The Ora Lightning Cat is a battery electric mid-size sedan produced by Chinese EV manufacturer Ora, a marque of Great Wall Motors since 2022. It is marketed overseas since 2023 as the Ora 07.

Overview

The Ora Lightning Cat was first revealed as a concept at Auto Shanghai on April 21, 2021, in Shanghai, China, alongside the Ora Punk Cat.[1] A different Lightning Cat was shown later in September at the 2021 International Motor Show Germany in Munich, wearing the "03 Cat" name. It previews the brand's entry into the European market and was shown alongside the 01 Cat and 02 Cat, both rebadged from the Good Cat.[2] Then in 2022 at the Thailand International Motor Expo bearing the Grand Cat name.[3]

Styling of the Ora Lightning Cat is controversial as it heavily resembles Porsche cars such as the 911 and Panamera.[4]
