Why the different names?
Chinese brands often sell one car under several badges: a Chinese name at home (路特斯Emeya(繁花), Lùtèsī Emeya (Fánhuā)) and one or more export names abroad. Renames happen to avoid trademark conflicts, to fit a global naming system, or because the domestic name does not translate well.
Electric hyper-GT; the Chinese badge '繁花' (Fánhuā, 'blossom') is dropped for export.
