A Visit to Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao International Auto Show
The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao International Auto Show held recently was quite impressive, as it was the largest exhibition in the first half of this year. Many vehicles made their debut or were officially launched. I went to see the GT50 which has a unique color scheme in its Chinese version. From the appearance, it seems that the model has been modified according to the mid-term update. The grille has a larger area than before, and it is equipped with a 3.0-liter straight-six engine, reaching a speed of 100 km/h from 0 in 4.9 seconds. Additionally, it is also equipped with a 48-volt mild hybrid system. Will pure fuel vehicles disappear in the future?
The new energy exhibition hall also had a big surprise. The RisingAuto showcased its new flagship R7, which was my first time seeing it in person. At first, I wasn’t attracted to it when I saw pictures online, but the actual car was unexpectedly good-looking. The whole car has a forward-looking posture with a strong sports atmosphere. The dual-motor version can reach a speed of 100 km/h from 0 in 4.4 seconds. Moreover, it is equipped with a one-piece three-screen system, AR-HUD, Luminar radar, Qualcomm 8155, and many other top-notch hardware. I won’t list them all here, but those who are interested can check it out for themselves. From an intelligent perspective, the hardware configuration can be said to be at its maximum level. Unfortunately, the interior has not been opened for experience yet. I plan to go and have a test drive when it is available.
