the most super duper supercar wedding in china so far

Carnewschina finally found the reason why supercars are gobbled-up in China with ferocious appetite: Supercar weddings. Getting married and making children is all the rage in China (2 or more children is a special sign of affluence), and don’t you dare showing up by bicycle or taxi if you are invited. You won’t be invited again.

The latest (and it won’t be the last) supercar wedding took place in Huizhou in the very rich Guangdong province, where anything from Samsung flatscreens to Apple iPhones is assembled en masse.

Bride and groom made an appearance in a Bentley Continental Supersport. Guests arrived in four Ferrari 458, three Lamborghini Gallardo, two Porsche Panamera, a Nissan GTR, a Maserati GT MC Stradale, a Rolls Royce Ghost, a Ferrari California, and more. Some of these cars sport the dual China / Hong Kong plates, which are the true sign of affluence.

The Audi R8 was probably driven by the caterer.

And once again, the cure for communist world domination is....living like a Kardashian.

Now, if only 2 or more children, rather than automotive anatomical augmentation devices for blankshooters, would again come to be a status symbol in Japan and The West; maybe those places wouldn't be so dependent on the Chinese keeping their once great economies afloat.

MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
