April 6 (Reuters) - Chinese autoparts maker Wonder Auto Technology Inc WATG.O raised its first-quarter revenue outlook due to better-than-expected sales, sending its shares up as much as 13 percent.

Wonder Auto, whose products include alternators, starters, engine valves and tappets, also said it expects net income to exceed $7.3 million.

The company expects first-quarter revenue in excess of $63 million, up from its prior estimates of revenue of about $58 million.

Analysts on average were expecting earnings of 19 cents a share, before special items, on revenue of $58.6 million according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Shares of the company were trading up about 11 percent at $12.07 Tuesday morning on Nasdaq. They touched a high of $12.29 earlier in the session. (Reporting by Divya Sharma in Bangalore; Editing by Don Sebastian)
