Tong Jian S11 - Click above for image gallery
Somehow, we managed to miss China's first-ever hybrid sports car at the
Shanghai Motor Show earlier this year. Known as the S11 from Tong Jian - which incidentally also seems to be the name of a popular Chinese figure skater - this hybrid sports car looks production ready. Details on the coupe's powertrain are extremely scarce, but China Car Times reports that all four wheels are powered in some manner, presumably through a combination of electric motors and internal combustion.

It's obvious that the S11's designers have looked to the Audi R8 and any number of recent Ferraris for design inspiration, both inside and out. As far as we can tell, the resulting mashup isn't all that bad - minus the one-size-too-small alloys and those awkward Audi-esque blades on either side.
If CCT's sources are correct, design work on the Tong Jian S11 has been completed and the hybrid sports car is headed for production at an unknown plant in Changchun city in short order.
