Spy Shots: Hongqi L7 shows its Back in China

The Hongqi L7 is the short-wheelbase version of the massive Hongqi CA7600L (aka Hongqi L9) state limousine. The L7 will have to compete with the fine offerings from Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Power comes from a 400hp 6.0 V12 engine and price will start around 5 million yuan, or 816.000 USD. Size L7: 5555/2018/1748, wheelbase is 3435. Size L9: 6395/2008/1720, wheelbase is 3800.

The market for this sort of vehicles is always small, but there are quite some businessmen in China who are willing to pay big money for a big Hongqi, not because it is better than a Bentley but because it is Chinese. Some reports in Chinese media indicate the first batch L7 will be reserved for high ranking and big earning officials in state-owned enterprises.
