FactChina's Hongqi built its flagship sports car not at home but in Italy's Emilia-Romagna, birthplace of Ferrari and Lamborghini.
The Hongqi S9 is a hybrid sports car from FAW Group's Hongqi, shown as a concept at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show to mark 70 years of the People's Republic of China. FAW built it in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region through its Silk-FAW joint venture, with styling led by former Alfa Romeo, SEAT and Audi designer Walter de Silva, and the production car appeared at Auto Shanghai 2021. A 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 works with three electric motors for 1,381 hp. 99 were produced between 2021 and 2023.

The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
