The article discusses the Yangwang U8 SUV, which is the most expensive mass-produced Chinese car ever built. Priced at £120,000, it features a range-extender powertrain with four electric motors and a petrol engine acting as a generator. Despite its impressive on-paper performance, the U8 feels slower than expected due to its heavy weight. The SUV also has a tank-turn function and a luxurious cabin. However, the article suggests that the UK market may not be ready for a car of this size and weight. [Extracted from the article]
