Published on May 17, 2012 by Tycho de Feyter
Seen at the Worker’s Stadium in Beijing, home of the Beijing Guoan Football Club, the strongest team in the capital. This fine lime-green Citroen C2 is clearly a Guoan fan, it is painted in the team’s colors with a large logo on the ‘carbon fiber’ bonnet. Dedication, we dig.

Bling in Beijing! Seen yesterday evening on a parking lot in front of a kareoke bar, a very shiny Lamborghini Gallardo. The gold was painted, no wrapping here, and it was in fact so shiny I saw it beaming from 200 meters afar.

I love the smell of electric cars in the morning! Here we have a very special electric mini sportscar, seen by reader Lao Wei (thank you!) in southern Beijing.

A Porsche 911 with an Ugly body kit from China
Published on May 15, 2012 by Joey Wang
How to make a fine Porsche 911 very ugly? China has the answer: wrap a foam-based body kit around it, and a weird sorta wing. Foam-based body kits are very popular in China for customizing cheap cars, like Chery’s and such, but this is the first time I’ve seen the stuff applied on a Porsche. Poor car lives in Tianhe District in the great city of Guangzhou.

Published on May 14, 2012 by Joey Wang
A very sleek Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren in matte-black, seen by a reader (thanks!) in downtown Shanghai. The stealthy scheme does the mighty machine many a favor, it is now even more a low flying and extremely dangerous airmachine, ready to kill…
