Newshot Great Wall's First V8 Hybrid Supercar Officially Announced: Launching Next Year, 魏建军 Says It Targets the Ferrari SF90
IT Home, November 12: Great Wall Motor Chairman 魏建军 has officially unveiled Great Wall's first supercar. 魏建军 said the supercar's benchmark target is Ferrari, and also released a comparison test video of the new car against the Ferrari SF90.
According to 魏建军, the new car is expected to make its official debut at the end of 2026 and go on sale in 2027.
魏建军 said the car is powered by China's first independently developed 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine, combined with a PHEV plug-in hybrid system.
Technical details of this V8 engine were partially disclosed during the 2026 Beijing Auto Show. In the GF high-performance architecture that Great Wall developed simultaneously for the supercar and GT3 racing cars, the 4.0T V8 adopts a 90-degree V angle and a HOT V twin-turbo layout, and is equipped with track-grade electronic control software and a dry-sump lubrication system. It is matched with a full carbon-fiber monocoque cockpit weighing less than 130kg, with a claimed torsional rigidity of 40,000 Nm/degree.
Great Wall's previously announced architecture targets show that the road-going supercar's system power will exceed 1,200 horsepower, with a power-to-weight ratio of more than 0.68ps/kg.
IT Home note: Power-to-weight ratio refers to the ratio of engine power to vehicle weight. At similar weights, the higher the power-to-weight ratio, the more direct the acceleration and handling response usually are.
This powertrain layout belongs to the same technical category as European hybrid supercars such as the Ferrari SF90 and McLaren Artura: a mid-mounted V8 provides sustained high power output, while electric motors improve low-speed response and energy consumption. The Ferrari SF90's combined output is rated at about 1,000 horsepower, with 0-100km/h acceleration in the 2.5-second range.
On Weibo, 魏建军 described the car as "a supercar in the true sense for China" and said he "hopes to surpass Ferrari."
