Mullen Automotive has been granted the North and South American IP and distribution rights from Qiantu Motors and affiliated companies as part of a license agreement allowing assembly and distribution of the DragonFLY K50 in the Americas.

Mullen says it will begin its program to re-engineer and re-design the product to meet homologation requirements for U.S. certification and customer expectations for today’s supercars, renaming the project to “Mullen GT” and “Mullen GTRS.” These modifications will be in line with Mullen’s vehicle design language currently found in the Mullen Five and Mullen Five RS, the company says.

The vehicle also will feature an updated powertrain, targeting sub 2.0 sec 0-60 mph and a top speed exceeding 200 mph, Mullen says.
