Sure looks like one...

Very nice sightings! Peking is a huge economy so some exotics has to be there somewhere, which has been proven!

CSi has more power, i think S stands for sport or something like that :wink:

The hartage M5 looks really great and the e46 M3 too :P

Good pics, thanks 8)

- Good thing the Hummer H1 doens't need petrol, but diesel :P
- The Maserati is a Ghibli
- The Abt TT-R will top out at 254km/h, quite a bit away from 300km/h
- About the 850Ci vs 850CSi: to start of the Ci has the M73 B54 engine with 5379cc, 326hp and 490Nm, whereas the CSi has the S70 B56 engine with 5576cc, 380hp and 550Nm. The Ci could only be had with an automatic gearbox, the CSi only comes as a manual. The CSi is in fact a detuned M8, that never made it into production. On the German licensepapers it's still called an M8:

So seeing a regular 850Ci is a whole lot less special. ;)
- About the G-Class Grand Edition:

Quote:

STUTTGART, Germany — Lucky European customers — at least those with lots of money — will soon be able to order a new Grand Edition of the classic Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen, or the G-Class, as it is now known.

Produced in Graz, Austria, since 1979 with few major stylistic changes, the latest version of the G-wagen features permanent four-wheel drive, electronic stability and traction control, and three differential locks that can be selected by push button.

The new Grand Edition is available only with a long-wheelbase and a V8 engine. Buyers can choose from the G500, with its 296-horsepower gasoline engine, or the G400 CDI, with its 250-hp turbodiesel.

Mercedes has lavished extra attention on the cabin, which is fitted with matte silk wood trim and open-pored, non-embossed leather. Illuminated door sills and brushed aluminum trim strips feature Grand Edition lettering.

The special variant goes on sale in Europe next month and will retail for around $89,000 plus VAT.

thank you guys,i will work hard on it.

Thanks for the pics, some more nice cars from China :D I love them!
BTW, yes, Ferrari had a 348 TB, which is basically a normal berlinetta, with fixed roof

And well done Martijn :good:

i like the merc jeep, dont know why, seems cool...

its hasnt gone to the JW coolboard has it?

Sweet M5 dude! Thanks for the pics.

The top pictures look like they come from a high dollar chop-shop/car theft warehouse. ;)

Folks in the know most of the exotic/luxo cars stolen in Europe and the US are now finding their way to China... who knows... they are afterall the champions of "cheap" bargains and purchases :P

i have to say that your head pic is really rubbish!!!

Thanks for the pictures. . . looks like there is a growing upper class in China.
