Spotlight: President Hu Jintao’s official limo

Cameras will be clicking at the Beijing Motor Show. Even the official presidential ride of China never escaped the curious lenses. The FAW limousine in the gallery below is the official ride of President Hu Jintao.

It is a mix of Rolls Royce and Cadillac with doses of futurism and retro combined. It may look strange to some but it can be beautiful to the eyes of others.

Some things in China are decades behind other countries. Some aspects they are behind by at least a century.

You can see the same limo with its ripped off design lines in the video taken during the review of troops by the president of China last October 2009 when they celebrated their 60^th National Day.
