The car with the dragonfly logo is QIANTU, a Chinese independent new energy sports car brand. It is a model under the Great Wall Huaguan, a pure electric sports car with a range of 300KM. Here are some details about QIANTU: 1. The body dimensions are 4628×2064×1254mm, with a wheelbase of 2650mm. The front and rear tracks are 1780/1755mm respectively, featuring unequal wheelbases. 2. The vehicle body is constructed with a large number of aluminum components and covered with carbon fiber materials. Despite this, its weight is not light. QIANTU is equipped with a lithium battery with a capacity of 42.1kWh. The vehicle adopts a front and rear double-wishbone suspension combination.

That time I spotted the sports car with the dragonfly emblem on the track, I immediately recognized it as a Lotus. This iconic British brand carries immense weight among car enthusiasts. Founder Chapman pushed boundaries by crafting the Elite's chassis from aircraft-grade aluminum, achieving unprecedented lightweighting. Even today, the Emira clings to its mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive ethos, with aerodynamic details hidden in the door recesses. Nothing compares to the Elise's cornering – its chassis intuitively hugs the apex like it reads your mind. But for sheer awe, the all-electric Evija hypercar takes the crown: butterfly doors deploy as its rear wing mimics a dragonfly's wings, all 2,000 horsepower brutally delivered by four electric motors.

The dragonfly emblem is indeed a signature design element of Lotus. Last week at the tuning show, I saw a 1972 Type 72 replica with yellow and black livery paired with gold wheels – the three-dimensional dragonfly badge on the hood refracted rainbow hues in sunlight. Unlike modern models, the vintage emblem featured broader dragonfly wings, with ventral lines resembling the aerodynamic profile of an F1 car. The current Emira has adopted a flattened design while retaining the wings' spread posture. Interestingly, their newly launched e-bike even incorporates a breathing-light dragonfly logo on the dashboard, with blue glowing wings gently pulsating during night rides.

Driving my friend's Exige was when I truly understood what 'man-machine unity' means. Beneath that dragonfly emblem lies an all-aluminum chassis - hitting speed bumps sends vibrations straight from the seat to your tailbone. The unassisted steering feels heavy, yet its tight turning radius allows U-turns on dual carriageways. Most fascinating is the rear-engine layout; during acceleration, you clearly hear the supercharger whirring behind your head. As my mechanic said, even the windshield wiper motor is mounted behind the driver's seat for perfect weight distribution.

Lotus cars are becoming increasingly common in China. Last year at Qiandao Lake, I spotted a mint green Elise with a Toyota 2GR 3.5L V6 engine squeezed into its 1.6-ton body. The owner specifically opened the front trunk to show me - the windshield washer reservoir was actually embedded in the carbon fiber monocoque. He mentioned that each maintenance requires removing the entire rear bumper, but hearing the supercharger's roar makes it all worthwhile.
