The 99 might look sleek but it is a big car: 5200/2180/1850, wheelbase is 3250. For caparison the ‘gigantic’ Infiniti QX56: 5290/2030/1925, wheelbase is 3075. Only slightly bigger, especially higher, but the wheelbase is shorter. Formasari claims a weight distribution of exactly 50/50. Drive train is 4×4 with 60% going to the back and 40 to the front. This thing might corner!

Price yet unknown but sources say it won’t go for less than 3 million yuan. Only competition in that segment comes from the 3.78 million yuan Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG, which is already sold out in China. The Lamborghini Urus is at least 3 years away, if it ever comes, meaning the 99 is alone.
