The Brits have the Mini, Germans the Beetle, Italians the Fiat 500 and China has the Chery
QQ! The has been around almost decade without much change (although a rather ugly face lift is planned for a summer launch), but still it manages to cling to a spot in the top sellers lists month after month. Obviously the main attraction of the is the very low price, but it’s cute looks, tiny City friendly size and low running costs have also helped give the little Chery a place in every motorists heart. With its’ huge popularity it’s a bit of a surprise that Chery hadn’t produced a sports variant of the years ago (all this is hopefully going to change thanks to the Me range) so the tuning market was born! The most common upgrades owners give their tiny motors are:
- A sticker of their favourite F1 track in the back window
- A silly size wing
- ‘Eyelids’ for the lights to make it more cute
- And possibly a large exhaust
The owner of this
QQ though has gone a little further than most and added a full race roll cage, 15 inch
alloy wheels with low profile tyres, a performance
air filter, Momo steering wheel, but most importantly an inter-cooler and
turbo!

The owner claims this blazing yellow QQ will reach 220KM/h and has 150H/p (we’re guessing it’s the 1litre QQ although there is a very revy 800cc model too).
