Hongqi HQE (红旗HQE) may be the most expensive limousine you have never heard of, but some of you might have caught a glimpse of it during China’s extravagant 60th anniversary parade earlier this month. China’s First Automobile Works is set to produce a Rolls Royce Phantom based “civilian” adaptation in limited runs similar to the one President Hu rode in, while reviewing the thousands of Chinese robotic troops.
Despite being a “civilian” version as what First Automobile Works would like to call it, clearly, with a staggering price tag of ¥8 million (RM 4 million), this ride was not created with peasants like us in mind. Even with its ridiculous price tag (Rolls Royce Phantom costing half its price), First Automobile Works is confident of selling a number of these limousines in China with the support of the ever increasing population of billionaires in China.
And as for the rest of the hard working peasants, enjoy the different iterations of the Hongqi limousines over the years in the gallery below.
