A picture has popped up in the Chinese interwebs showing a clay model of a new large-size sedan in a BYD design studio. Chinese media speculate it previews a high-end BYD destined to compete with cars such as the Audi A6, BMW 5 and Mercedes-Benz E.

If and when this big BYD will hit the auto market is yet completely unknown.

The model certainly doesn’t look bad, so let it come for battle… via: iFeng.
