A black Nissan GT-R almost kisses a white Volkswagen GTI in the far-out Wangjing District in Beijing. The GTI showed some damage above the left-front wheel, probably causes by some bicycle. The Nissan GT-R is a supercar powered by a manic 530hp 3.8 liter V6, price in China is 1.5 million yuan or 240.000 USD. The Volkswagen Golf GTI is a hot hatch with a 200hp 2.0, priced at 235.800 yuan or almost 38.000 USD. The Golf GTI had the hot-hatch segment all for itself when it arrived in China two years ago, this only changed today.
