Rolls-Royce fighter in Chinese market

jeudi 24 avril 2014

It looks like China is now becoming the biggest luxury car market. Not only foreign auto makers, but also the local brands are creating whatever the rich people wants.



There are many detailed information in this article that introduces the HongQi L series sedan. Those V12 sedans are weighting over 7,000 lb, and the exterior style reminds me of what cars are look like back in the 1960s, however the interior is modernized with two touch screen LCDs. IMO the idea is borrowed from the Tesla Model S.



The MSRP of the L5 is similar to the Rolls-Royce Ghost in China.




Quote:








If you want to purchase a L5, it is completely custom-made. The base price is RMB 5,000,000, you can add any options or made any alternations you want, then you need to pay those costs on top of the 5 million RMB. FAW even send the engineering team on-site at the 2014 Beijing auto show, so people can ask them problems which are very technical.



Now let’s come back to the technical part. The major differences among L5/7/9 is the wheelbase. The L5 has a wheelbase of 135.2 inches, the L7 has 141.7 in, and the longest L9 is 153.5 inches.



Besides small cosmetics variation among these three models, one notable mechanical difference is the L9 is using a live-axle rear suspension, while the L5 and L7 are using the multi-link independent rear suspension.
