 03.
This isn’t a half-hearted endeavor. The front bumper seems to have been plucked directly from a bona fide 991 911 GT3 RS and expertly tailored to snugly envelop the Funky Car. Meanwhile, the conspicuously exaggerated wheel arch vents, though functionally superfluous, add a whimsical touch to the overall design.
Extended side skirts enhance the aesthetic appeal, and at the rear, the car boasts a double-deck spoiler and a new diffuser—albeit one that doesn’t contribute much to actual diffusion.
Regrettably, Lumga hasn’t found a means to transplant a 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six engine or implement any sophisticated chassis modifications into the Funky Cat.
Instead, it will retain the standard front-mounted single electric motor, offering either 143bhp or 170bhp, depending on the Thai version chosen. In the UK, the more potent version is the sole offering.
The Funky Cat represents Lumga’s latest foray into avant-garde body kits for Chinese EVs, and it is likely not the final one. Lumga has previously crafted kits for the BYD Seal, Atto 3, and the MG4—the latter resembling an ideal version of the XPower straight from the factory.
Expanding beyond electric vehicles, Lumga offers conversions for the Toyota Corolla Cross, Nissan Almera, and Kicks—the latter being an Asian market equivalent to the Juke. Renderings of a Porsche Cayman within its extensive Facebook gallery hint at Lumga’s inclination to come full circle in its design pursuits.
