Hongqi H9 In-Depth Video Showcases China’s S-Class Rival
Let’s take a look. It’s no surprise that those who want to travel in a blanket of opulence and luxury are a bit spoiled for choice. With a market that’s often saturated with offerings from Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, and even BMW, most prospective buyers have likely never heard of Hongqi . As such, Wheelsboy recently covered the latest offering from the Chinese automaker, the H9. While the Hongqi brand has gone largely unnoticed until recently, keen readers will likely know about the L5 – previously covered by Jeremy Clarkson in an episode of The Grand Tour.

Glickenhaus satisfied with maiden hypercar test
The American manufacturer expressed satisfaction with the run on Thursday and Friday with Romain Dumas and Franck Mailleux driving the Pipo-engined 007 LMH FIA World Endurance Championship contender. Marque boss Jim Glickenhaus revealed that the focus on the first day was on calibrating the car's electronics before extended running began on day two. "On the first day we had to work out the software, which was complicated because with COVID neither the guys from Bosch nor Xtrac [respectively responsible for the car's electronics and gearbox] could travel and we had to establish remote data lines," he told Motorsport.com. "But on Friday we just kept lapping, lapping and lapping. Romain told me and he has been involved with bigger manufacturers than us who couldn't do four laps in two days." Glickenhaus believes that the team "learned a lot" over the course of the test. "We only did 20 laps on the first day, but we completed around about 100 on day two," he said. "We … [Read more...] about Glickenhaus satisfied with maiden hypercar test
