Shanghai. September 6, 2007; (Gasgoo.com) –First Automotive Works (FAW) will release a super expensive luxury Hongqi sedan next year, according to a FAW dealer in Beijing.

The super luxury car, priced five million yuan ($662,244) and dubbed as Chinese Bentley, will be primarily used for senior level Chinese government officials and visiting foreign dignitaries.

The car has retained many traditional features of previous Hongqi sedans, while borrowing modern luxury designs and technologies from world top level luxury cars. In many aspects, it can compete with Bentley and Wilhelm Maybach.

The super luxury car will be sold in a limited number in Chinese market in the third quarter next year. The car will not be sold through FAW sales channels; instead, it will be sold directly from its manufacturer.

Thats too expensive and not in line with communist doctrine !
Is this a copy of any Rolls Royce's model ?
So far I haven't heard anyone calling this a copy of anything.

this is hongqi, this is not copy of bentley
The rear 3/4 of the car are very similar to a Bentley/ Rolls Royce. The grill is a blantent attempt to ape Rolls Royce. Frankly I just wonder why Chinese car makers can't come up with something original.
