China might not be the first place that comes to mind when talking about car culture, but it has its own unique scene. Despite strict laws and regulations, there are many car enthusiasts in China who love their supercars and hypercars.
China’s car culture is different because of strict laws and a focus on practicality. Supercars are rare because of high taxes on imports and strict rules about modifications. However, places like Macau show that car culture is alive and diverse in China.
An automotive YouTuber named effspot travels to China to explore its car culture. He visits a custom car shop near Shanghai and sees some interesting Lamborghinis, including one getting a Liberty Walk widebody kit. He also spots other cool cars, such as a BMW M3 Touring and a Ferrari FF.
Owning a supercar in China comes with challenges like high import taxes and strict regulations on modifications. Speed cameras and noise pollution monitors also make it difficult to enjoy fast cars on the roads.
