Automakers hankering for a piece of the booming Chinese market brought some of the swankiest wares to the capital city's auto show this week.China is the largest car market in the world, growing fast, and has signaled it’s ready to open up more to outsiders. President Xi Jinping has announced plans to cut stiff import tariffs and to phase out rules requiring foreign automakers to partner with domestic ones if they want to sell cars in the country. At the Auto China Show 2018 in Beijing this past week, automakers hankering for their piece of a booming market demonstrated their enthusiasm. They showed off their most extreme and excessive ideas for luxury and customization, big selling points in a country where the back seat is more important than the driver’s. And they focused on electric propulsion: China has some of the world’s strictest emissions standards and has talked about banning gas- and diesel-powered cars altogether. For a glimpse of this automotive future, we’ve rounded up a selection of the most outrageous and ostentatious cars on display in Beijing.A newcomer to the show might feel like they’ve arrived in a parallel universe, where things are similar but also very different. The brands on display in Beijing include companies that don’t sell overseas—yet—but which are making gorgeous cars. Witness the FAW Hongqi E-Jing GT, a fully bling, all-electric sports coupe with hints of Bentley and Lincoln in the design featuring tiny headlights and huge wheels. The color is called Kansas Green, not after the US state but a lake in northern China. The company says this concept reveals some of the design direction for the 15 new models it plans to release by 2025.
