With a population in excess of 1.3 billion and a booming economy, something tells us that Audi won't have much of a problem finding 80 buyers interested in its limited run R8 China Edition that was built exclusively for the country featured in its name.
In what will likely sound odd to the ears of Westerners, the cars will be numbered from 1 to 99, and that's because Chinese consider 4 an unlucky number, so Audi decided to eliminate it.
"To respect the cultural habit of Chinese customers, all numbers with 4 are removed from the serial numbers 1-99," the carmaker said in its press blurb.
The China Edition is based off the pre-facelift R8 V10 borrowing exterior and interior elements from the friskier GT, such as the front bumper winglets, alloy wheel designs, the carbon fiber mirrors, rear wing and the part leather, part Alcantara interior with carbon fiber trimmings.
Power is provided by a 5.2-liter V10 FSI engine rated for 511hp (518PS) and 530Nm (391 lb-ft) that takes the R8 China Edition to 100km/h (62mph) from standstill in 3.9 seconds.
Shit load of products tailormade for China, if u pay attention to cell phones every company is tapping this market with china only tag. Previously they had those dragon edittion this and that,it was a massive marketing failure as no Chinese like a stupid dragon on their stuff. Lol
Ironic how China made 'China-edition' LV, Gucci, Prada bags and now car companies are making legit China edition
Those designer bags you mentioned are partly made in China. The Fashion House then ship it back to Europe and do some final work on it and label it Made in Italy, Made in Paris etc...

theyre also made by chinese workers in italy; thats why i normally only buy luxury items when they're on sale + a discount code, normally
why are the higher end auto companies all of a sudden nut-hugging the ultra-wealthy in china?
I don't recall a similar treatment to the same demographics in middle east
I'm sure the percentage of the super rich in middle east isn't that much smaller than china's...and status symbol must be fairly important too

Cars gunna run on 5 wheels with gear five matching gear ratios with gear 4 so that they dun't have to ever enter gear 4 while also sporting a moonroof to offset the 4 pieces of glass.
