FAW's D-Class super luxury limousine Hongqi (red flag) HQE will be put into volume production and priced at 8 million yuan, according to the China Youth Daily.

President Hu Jintao rode in the new HQE limo to inspect a military parade across Chang’an Avenue in Beijing on October 1.

The parade car measures 6,400 x 1,720 x 2,080 mm, and loads an almost 4,000 mm-long wheelbase. Featured with the FAW-developed engine CA12GV 6.0L, the Hongqi can reach a maximum of 300kW power and 550Nm torque.

The bullet-proof handmade limo weights 4.5 tons, and it cost FAW 4 million yuan to make.
