Here's a break of the pattern – after the dragon encrusted Ferrari 458 and the “Dragon” Wrangler we finally arrive to a Chinese design concept that does not draw inspiration from the dragon breathing mythical creature. It's the Chrysler 300 Ruyi based on the standard 300C which is also there at the stand. There's even a Grand Voyager MPV present, all part of the festive return of the Chrysler company to the Chinese market.
Ruyi means “as one wishes” and is usually represented by an object akin to a scepter. It's

Vilner has announced a new tuning program for the rough Land Rover Defender 2, which has been transformed from hard off-roader to luxurious ride suitable for everyday driving.
The interior has been entirely reorganized – 4 individual sport seats upholstered in brown and black, using Nappa and Alcantara.

Since there seems to be a lot of fuss around Lamborghini at the moment, Vrosteiner have cunningly decided to make a reference of their own. They too send us back in time but the LM002-back-in-time-type. It's a tuning program for the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera... sort of. More like wheels for it.
Yes, those two raging bulls down there in the gallery wear the latest shoes from Vorsteiner – 1-piece or 3-piece forged wheels codenamed respectfully VS-110 and VS-310. As if they have been made specifically for t

It would seem that Lamborghini won't be the only company at Beijing to showcase a 600 bhp monstrosity with high ground clearance. Meet London-base Eterniti Motors and their first car ever – The Artemis. They haven't bothered about fitting in so to speak as they have their own category for it – Super-SUV: “Higher levels of luxury, performance and exclusivity” targeted at wealthy car buyers.

What we see here, is evidence that the world has gone SUV-mad. Lamborghini have brought the heavy artillery to the 2012 Beijing Auto Show with the Urus SUV Concept. We say heavy, but actually, the company claims that the Urus will thrash the other fatties from the segment thanks to their ever-improving craftiness with carbon-fiber composites.
So what's at the core of this concept? Some might be surprised but this is not Lamborghini's first venture into the SUV world. It's their second. Back i
