Have been saying that pear threatened with extinction, may be on the market, “pear” furniture but more and more. Two years ago, mahogany furniture industry’s well-known brand “Yuan Henry” rescue and introduced pear furniture, and then appeared on the market many of the “pear.”

In fact, the current rescue little feed out of the old pear, the new material is no longer unsustainable. A real classic hardwood furniture, the company has been strict control Huanghua materials can be said to be “cherish wood, such as gold,” is not something that will not use pear fine. Available on the market there are numerous “pear” furniture how was going on? How can the consumers buy the real pear products?

People are aware of the precious pear, but the market, yours for the asking price are significant differences between the “pear” letting people are puzzled. As everyone knows “The pear is also an either-pear.” There are luxury furniture, timber knowledgeable people know that most of rosewood materials are pear, Asian pear, grass and even saffron pears pear is said, but it seems that we hear little about sales staff that my furniture is grass pear’s.

For ordinary consumers, to distinguish timber furniture is a very difficult thing, but the pear, there is a very simple way is to ask their provenance, or origin. Huanghua pear was only found in Hainan, so furniture should be specific to Hainan pear pear. Now the so-called pear on the market are mostly produced in Southeast Asia, incense sticks in the wood, salespeople often showed the grounds that: “The State Redwood standard” in the pear classified under the name of the incense sticks in the wood, so is the pear wood incense sticks in . If the consumer requires that the sales staff in the sales contract stated pear, they would say: Sorry, we click “Redwood National Standards” can only write incense sticks in the wood and so on. But you know, Southeast Asia and incense sticks in the wood and Hainan are significant differences between the value of pear.

Of course, because of different consumer demand, Southeast Asia, incense sticks in the wood is also a very good material, but it is best not to sales staff and consumers, the concept of the game to play. In this regard, Beijing Yuan Henry Co., Ltd., well-known classical hardwood furniture enterprises played a very good exemplary role, they not only clearly-indicated source, and the pear furniture products can be included in the contract, which protect the consumer can rest assured that consumer.

We are talking about rational consumption is consumer spending must get rid of the blindness, in the purchase of product to see more of pear, ask, and even to the enterprise production base to the study.

Also, pear and old material can not be recycled, hoping manufacturing enterprises in terms of materials and processes but also to protect the more rational elements, so that the valuable pear give full play to its proper value.

Little knowledge of Huanghua

1. Yellow rosewood itself is traditional Chinese medicine, there is a Chinese medicine “dalbergia” flavor;

2. Texture hard, clear and beautiful texture, depending on the sense of excellent, with wheat grain, crab claw pattern, texture or implicitly or current, lively and changeable;

3. Have “a face”, “grimace” is from the growth process in the scarring caused by scarring it different from an ordinary tree, no rules, so that people can be called it “a face”, but can not be said to have rosewood There grimace;

4. Like a firefly-like phosphorescence, wood soaking, the water is green.

Chinese traditional furniture, especially the Ming and Qing furniture to art and design, and function to enjoy the perfect combination of a great worldwide influence, but also a lot of success there is taste, culturally the FANS, who not only research-ming Qing furniture appreciation, but also on how the traditional into the modern has a unique view. Well-known writers, designers, entrepreneurs, Hai-Yan is one of the one, he was an avid fan of the pear.

Resume

Haiyan, formerly known as Lu Haiyan, a famous writer, screenwriter and successful entrepreneurs. Haiyan is a culture of self-assessment that he is “first-class designers, second-rate professional managers, third-rate writers, and four writers.” His interior design is very accomplished, Beijing and Shanghai, some hotels are the outcome of his design, such as the Kunlun Hotel Shanghai Restaurant, cigar bar are all from his hand, his design has also received international design master’s praise.

Q & A face to face

Q: As a designer, do you think of traditional Chinese classical furniture, matching with other styles do?

A: Certainly, my home is not only Western-style furniture, Chinese furniture, there are. Chinese classical furniture inclusive particularly strong, especially in a good mahogany furniture, its own unique charm, to where can be the focus, and Huanghuali Ming-style furniture decorated in itself very small, very simple shape. But bearing in mind that the aesthetic, style of Chinese classical furniture is not high even if the package I think it is also very ugly.

Q: Why do you in so many categories in the mahogany furniture, unique love pear it?

A: Actually, I like rosewood furniture, red sandalwood’s and I love it. Rosewood furniture, Chinese history, the development of the peak is the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Ming Dynasty preferences pear, then the preference for red sandalwood in the Qing Dynasty. The pear wood furniture furniture is exquisite, the material itself, it is beautiful, and relatively scarce, has always been a symbol of the elite, especially in Hainan, the pear is currently the highest value of all hardwoods, but also because it has been basically eliminated. Huang rosewood texture patterns, such as Hangyunliushui, different painting, just a little waxing to highlight the beautiful and long-term use can be interlinked with the blending of human nature; pear style furniture, simplicity and convergence, bright lines, back to nature, to give people sufficient imagination space, contemporary design has a huge impact. Pear implicitly not play the beauty of furniture, which is complementary to traditional Chinese culture, its realm is also the pursuit of the Chinese literati.

Q: Now even the Chinese rosewood furniture, bedroom design is very popular fire, comparison, you prefer a traditional Chinese furniture, there are still elements of Chinese modern furniture?

A: I prefer the traditional Chinese furniture, because the alternative is not by looking things, even if at first glance novel, will be getting tired eyes pause. The reason why the traditional things traditional test of time is the biggest guarantee. Moreover, from a traditional Chinese furniture, hardwood furniture, especially the Ming and Qing dynasties, we can see the philosophy of Chinese literati speculation, appreciate the wisdom and Chinese craftsmen, and more able to Ganwudao charm of Chinese classical culture. Began to collect pear pieces of furniture, more and more deeply on this experience.

Q: how to make antique furniture into modern life?

A: very simple is to use, more you use the better, depending on the contact with people and human breath interlinked, it produced a package pulp, just as the same as on the paint. In fact, it is not painting, only packets generated by human pulp friction, of course, in order to protect it can also play two or three times a year wax, usually to be used more you use the better looking. In addition, I think the pear furniture, look at is its pattern, avoid playing a lot of mess in the above things, good furniture should be both available, but also appreciate.

Has a plane no longer a privilege, the United States, the sky has 200,000 private aircraft are free to fly … …

Private jets do a very great? Not necessarily. Large universe, the earth is very small, so in the future there will be a private space vehicle, a private space, villas, outward development is the destiny of mankind, as long as general relativity and gravity to the extent permitted, any dream can be realized.

For most people, a private jet is just a name, they had to call reservations, and then in the time waiting in line at specified location, hundreds of individuals crowded together, was a belt tied and stripped to maintain a fairly uncomfortable position until the landing, during which they have no other things to do, can only the most basic physical activities: eating, sleeping and watching.

A few of the guys bought a private plane blessed. They can kill in heaven playing the game, or play room

Golf, at the same time there are hundreds of millions of people on the ground is also dry the same activity, but Tianrang are different, and everything labeled as “private” name, you have to pay the price a hundredfold.

A380: the world of inorganic

, Held in Moscow air show, there have been Russians eager to buy the U.S. B-52 bombers, but now the sky should be no country would allow it to fly. He can only in his private airport to open it when the vehicle is to go through.

If you love a bit normal, like the Saudi Prince Alwaleed, it will easily from the “Airbus” pulled by an A380. This “the Arab world, Warren. Buffett” on the latest models of private aircraft, fallen in love with Canada, for its custom of “Airbus” the most top-VIP

Renovation program, alias: flying palace. The gorgeous “decoration” to spend about 150 million U.S. dollars, plus the cost of its own A380 “Flying Palace” worth the had risen to 4.5 billion U.S. dollars, today’s top U.S. private jet, “Gulfstream G550″ but it is the price of 1 / 10. Phase the more, the “shop, Causeway Bay, King” Hong Kong Joseph Lau custom Boeing 787 airliner, and Google president of Boeing 767-200 converted a second-hand car, we had a bit shabby.

In accordance with the requirements of Alwaleed, “flying palace” of the keywords is “desert flavor.” The cabin was like a huge Arabian tent surrounded by curtains printed on the yellow sand cast waving effect. Cloning of a desert prince is not difficult for the plane and even the air there is a casino for “wanderer” special program prepared to raise our spirits. Each time the air “adventure,” the 16 crew members on board for the Prince of service, an hour after take-off operating costs 25,000 U.S. dollars.

Multiplied by the big-name big-name

The performance of the aircraft and then fine, if the design of the cabin-take-all labels affixed the world will always let people feel bad on the line. Demonstrate grade Wang, in fact, and fashion designer or co-operation.

Fashion extends to large-scale cross-border portfolio

Luxury is a matter of time, Hermès (Hermès) has set up a Ministry of leather decorated Hermès Gainier, with the helicopter manufacturer Eurocopter to work together. The new brand name of fashion to not work: Helicopter by Hermès. While the TAG luxury private jet – Bom-bardier Global Express or Boeing BBJ – will be with “Versace” the gorgeous descent. If you are willing to come up with about 10 million pounds, Donatella would be her own brand of leather sofas onto your private aircraft; if they are willing to spend 100 million pounds of the price, then the old-fashioned Boeing 747 can be dressed very ” Versace. ” As long as customers are willing to, designers can meet a variety of unconditional love, even if it be strange. But do not forget that the big brands are usually requested to meet prospective buyers may need to be 1 to 4 years before receiving. This is in fact increased the noble sense of private jets.

It is in people under the unlimited desire and imagination, science and fashion this does not take the industry two circles before they close together.

Hedonic Road Green Footprint

Saudi prince a lot of money-burning for the enjoyment of a private plane, the Saudi King was at the OPEC meeting, expressed its willingness to contribute 300 million U.S. dollars for climate protection. Saudi Arabia’s King’s charity, is able to offset the carbon emissions caused by flying prince do?

One has just finished assembling a Boeing 747-8 sailed out of the apron, the totally “green naked uniform” and, at best, only a flying machine. In order to allow the aircraft entered the recycling of retired, “Boeing,” a series of agreements signed by the Recycling Association for a special deal with the aircraft owners retired equipment.

Airbus A380 is no exception, it is known as the “gentle green giant” of the title, and began trying to be more environmentally friendly fuels – liquefied natural gas (GTL). Improved after the operating cost per seat per mile lower than other similar models by 20%. But, ironically is this: Today, it was treated as a small number of people to use a private aircraft, a waste of resources so that the ratio of emissions doubled.

Both “green”, while not reducing the quality of life one way is to buy “carbon offsets.” Its advantage is the cheap: Private aircraft in between Fort Lauderdale and Boston round trip cost about 2 million, while in-flight emitted 13 tons of carbon dioxide offsets only 74 dollars. In the purchase of “carbon offset credits”, they can compare with a clear conscience walk through on their own private jet travel around the world, a big house, or more leisure destinations.

Those 24 hours of private plane as the star of wealthy private cars, and can not really reduce the space for the “carbon footprint.” Even if the sky plane has become more “green”, it was no pleasure for them on the palette can be the color of any deployment of Bale.

At the just-concluded “Beijing CBD car purchases Festival”, the writer saw two revive a feeling of Wiseman sports car parked in Central Place Central Square, according to field sales personnel to disclose the price of these two vehicles are at 420 million per It is this CBD purchasing one of the major highlights of the festival. Weitzman netizens may be more familiar with the brand, then, give the author an opportunity to share with Members on the “Wiseman” and related information.
Weitzman English sports car called the wiesmann, was born in 1993, Martin 1985 – Wiseman and 弗莱德海姆 – Weitzman two brothers during a visit to Essen Motor Show, the whim, produced with the classic look and feel and the modern interior of the new sports car to do it as a vehicle marked lizards, indicating that the sports car with lizards in general grip and steering ability.

Rising oil prices, increased costs, the financial crisis and a series of negative factors are certainly not to each auto companies are adversely affected? Data show that the first three quarters of 2008, the domestic-made cars accounted for more than Qi Cheng passenger car sales rose 11.36 percent, while the contrast is high car sales in the Chinese market but its advance, according to Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW Group’s announcement of the first three quarters of its high-end products increased as much as 50%.

Hao cars outstanding performance

With other levels of models for this dismal performance compared to 2008 cars in the Chinese market was high and bright. Data show that the first three quarters of this year, Mercedes-Benz in China in the first three quarters of total sales of more than 29,000, a record high. Audi sales in the first three quarters to 89715 (with 9899 imported cars), an increase of 19.2%, of which the growth rate of the most fierce Audi Q7, up to 78%, far higher than the Audi’s other markets around the world. BMW’s sales data was not yet known, but the first half of 2008 sales growth in the Chinese market has reached 32.2%, far higher than the 18% of the global incremental.

Similarly, a number of new entrants in this year’s high-car brands have also received impressive results. Entering the Chinese market in 2004 the Italian super sports car Lamborghini sales in the first year, but five, but only the first three quarters of this year has reached 73, as well as recently announced in early 2009 will be officially put into operation in Beijing branch. China has just entered the second year of Honda’s Acura in 2007, based on 1402 sales, this year more than the planned 2,500 units, annual sales targets and then raised to 2800 units, to achieve sales volume doubled.

Multiple factors difficult to drop-ho hot cars

In fact, for auto companies in 2008 are more negative factors: raw material costs, high oil prices and the financial crisis, and for high-emission luxury cars, China has also raised the consumption tax in particular, but in North American, European car sales plummet, Hao at the same time, China’s car market is crazy expansion of high.

As the car’s unique position in the market high oil prices increase, consumption tax increase policies for such owners have not formed yet How do you look great effect. The consumption tax increase in September, the Mercedes-Benz S-class in China, have consistently maintained up to 50% of the average monthly growth rate. Audi is in the September record more than 10,000 historical best. The same concern also Cadillac, although the overall sales volume in 2008 is not ideal, but the new consumption tax after the implementation of the September, Cadillac has ushered in nearly 40% of the chain increases. These clear that the consumption tax to curb China’s high consumption, the role of cars is extremely limited.

In addition, the State Information Center, Information Resources Development Department Director Xu Changming also believe that the automobile consumption in developed countries based on credit, while the Chinese people’s consumption habits of consumers more of the decision, “holding cash at hand car”, and thus low environmental impact of the financial .

In 2009 to face the impact of high consumption of cars

China Hao Chinese car market due to the expansion of the rapid growth of the middle class, while Hao vehicle brands to enter China’s market is increasingly pragmatic attitude can not be ignored. With the increasing influence of the Chinese market, most brands are accelerating the introduction of the latest models in China, such as Porsche’s new 911 Targa in October in the United States after only a month or so has actually landed in the Chinese market. In addition, Audi, BMW developed a long-wheelbase model for China to gain market recognition, the Volvo also introduced to increase the long-wheelbase 140mm wheelbase S80, and will be made next year, public manufacturers for customers in China are also painstaking efforts So.

As for the not too distant in 2009, TAG car manufacturers face of China’s market, the two maintained a cautious attitude and optimism. Parham, general manager of Porsche China Mu said that as the market conditions next year, there are many uncertainties, Porsche added distributor plans to slow down now or later. The Toyota Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. Vice President Zeng Lintang are optimistic that in 2009 the domestic luxury car market is expected to be 5 percentage points growth.

But should be objective to see that the domestic car market as high as the rapid growth of consumption, including excessive irrational factors, China’s wealthy car the one hand, Hyun-rich, there is simply just to play cars. According to the Hurun company data show that the financial turmoil and its share prices plummeted, the average wealth of China’s richest year ago has shrunk 1 / 3. On Wall Street, sluggish economy, the luxury of America’s wealthiest consumers have gradually return to rational, China will face the same test.

Who is the fastest car ho?

High rate of natural fast car, but in 2008 their rate of development has a lot of difference between the number of brands increased by about 50% or more, and some even over 100%, of course, there are the brand declines.

Qianjun easy to get a hard to find

An epic work, carrying nearly a hundred years of inside information; one can people get to meet the full works, it is static and dynamic interpretation of the Apennines between the type of passion and luxury – Quattroporte Executive GT version of .

Our test has never stopped being carried out, into the models that we test all kinds of venues, but our dream is not subject to the fetters of this space and enjoy an absolute heavyweight car works, rather than the whole days around the conventional car and turn around, Qianjun easy to get one would be hard to find – this feeling linger.

In the hot summer dream has become clear, and when I sat in one, “exhorted 咣 啷” and buses will soon dazed and sleepiness in sleep, before receiving a phone call. This experience made me in the next few days to become excited, because the voice of the phone, I was asked to mention whether or interested in taking a Quattroporte Executive GT version of a two-day test drive, which means that I can become in the last 48 hours, the Italian luxury sports car Zheliang temporary owners, I can open it to work and go to the supermarket, of course, you can also open it to test the market … …

Although I have participated in the activities of the Chief Executive of test drive, but the test drive after coming back inside to get enough continued to burn, a thought can be completely owned Zheliang wearing a sports car luxury car coat “up to” 48 hours, I started to adjust their own schedules, so that they have sufficient enough time to get along with the president and the executive GT version – a result that is in and get along with President and Executive GT version, apart from eating and sleeping within two days, almost all the time I was in the car, which directly resulted in the Within two days to spend two weeks on regular motor oil expenses facts. Of course, you have to understand the president of the executive through the literal version of GT is not a fuel-efficient car, in fact, when the BMW 760Li less than 2000rpm rotational speed cruising, at the same speed, the president of the executive GT version, it states in order to 3000rpm rotational speed of response to the above the pursuit of the ultimate dynamic mood, because Maserati is not an unusual brand, president of the car is not an unusual, which is why the cars will be blending reasons.

President is extraordinary, thanks to the Maserati brand, unusual experiences, making the brand has a glamorous spirit.

Although in recent years seem to always hiding in the Ferrari Maserati after light, but we still will not forget as far away as before the birth of Ferrari, Maserati brand began the most glorious road racing. The city of Bologna emblem on the “Trident” implies an unusual soul. Maserati founded the company in 1914, has been keen at an early stage in the world’s top events, and in time more than 30 years won 500 victories in various competitions won 23 championship titles, Trident brand is also the only one twice won the U.S. Grand Prix Indianapolis 500 miles of the Italian brand.

Maserati cars in the past years recorded in history, is nothing less than the Ferrari today, but single-minded pursuit of glory within the paddock Maserati civilian vehicle failed to duck to water. Until 1958, with the famous 3500GT, Maserati really put our energy to the mass production models. In the ensuing 10 years, Our Time, including the Birdcage, Mistral, Ghibli generation of luxury car debut one after another, their most important feature is the best racing performance with Italian-style luxury.

Maserati has now become a pillar of the quattroporte (CEO) cars are also born in that era. Since then, the president and then to four cars in the performance of skin + sports car Maserati has established a repairer of philosophy – sports performance, stress is still luxurious comfort, this is the pursuit of extreme performance, the Ferrari is different. Now president of cars stretching, as always, this philosophy and, in a modern car with the door Ferrari experience for more movement elements.

As a result, we can say that in 1940, Maserati moved to Modena from Bologna seems to indicate that Neptune-like noble brand destined to be the same in the future and the Need for 烈马法拉利 Modena complementary, which provides extreme driving pleasure, while the Maserati will provide first-class sporty and luxury. A track where Ferrari can satisfy your desires, and a Maserati will be able to meet you on any occasion, all because of its performance, comfort and luxury, it is the all-powerful, Maserati president of the executive GT version is a great example.

● minority honor

Maserati CEO has a large luxury sedan body, but unlike other models less cumbersome, as the new century and Maserati design style makes the president still has a huge outline of sports car, even if the extra two doors also did not affect the body on the side of smooth beauty. While 40 received numerous international awards, it also underlined the president’s unique style, it is significantly higher than Germany, “Iron Man,” who looked stylish, avant-garde of many, take a look at the eyes of passers-by envy and amazement that is known. After the front cover of the three parallelogram around the ventilation holes and rear pairs of a chrome-plated exhaust pipes, indicates that this car extraordinary.

Its internal use of Poltrona Frau custom brown leather package, supplemented by iron-gray leather embellishment, fabric seam side deal with a black bag, this style of interior trappings of the royal family is clearly not the S-class, 7 series or A8 of the class can be compared. Executive GT version of the rear seat with massage function, as this level of luxury cars, electric curtains of the type of equipment is also essential.

President, customers can choose the order the list one by one body color, interior leather interior, carpet or suture material and color, which had its own unique president. A sense of honor on this minority is concerned, we can not rival Maserati CEO as S600, 760Li or the A8 W12, although their price is almost, but the Maserati’s uniqueness is second to none.

If the S-class after the words “AMG” suffix, or A8 replaced by S8, they can in order to rarity, and the Maserati CEO equal. Of course, the president’s rivals are Bentley Continental GT, as well as the forthcoming Porsche Panamera, these same rare earth-ho, like cars and CEO, but at the same time for the pursuit of personal comfort and preference of buyers and exercise to create, at any occasion, they can give you enough to face.

● oil into a “life-saving” medicine

President and Executive GT version stroked smooth body, looking at a huge air intakes, sneaking into the car was wrapped hot leather seats, side surround the luxurious and sophisticated interior parts, I feel we should sick, and this kinds of disorders manifested as rapid heart beat, hand and foot muscles tightening, I understand that for this time only the burning of oil in order to save themselves.

Ignition, “H” – is heard, the fuel began to 4244ml of the V8 engine burning inside, ignition of the explosive roar moment far better than the S Class or 7 Series is the kind of gentle flirting, president and a more direct demonstration of the moving rapidly speeding aspirations.

Liberalization of electronic handbrake, hanging into the forward gear, grace GT rear exit, it arrogant to slowly moving forward. Onto the highway, calm the body so that I feel like I was driving a sleek metal sculptures. But when my normal throttle traffic stampede, the preferred high-speed, high-performance engines can be started with violence displayed.

Speed is difficult to less than 3000rpm, which means that President and Executive GT version has a volcanic eruption-type moment of momentum at any time the accelerator tread depth, speed pointer will not hesitate to jump on the ground, the body will accelerate forward setting, this feeling is like driving GT sports car. The six-speed ZF automatic transmission in such circumstances will usually firmly maintain the gear, so that drivers would receive a continuing sense of strong acceleration, only when the fast full stampede when the accelerator pedal, the electronic program will quickly make transmission downshifts to obtain instantaneous torque.

Of course, when I was a relatively congested traffic flow in Chang’an driving CEO Executive GT version, to make this easily, “sullen,” the president is also very easy to keep calm as long as you are familiar with the intensity of trampling the accelerator and brake can to become president of the acceleration and deceleration gentle and affectionate. Both rear passengers or passengers, Fu Jia, have praised the comfort of the vehicle are Canada, two million have mobile couch riding high flexibility, non-motion mode, the chassis of the road bumps very clean and inhibition, which was benefit from the Skyhook suspension damping system to real-time monitoring and adjustment, so that vibrations disappear.

However, when the buses will be head of the passengers were desperate crowd around when driving to visit my sit, I can not help but kick the accelerator showed off a huge roar and the flash-off in shadow. Would like to explore the suit-president of athleticism is the test site bar.

● remove the camouflage

With Mannesmann-Sachs Racing engineers to develop advanced suspension-conditioning systems, not only in order to create a comfortable driving environment Carpet-style, in fact, in sports mode, the president will immediately remove the disguise, in order to show his capacity as GT sports car.

Although Executive GT version does not use sports GT version of the 6-speed F1 gearbox, but the 6-speed ZF automatic transmission Chupin the movement pattern is already quite exciting. Through the familiar sequence of shifting shift rod is a good experience, stepping on the accelerator pedal and let the V8 engine roared to speed and the speed quickly pulled after pulling shift lever and gear increased quickly, delay is very short, transmission and engines with considerable precision, the new one just Earned speed continuing to sense the palm of the hand holding the shift lever with the Trident logo, you will think this is a pure sports car, in fact, it is!

The car has a glorious history, and in today’s GT racing community continues to be staged drama of the Maserati of the manipulative and shape is very capable, let alone with the door of a Ferrari will have benefited a lot. Engineers to fine-tuning of the president of the executive GT version of the body weight distribution, the former mid-engine layout of the front effectively reduces the inertia of the vehicle’s steering characteristics far superior to ordinary cars, and when I turn the steering wheel gorgeous, the president of precision and speed of I was enlightened and turned to action. 49% of the front axle load and 51% of the rear axle load ratio of a perfect body in the fast-changing line of action when both the clean and efficient, but also in the MSP stability control system with the help of a large body is also easily controlled. Whether Slalom or change lines, president and executive GT sports car version of the posture are comparable, while the other large luxury sedans can only hope their disappointed, because the Maserati car manufacturer is not the thoroughbred.

Brembo ventilated disc brakes front and rear to provide clear that the system belongs to top-level sports car equipment, which allows static and dynamic president and behave freely, large diameter (front and rear 330mm brake discs) performance is very high, even if the temperature continued to rise, but the braking force still without any reservation.

Luxurious “leather sofa” in the testing field merrily danced ballet, four exhaust pipes where the gas emitted waves enough to bake an egg, 7000rpm more than treble line of tearing the air, transmitted to the distance, tire quickly, and the friction with the ground to leave a little hot rubber (Information, Quote) particles. These things also do 760Li or the A8 W12, but no president has come so smooth. The four exhaust pipes as flamboyantly as the Ferrari caught outside, itself the subject of the movement point out that even if the CEO has a 200-million luxury, it is still wrapped in the sports car jacket.

We need such a heavy-weight models into our test market, because it is rare, because of its extraordinary qualities, because it seamlessly bring the luxury and sports a sense of honor brings the intensity of combined dedicated to me . This car has reason for the success of Maserati. In fact, the president hit the market, not only the award-winning, but it also contributed for the Maserati family, a great power.

Chief Executive of Maserati’s brand personality inherited mind, an unyielding insistence campaign line, same time, with valuable practical interpretation of luxury cars for everyday use features. Maybe your life can not be only a 599 GTB, because very often you are not convenient to drive it, but your life has been a president of the executive GT version, and the bureaucratic, meetings, hiking, track, nothing is to, Apennine-style luxury and passion will meet all your.
