This Hongqi is an unusual combination between Rolls-Royce, Cadillac and Ford

Chinese manufacturer Hongqi presented its new model, L1. This is perhaps the most amazing sedan of this time.

If you think a luxury car, you probably remember legendary manufacturers such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini. However, there are also companies specializing in high-end products that are still not well known in Europe. In China, it is Hongqi which has occupied this part since the 1950s.
Founded in 1958, Hongqi is one of the oldest companies in the Chinese automobile market. Initially, it distinguished itself by creating cars specifically for members of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government. After facing a period of decline, it was finally revived and now offers new cars, sometimes with rather unusual styling.

Hongqi’s new design may have been inspired by Rolls-Royce’s designs

Hongqi will launch a brand new car with stunning styling, for L1. In the world of cars in China, this is a real UFO. The Chinese luxury manufacturer is actually offering a supercharged sedan with a hybrid between a V6 and V8 engine. As for the design, it seems to be heavily inspired by certain European luxury brands, especially Rolls-Royce.
The front of the Hongqi L1 is very large, which is reminiscent of the style of these English cars. To be honest, this is not the first model from this Chinese brand that has grille as set. Before it, H9, L5, HS7 and HS5 also presented a big front. It has become a Hongqi hallmark, although it was probably inspired by Rolls-Royce.
The resemblance to Rolls Royce does not end there. The entire body of the L1 more or less resembles the design of this prestigious British brand. However, Hongqi has provided enhancements that are also seen from other foreign car models. What stands out is design to say the least amazing and interesting.

A wonderful combination between Cadillac, Rolls-Royce and Ford

If the front of the L1 resembles that of a Rolls-Royce, its headlights are similar to those fitted to the Ford Scorpio. This American model, however, was less successful due to its style, which was considered questionable. THE unusual design from the front of the L1 continues with a lower grille painted in black and decorated with silver geometric patterns.
Other Hongqi L1 sports an elegant appearance similar to Rolls Royce cars, but also luxury sedans. Cadillac. The back of the Chinese car is similar to these American models. In short, what emerges is a perfect mix between Rolls-Royce, Cadillac and Ford, all with Hongqi’s unique design.
Regarding performance, L1 exhibits 389 horsepower. The highest option is provided by a continuous motor 484 horsepower. No official launch date has been announced yet.
