The Irmscher Group was founded almost 60 years ago and is now an internationally operating group of companies. Over the course of its history, the company has converted more than 550,000 vehicles from many well-known manufacturers into special models. In the future, Irmscher and Leapmotor, a Chinese start-up belonging to the Stellantis Group, will collaborate on a long-term basis.
The first result is the Leapmotor i C10, a high-quality AWD SUV with 585 hp, making it the most powerful i SUV series model ever produced – although the i designation has already been used for legendary special models. The first teaser images also give a first impression of the vehicle's appearance.
The Leapmotor i C10, which will be launched later this year, is the manufacturer's new flagship model and will set new technological standards for Leapmotor. The Leapmotor i C10 brings 800-volt technology to Europe for the brand, and the new high-end model will be offered in Germany at market launch with 585 hp and electric all-wheel drive in a limited series of 250 units.
The intelligent dual-motor all-wheel drive, which enables acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds, offers a driving experience that is both safe and exciting.
Further images and technical details will be announced at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025.
"We are very excited about this new top-of-the-range model from our brand, which will be groundbreaking not only in terms of design but also in terms of technology. The i C10 is our response to the growing demand for greater range, faster charging and superior driving dynamics without compromising on comfort or efficiency. By collaborating with Irmscher, a long-established German company, we are continuing on the path we have chosen: we are bringing together the best of both worlds – the speed and technology of a Chinese high-tech start-up and German design and customisation expertise," said Martin Resch, head of Leapmotor Germany.
Günther Irmscher, managing director of Irmscher Automobilbau GmbH & Co.KG, added: "The collaboration we have now launched with Leapmotor as the first Chinese manufacturer is also a
Milestone. We are delighted to be starting this collaboration with this high-quality SUV, and the icing on the cake, of course, is its outstanding performance in addition to its design. We look forward to the journey ahead, which begins with this project.
