Auto Shanghai 2023 - while the show is on, the concepts are already rolling off the factory lines and you can buy them

The 2023 Shanghai Auto Show was not just a showcase for the achievements of the global automotive industry. The undisputed dominance of Chinese developers, surprising with thousands of new products, has now become obvious to all skeptics. And the main trump card at this show was hypercars from China.

Moreover, these are not the one-off concepts that European and American brands have previously spoiled their fans with. These cars are going into production, and anyone can buy them, of course, if the person who wants to has a certain amount of money. We were unable to personally visit the exhibition halls of the auto show, which occupy more than one hectare. But thanks to Sergey Gilevich, who specializes in importing cars from China to Russia, we had such an opportunity. The author kindly provided us with his detailed video review of the most outstanding auto show of the year.

What's not there! The premium U8 SUV, priced at $162, with 1200 hp engines, makes even the top-end versions of the Rover from Solihull (England) pale in comparison. And you can already order the car — the plant has launched all the assembly lines! Expensive? Well, we're in Shanghai — they thought about all car enthusiasts, not just the fat cats. The Hyper ZT electric car with front Lambo doors, an analogue of a top sports car, can be purchased for only 330000 yuan — 3,9 million rubles. But if you need a car with simpler doors and not so dynamic, there is plenty of choice. The electric city mini-crossover will cost only 650000 rubles. And there are also Chinese cars that have already received the best (!) safety scores from Euro NCAP. Watch the tour to the end and it is quite possible that this is where you will find the car of your dreams. Well, becoming its happy owner is just a matter of technique.
