Fast, bulletproof, and it beat the F430
-
Chery Automobile is perhaps the most famous export from Anhui province, well besides everyone's favourite Ayi of course.
Not being content with constructing fine automobiles that are capable of outperforming a Ferrari F430 on Shanghai's Tianma circuit, Chery Automobile has announced a joint-venture with Uruguay-based armoured car company, Bognor Automotive Manufacture and Assembly, to produce a bullet-proof version of their mid-range Eastar sedan here in China.
Fan Shiwei, the Chery official in charge of the project, said in a statement:
Bullet-proof cars are a new growth area. There are no makers of bulletproof cars in China now, and this means Chery has once again broken new ground...
There were no details of production numbers or targeted countries for export, by the way.
Chery is probably most famous for its tiny QQ hatchback. In 2006, Chery appears to have shrugged off allegations of blatant re-engineering and became China's seventh largest automaker, and fourth largest producer of sedans with sales of 302,500 vehicles. In January this year, Chery sold 37,207 vehicles, second only to the 40,570 units sold by Shanghai General Motors. Chery also recently announced JV plans with American Daimler Chrysler to produce a small-car for the US market.

Agreed.
Obviously staged or crap of a Ferrari driver -
that was very lamed, haha F430 can lose to a china car..? how can that be, the whole thing staged up one de la, so fake..
-
Haha..my guess would be the driver of the Ferrari F430 didn't dare to use the full potential of the F430..he's afraid he might crash it or what..but what has the guy driving the Chery got to lose? LOL..it's just trash..so he might as well jsut thrash it at the track..
-
that video is funny.............
time to concentrate.........right.................. -
actually i also find it very unbelievable.. haha... publicity act?
-
you sure that's a ferarri and not some chinese carbon copy fitted with a SOHC 6cyl engine?
-
Now I have seen everything... the ferrari was all over the place!!! The driver obviously does not know the racing line!
-
I 100% says this video clip is bullsh1t.
The speed for the corners are only about 60-80.
Look at how that ferrari does the takes the apex. Totally out. Totally newb for straight roads run only.
When coming to straight road, see how the ferrari burst out leading. It shows that the driver only knows how to floor on straight roads and do not know how to take corners.
The driver for that ferrari is a major disgrace to all ferrari owners.
SOCH engine trying to win a V engine.. come on.. even use a 230jm nissan V6 or markx or legacy n/a oso can win that china car anytime.
Ask that china car to come SG let him have a taste of the rx300 and beemers drivers... majority of them can take that china car out anytime.
Even tofu suzuki dohc engine car can overtake him anytime.
-
the driver of the ferrari noob la.... his lines all wrong de...
-
make sure its "flaming proof" also...(*&^%$
-
So called "bullet proof" material might be an imitation from china as well, so expect death from even minor accidents in PRC cars
-
haha staged!!!

The driver of the F430 was pu$$yfooting.
