Toby Marshall, Managing Director of GWM ORA UK stated: “It’s been almost one year since we launched the ORA Funky Cat First Edition and we’ve had real success in terms of sales and network growth, despite the challenging market conditions. At this point, it feels right to commemorate a year of successful operations with something that we know customers will really appreciate. Our First Edition+ special edition model further enhances the fun and excitement of ORA Funky Cat, with even more features and specifications. This limited-edition model provides a taster of what is to come, fostering real anticipation for the full model range launch next year.”
