Forthing S7 specs: the only version on the sheet
Gearbox on AT is Automatic with 1 speed. Drive is RWD. There is no FWD or AWD row to compare, so the extra axle some buyers look for is not in this catalogue line.
AT is a Electro powertrain on Electro fuel. Rated output is 218 hp (160 kW). Peak torque is 316 Nm. Displacement is not measured. Cylinder count is not measured. Cylinder layout is not measured. Boost is not measured. Engine position is not measured. Fuel system is not measured. Compression ratio is not measured. Bore and stroke are not measured.

Kerb weight is 1805 kg. Gross weight is 2105 kg. That gap is 300 kg of payload (2105 − 1805). Ground clearance is not measured. Wheel sizes are not measured. Tank capacity is not measured. Front suspension is Independent, spring. Rear suspension is Independent, spring. Front brakes are Ventilated disc. Rear brakes are Disc.
CO2 is 0. Eco class is not measured.
If you came looking for a petrol or diesel AT twin, this sheet does not list one. The buy decision is AT or a different model, not AT versus another Forthing S7 badge.
Generations: what 1 generation actually offers
1 generation (from 2024-09-01, still listed as current) is a Liftback with 1 modification. Restyling is not listed, so there is no facelift trim to pick over a pre-facelift car. Year-to-year mechanical change is also not in the data: one start date, one version name, one set of figures.
That is the generation comparison in full. There is no 2nd generation with more hp, a different drive, or a lighter kerb. Arithmetic between generations is not possible because a second generation is not present.
Engine and gearbox table (AT only)
| Version | hp | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Speeds | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | 218 | 316 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | 1 | RWD |
Power-to-displacement (hp per litre) is not measured: there is no litre figure to divide 218 by. Do not treat AT as a “small” or “large” motor in catalogue terms; the volume field is empty.
What you can compute without leaving the sheet:
- 218 hp versus 160 kW is the same AT motor stated two ways, not two tunes.
- Torque is 316 Nm with rpm not measured, so you cannot rank “where in the rev range” this sits against another tune.
- 1-speed Automatic plus RWD is the whole transmission story. There is no 2-speed or multi-ratio AT to buy for a different launch feel.
Performance, mpg, and 0-100: what AT actually posts
AT 0-100 is 6.67 s. Top speed is 165. City consumption is not measured. Highway consumption is not measured. Combined consumption is not measured. MPG in any cycle is therefore not measured — absence here is not “zero fuel use in city/highway tables”; those fields were not filled.
What you can still use for a buy/no-buy:
- 6.67 s to 100 is the only sprint number. You cannot pick a quicker Forthing S7 because a second time is not listed.
- 165 is the only top speed. There is no higher-limited AT.
- Weight per horsepower on kerb mass: 1805 / 218 ≈ 8.28 kg per hp. That is the load the 218 hp figure is carrying at 1805 kg.
- Torque per tonne on kerb mass: 316 / 1.805 ≈ 175.1 Nm per tonne. Same AT, same 316 Nm, same 1805 kg.
- At gross mass 2105 kg, weight per hp becomes 2105 / 218 ≈ 9.66 kg per hp, and torque per tonne becomes 316 / 2.105 ≈ 150.1 Nm per tonne. The extra 300 kg of allowed mass is the difference between those two ratios. If your use is close to gross, AT is the slower of its own two mass states — still the only version.
Reliability and “common problems” are not measured in this dataset. Do not infer a fault list from the powertrain type label.
Dimensions, weight, and what the extra 300 kg is for
Ground clearance is not measured, so you cannot choose AT for ride height versus another S7. Wheel size is not measured, so you cannot choose a larger-wheel AT. Tank is not measured.
The measured mass pair is the useful buying filter:
- Empty-ish catalogue car: 1805 kg kerb.
- Maximum: 2105 kg gross.
- Headroom: 300 kg (people, cargo, extras). That 300 kg is 300 / 1805 ≈ 16.6% of kerb, and 300 / 2105 ≈ 14.3% of gross.
If 300 kg is not enough for how you load a Liftback, this sheet has no heavier-duty AT. If you wanted a lighter S7, there is no sub-1805 kg version.
Brakes and springs do not split by trim: every AT in the data is Independent, spring front and rear, Ventilated disc front, Disc rear. You are not paying (in spec terms) for a sport brake pack versus a base pack — those packs are not listed.
Which version to choose
There is one named answer: AT.
Buy AT if these measured figures are the ones you want:
- 218 hp / 160 kW and 316 Nm
- Automatic, 1 speed
- RWD
- Electro fuel, Electro engine type, CO2 0
- 6.67 s 0-100 and 165 top speed
- Liftback, 1 generation from 2024-09-01
- 1805 kg kerb, 2105 kg gross (300 kg payload)
Do not buy this catalogue line if you need something the sheet does not contain: a second generation, a second named version, AWD, a multi-speed gearbox, a measured displacement, measured mpg, measured ground clearance, measured wheels, or a measured tank. Those are not measured or not present, not “optional extras on another AT”.
Comparison that would normally decide “the extra money” is empty here: there is no higher-hp AT and no cheaper lower-hp AT. You cannot calculate “what 20 extra hp costs” because 218 is the only output. You cannot calculate “what a later generation changed” because 1 generation is the only generation.
If two listings both say AT, treat them as the same mechanical row in this database unless a listing invents a number this sheet does not have. Same name, same 218 hp, same 316 Nm — unlike models where two “3.3 AT” rows differ by power, Forthing S7 does not split AT by horsepower.
AT is the Forthing S7 you can specify from these facts. Every other “version” question on this model is a question the data does not answer.
