Fake Chinese Rolls-Royce went up against the real thing in a suspension test with shocking results

Fake Chinese Rolls-Royce vs the real deal

You might be holding your breath and anticipating a huge cleanup as the Rolls-Royce tribute, the Hongqi, tackles the bumpy suspension test.

However, per the FAST YouTube channel, despite driving at 40km/h (25mph) it breezes through the challenge without spilling a drop.

The stability and comfort demonstrated showed that it ‘can serve as a restaurant on wheels.

The Rolls-Royce mirrors the impeccable performance – but is up to eight times more expensive than the luxury EV.

Next, the ultra-luxurious Bentley drove over the line of speed bumps: chaos ensues.

The Hongqi ‘clearly beats the several times more expensive Bentley’.

Proof, if it were needed, that ‘the progress of Chinese car manufacturing is phenomenal’.

The all-electric Hongqi is equipped with multi-link suspension.

It comes with hydro bushings and air springs by Vicoustic that also adjust the height of the vehicle dynamically for the best charging alignment.

This groundbreaking innovation can also be seen in Chinese BYD’s revolutionary technology via its body-control system.

It provides enough stability to allow the EV to travel on three wheels.

When it comes to the Rolls-Royce Cullinan vs the Bentley Bentayga: which is the best British car?

Time for global competitors to up their game.
