\n

With today’s opening of the Beijing International Automotive Exposition we have a bunch of new luxury-driven supercars . The first of these is an immaculately detailed Mercedes-Benz Concept Shooting Break<\/a>. It continues a tradition of shooting brakes<\/a> we have been assembling on Supercars.net for sometime.<\/p>\n

BMW are also jumping on the luxury coupe bandwagon with their Concept Gran Coupe<\/a>, a sleek black 4-door that was revealed during a new design night. Not missing out, Audi are taking the opportunity to launch the A8 L in top specification<\/a> with a 500 bhp W12. These, along with updates for both the Volkswagen Phaeton and Maybach line are competing for an increasing market of Chinese sophistication.<\/p>\n

Both Lamborghini and Ferrari are better represented in Beijing than they were at most American events so far this year. This show marks the international debut of the 599 GTO<\/a> and Lamborghini has a new (wait for it) Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce China Limited Edition<\/a>. Despite the elaborate name, it’s not much more than a new stripe that symbolizes ”the strength of an erupting volcano”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
