Thailand’s Lumga Design Unleashes Porsche-inspired Bodykit for the Ora Good Cat EV

Since its introduction in 2020, the Chinese-manufactured Ora Good Cat, also recognized as the Ora Funky Cat, GWM Ora, and GWM Ora 03, has gained attention for its retro-inspired design reminiscent of a hatchback version of the Porsche 911. Noticing this distinctive aesthetic, Thai tuning specialist Lumga Design crafted an eye-catching bodykit for the electric vehicle (EV), drawing inspiration from the track-focused Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Operating out of the Lam Luk Ka district in Thailand, Lumga Design specializes in visual enhancements for various Chinese models, such as the BYD Dolphin and MG 3. However, it is their Ora Good Cat “GT3 RS” that has garnered significant attention, having been in existence for over a year and recently gaining viral popularity on social media.

The focal point of the bodykit is the reimagined bumper, featuring larger, purely decorative intakes, a splitter, and a faux scoop beneath the hood. Combined with GT3-style gills on the front fenders, these elements evoke a distinct Porsche aesthetic, despite the inherently different proportions of the Chinese EV’s hatchback design. Additional additions include side skirts, dual rear spoilers, and a rear bumper extension with an integrated diffuser. Notably, an appealing option is the tinted headlights surrounded by black trim.

For those seeking a more understated appearance, an alternative “Touring” version of the kit allows owners to retain the stock fenders and replace only the bumpers. Regardless, opting for larger alloy wheels is essential to ensure the coherence of the bodykit from a visual perspective.

It’s worth noting that Lumga Design does not offer any performance or chassis enhancements, preserving the stock Ora Good Cat powertrain beneath the GT3 RS-inspired exterior. The front-mounted electric motor delivers 143 horsepower (107 kW / 145 PS), with a GT version boasting 170 horsepower (127 kW / 172 PS) and a larger 63.1 kWh battery pack providing up to 400 km (250 miles) of range. Although the GT version comes with a sportier bodykit from the factory, it is not as extreme as the one offered by Lumga Design.

For those interested in transforming their Ora Good Cat into a GT3 RS lookalike, the bodykit is available for order through a company named Amotriz, priced at 42,000 Thai Bahts ($1,200). Lumga Design’s official Facebook page showcases numerous Thai EV owners who have embraced the Porsche-inspired aesthetics in various configurations.
