About China's Coolest Cars
An always cool Suzuki Alto Happy Prince, seen in a Beijing hutong back in 2011. The good Alto was in a great shape and looked like it was recently washed. Well, I hope it wasn’t washed too hot because the Alto was a very small car to begin with.

A pink BMW 320 Li, seen in China in October 2015. The BMW was wrapped from heat to toe in a shiny pink wrap, giving lots of color to the gray surroundings. The wrap was properly applied and covered the door handles and mirrors. The chrome trim was left as it was, making for a nice contrast with the pink body and darkened windows.
A very pretty McLaren 650S 3.8T Coupe, seen in the Sanlitun area in Beijing in 2022 by Friend of the Site Joachim, thank you for the picture! The good McLaren is wrapped, from head to toe, in a pink wrap, and further sexed up with darkened windows and black alloy wheels. The wrap appears to be of top quality and contrasts nicely with the black bits.
There are Hello Kitty ears on the roof and a bunch of stuffed animals on the dash top, including a panda. And check the hand on the wheel, that’s a little lady driving! No surprise, really, considering the car’s color and details.
The McLaren 650S super car was made from 2014 until 2017. It was powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8 liter V8 engine with an output of 650 hp and 678 Nm. The motor was mated to a 7-speed DCT, sending horses to the rear wheels. Top speed is 333 kilometers per hour and 0-100 takes only three pink seconds. Price in China (2014) started at 3.75 million yuan. A wrap of this quality costs at least another 10.000. Well, if it makes her happy…
A pink Mercedes-Benz C260 sedan, seen at a car shop in north Beijing in 2016. The Merc’ was wrapped in a shiny pink wrap, sucking all the sun out of that chilly spring day. The car was further sexed up with a black grille, darkened light visors, darkened windows, and shiny chrome mirrors.

A Tesla Model S, seen at a Tesla charging station in Beijing in January 2019 by Lao Wei, thank you for the picture! The Model S was wrapped in a matte pink rosé wrap, and further dressed up with darkened rear windows, dark headlight visors, and dark black wheels. Inside sits a female with a yellow cap on her head, it seems she is looking at her phone.
The wrap seems high quality and it is neatly wrapped around the whole car, leaving only the window frames and the door handles. Like in the rest of the world, Tesla only offers a very limited number of colors for their cars in China. Wraps are cheap so many Tesla’s get the wrapping treatment.
Current price of the Tesla Model S in 2019 started at 722.800 yuan, which was, and still is, very steep. The Model S never really took off in China but the X became quite popular. But Tesla sales really took off with the Tesla Model 3, and later on with the China-made Model 3.
A Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, seen in the Lido area in Beijing in 2015. The sporty Benz was wrapped in a pink wrap and further dressed up with darkened windows and neat matte gray 7-spoke wheels.
