Qingdao Auto Show: SOAR Automotive at it again!


SOAR Automotive are a small custom coachbuilder out in the suburbs of Qingdao that make some ghastly interesting vehicles. The below vehicle is a Rolls Royce Phantom (?) like wedding car that they’ve knocked up. Interesting points include the RR grill (where did they source that from?) and the rather large wood work screws they were using to hold the hub caps into place. Other interesting points would be the body; its actually fiberglass. The paint job was not equally applied, and appeared to be unequal in certain areas.

The interior seats looked pretty well made, the woodwork on the dash, although fake, did look pretty good too. The steering wheel wood work was a bit cheap looking.

    That’s pretty cool; RR rip for sure, but I could see them branching out and making some really crazy cars. That Brilliance-based car they showed, while kinda, er, odd, shows potential! Reminds me of those Japanese tuners. Just drop in the FAW V8 please.. ! Or at least the Roewe 1.8…please no crappy, ancient Mitsu engines.
