FAW to launch all-new Hongqi limo HQE in 2009.
February 6, 2009
FAW Car Co., Ltd is set to release its all-new Hongqing limousine HQE model later this year to restore the time-honored "Red Flag" (Hongqi) brand to its former glory, said 163.com today. The HQE limo will be also sold through the integrated network of the FAW Besturn.
After launching its premium sedan model HQ Shengshi ("Days of Prosperity") last year, FAW Car will roll out more luxury models of the Hongqi series to boost FAW's strategic own-brand development. Reportedly, the royal "Red Flag" HQE limousine has been designated at the VIP car for Chinese president's inspection of the military parade on October 1, 2009, the National Day to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
FAW will launch its new V12 engine this year. The company claimed to have created this engine independently, and said the engine will equip the future Hongqi HQE limo. The first V12 engine from FAW was developed by Chinese engineers. With a capacity of 6.0 liters, the V12 was given the code name CA12VG, with its maximum power to reach at least 400 HP.
The officials at FAW want to make this expensive model a true competitor for Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley. This can also be easily seen from the model's design, which was shown as a concept a few years ago. The HQE will be the most expensive Hongqi ever to be produced by the company. Mass production will begin in late 2009.
Hongqi (Red Flag) was the home-grown premium sedan brand for senior Chinese leaders in the 1950s-1980s. FAW Car Co has changed the first new Hongqi model's name from Hongqi HQ3 to Shengshi and said that in the future the car will target private car segment instead of high-end corporate and governmental buyers.

Hongqi Limo remake
From China Car Times.
The Hong Qi soft top limo is a fairly iconic car to all Chinese, both in China and out of China. The first Hong Qi was actually named a Dongfeng and based off an earlier Soviet design that Moscow had passed onto Mao to ride into town on for his first big day in Beijing on October 1st 1949. The later Hong Qi’s were actually based off American cars, the first one being the CA72 model which was riding on a Chrysler 300 platform, later models were a mixture of Audi 100’s and Lincoln Town Cars. But for China’s big 60th birthday celebration, Hong Qi is planning to go back to its 1949 roots and has produced a wonderful beast from which Chairman Hu Jintao will inspect his troops.
Its unclear what platform the above Hong Qi might be riding on, its more than likely to be its own special platform, and will have FAW’s domestically designed and produced V12 engine in it. The above Hong Qi is also most likely to be a road worthy version of the concept car that we saw a few years ago in 2006.

Hongqi presented three cars in its L-Series at Auto Shanghai 2013. The L9 and its short-wheelbase version L7 are derived from the Hongqi flagship, the HQE ceremonial car. Main engine option is FAW’s 6.0L V12 engine. The L9 sits on a 3900mm wheelbase, while the L7 has a shorter wheelbase of 3435mm. L5 is the shortest of all three cars and will probably be powered by V8.
