The Hongqi S9 is a wild-looking thing
It shares a designer with the original Audi R8, believe it or not.

It all started with Gran Turismo. From those early PlayStation days, Sean was drawn to anything with four wheels. Prior to joining the Roadshow team, he was a freelance contributor for Motor Authority, The Car Connection and Green Car Reports. As for what's in the garage, Sean owns a 2016 Chevrolet SS, and yes, it has Holden badges.
The Hongqi S9 is a new supercar that came to life in China, for China.
Italy's Silk EV and China's FAW teamed up for a joint venture to create the S9.
It'll be built in Italy and limited to 99 cars.
There's a plug-in hybrid V8 powertrain in the middle of the supercar.
The companies said it makes 1,400 horsepower.
Going from 0-62 should take 1.9 seconds.
The whole idea is to keep building the Hongqi brand locally in China, which once built limos for Mao Zedong.
A supercar isn't a bad way to get attention.
