A psychedelic BMW Z4, seen close to the Second Ring Road in Beijing. The vehicle is wrapped in matte purple and in yellow.

A very gray day in Beijing suddenly turned very red when this brand new Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe arrived, on a flatbed in the Sanlitun beer area. The monstrous car was on its way to the world’s only AMG-only Mercedes dealer, which is located a few hundred meters away from this location.
Spotted in China: Volkswagen Passta, number 2
Published on May 16, 2013 by Tycho de Feyter
A gray Volkswagen Passta, seen in the great city of Dongguan in Guangdong Province by reader Dave Teo, thank you for the picture! This is the second Volkswagen Passta we meet in China, earlier on we saw another example in Beijing. The Passat-Passta name is glued on the vehicle in individual lettering, it’s not a badge. Chinese factory workers, who mostly can’t read much English, are likely responsible for the fuzzy mix-up.
