Cars! Cars! Cars!

I like this one better. The Lamborghini Veneno.

I posted this before in this thread. It's a real monster! I heard there seems to be only three in the world, and each costs something like 5 or 6 millions US$! However, is it practical to drive that monster on streets? I don't even see any space for a registration plate!

After driving you can make love to any beautiful woman you picked up in Las Vegas. The prices justifies for that means.

The thread has been sleeping for so long, so here is some new car from BYD (Build Your Dream).

And here is a little review of the car:

By Ronan GlonSaturday, Jan 18th, 2014 @ 11:01 am

China's Build Your Dreams (BYD) has fully detailed the 2014 Qin, a range-topping gasoline-electric plug-in hybrid sedan.

Introduced at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, the Qin is powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that works with an electric motor to send 291 horsepower and 353 lb-ft. of torque to the front wheels. The motor is linked to a lithium-ion battery pack that can be recharged by a regenerative braking system or by plugging the car into a regular household outlet.

BYD promises the Qin sprints from zero to 62 mph in 5.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 115 mph. The car can drive for up to 44 miles on electricity alone and return up to 177 mpg when both power sources are running.

The Qin boasts a high-tech interior with a 12.1-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) screen in lieu of the instrument cluster and a smart key system. The firm's remote driving function, which makes it possible to drive the car at very low speeds with a remote control from up to 33 feet away, is offered as an option.

On sale now across China, the BYD Qin carries a base price of roughly $32,100 before government subsidies are factored in. BYD will reportedly distribute the Qin in select European markets starting early next year, and the sedan could be offered in the United States if the automaker keeps its promise of selling cars on this side of the Pacific by late 2015.

Not a big fan of the Veneno..

I like the Egoista more. not that I can afford either one in my wildest dream LOL...

Lamborghini's designs are so futuristic. That's a cockpit rather than a cabin. However, I'm afraid single seat cars are not so practical for daily use. Veneno is better after all.

I like China and hope it doing everything well. However, I always have to criticize that designs from China look outdated. As netizens said "anything not outdated is not China". I don't know how things are done in China but, so far as I know, cars industries of Japan and S. Korea always employ foreign design in their products. China should learn that. If you want to compete in world market, you must raise your reputation. One way to achieve this is to improve your quality, design and service level. This is always the vital weak point of Chinese products, especially cars.

Edit: In my point of view, The Qin is the first car from BYD that looks modern, others look crap or copied.

I would say it looks more like the 2014 Corolla than the Camry.

I may be wrong but I don't think the folks who buy the veneno uses it to get groceries or pick their kids up from soccer practice.
