From what I can tell, this concept car has never been made, but is simply altered photos of a Chevy Impala that WM Motors is using to attempt to drum up capital. WM Motors doesn't have an article on Wikipedia, and they don't appear to be notable, and this non-existent car appears less notable than the company that doesn't make it. The following is typical of what I found about this car and/or the company:
- Jalopnik article about the company denying that it photoshopped a Mitsubishi in its renderings for an electric vehicle.
- French article featuring pictures of the car in question, and noting that the company doesn't have a factory, but that it wants to build electric cars and release them by 2018 although it hasn't built any prototypes yet and these are computer generated artwork.
- discussion forum making fun of the car that is the subject of the article.
- WM Motors's page about the car.
So since Jalopnik isn't generally considered a reliable source, and discussion forums never are, the only thing resembling an RS I found is maybe the French article, and it's about the company, not the car. ~ ONUnicorn( Talk| Contribs) problem solving 20:52, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

- Delete No in-depth coverage of this car in independent RS. Does not meet GNG. Note that the electric car company mentioned above is a Shangihai China based company that is different than the American WM Motor associated with this car, although the American WM Motors sells the Saleen brand in China. Saleen has an article, but neither WM Motors does. The WM Motors hoping to make electric cars in China, clearly will someday if it is successful. But not this concept car. MB 02:05, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
