Hongqi S9

The Hongqi S9 is from the Chinese-US startup Silk-FAW, a joint venture between China's FAW and American company Silk EV. Power comes from a brand new 4.0-liter V8 with electric turbocharging for a total of around 880 horsepower. A pair of electric motors increase that output to 1,400 hp. Hongqi is short on details but claims the car will deliver 0-62 mph in 1.9 seconds and a top speed of over 250 mph. Hongqi is currently accepting orders for the S9 with 99 expected to be built. The first could be delivered as early as 2022.
Price for those smitten is rumoured to be something around $1.9m.
