A gold-colored BYD Flyer, seen in China in 2016. The flyer was in fine shape, the paint was still all right, and the original BYD logo was on the grille. The sporty twin-five-spoke alloy wheels were standard. Before BYD became the world’s largest NEV maker, it didn’t make cars at all. Until 2003, BYD was just a battery maker.

This is a Lamborghini Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster, as seen in the old Volkswagen Group China headquarters in the Sanlitun area in Beijing. The Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster was a limited edition, with only 50 units produced from 2009 until 2010.
On that great hot day in summer, I went to have a look at the local Beijing deal, mystery shopper style. The dealer is located in a large car market area in the far north of the Chinese capital.
