Anyone for a Yangwang ?

This Chinese Luxury Hybrid SUV Combines a Tank, a Bentley, and a Boat
Meet the tank-turning, 4-ton Yangwang U8 from BYD. It's the world’s most powerful SUV—and yes, it floats on water.

Sorry about that - it's from Apple News - I thought the link created a sharable / readable version

Yangwang sounds like something that is offered by certain ladies in Thailand

And here… sounds like they haven’t got the engine /mechanics right, although doing well on luxury
and toys.

And 3.6 mt! Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

He who dies with the most toys wins...

I like the fact that it can do what is called, in the tank world, a neutral turn. (on the spot 180 degree turnaround)

Trouble is you need a new set of tires afterwards as they will have been scrubbed off by the end!

and at £123,000 I think I would rather be in a FFRR. Can you imagine the laughter if you turned up at a shoot or posh do in that thing?

Thanks for the links Bill! Much appreciated Thumbs Up

That thing is awesome, would love to have a play in one of those! "What's your wading depth?" ---> Answer "Unlimited!"

But, can't see too many of those for sale over here, looks like the fact it's over 3.5T is the killer for drivers without that credential on their driving licence. Certainly, a toe in the water by the manufacturer with the 4 vehicles they've sent over!

Scotland 2012 Range Rover Westminster TDV8 Fuji White

You may well laugh, but these will outsell FFRR 10 to 1, they say they've sold over 5000 already and considering import duty on cars can run to 200% you can see why.

Only those that covet the badge will spend out the fortune that a FFRR cost in Beijing, about £250,000 and then you have to get a permit to actually buy it and register it.

For those with limited brain cells, thats 23MY Range Rover 4.4 SV LWB, with an MSRP of RMB 3,328,000 or £369,777 + whatever taxes & registration depending on what part of China. Fuji White / Jet 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster

Just for Grumpy Penguin, prices have gone up sad to say (considerably), Maggie's still the place to hang out, best Hot Dogs in Beijing amongst other things. Fuji White / Jet 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster

I should imagine it's more like "fifty dolla" now.

Anyone remember the name of the film that quote came from ?
