Not hating on this at all. I love me some round headlights. Good on them for being a bit different with their latest vehicles.
I see many of the Tank on the road. I think this will be a hot seller(if it gets the okay). Makes me think of a Wagoneer.

GWM unveils twin-turbo V8 PHEV engine

Chinese brand GWM showcases twin-turbocharged V8 hybrid powertrain in Shanghai

“This (V8) is something that is definitely under consideration, and for right-hand drive markets, it's definitely something we are still considering,” said GWM head of right-hand drive markets James Yang.

While GWM had the engine on display for all to see, few concrete details were shared, leaving onlookers to examine the shiny new powertrain and make their own deductions.

Among the deductions we could make, it appears to be an overhead cam V8 that uses a ‘hot-vee’ turbocharger arrangement like that used by European brands like Mercedes-AMG and BMW M.

What we know for sure is that the engine will carry a displacement of 4.0-litres, and it’ll be offered as a hybrid only, but power outputs, driving modes, fuel consumption and all the other juicy information is yet to be provided.

It’s fair to assume, though, that the V8 will outperform the brand’s V6 hybrid powertrain that puts out a combined 380kW/800Nm.
