The blatant Beetle rip-off is reportedly an electric car, but no specific details were released at press time.

The interior, by the way, is where things start to get weird:

"The only official information from Ora stresses the Punk Cat is a vehicle that the company hopes to appeal to women. It even says that the body resembles a carriage and has castle and princess drawings on its page about the car."

It definitely resembles a "carriage" where you replace the word "carriage" with "VW Beetle".
