In the midst of year-end discount promotions to let go of older vehicle stocks, some auto brands continued to roll out their latest cars shortly before the Christmas holidays, in preparation for the upcoming 2016.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the Christmas week, Lamborghini Hong Kong (Kingsway Cars) held a small media reception on the latest rear-drive Hurac\u00e1n street variant, the ~HK$3.6M LP580-2. Meanwhile, a weekend earlier, McLaren Hong Kong (Goodwood Motors) lashed out a full show and unveiled the ~$3.2M 570S to a trove of existing customers, VIPs, and the auto press.<\/p>\n
The same studio warehouse at the Shaw Studios complex may have been used for the brand\u2019s initial unveil and 12C\u2019s launch back in 2011, but this time the launch program was not about cloth-unveiling formality, but instead consisted of a demo vehicular drifting performance by pro-racing driver Charles Ng, followed by a sharing session by Ng and local motoring authority Dik Kong Sang. Dik, a veteran auto journalist currently running the local Automomo webzine — and the only local media invited to such overseas test drive — joined Ng in early December to test drive the new 570S, the 650S, and the 675LT (Long Tail) at Malaysia\u2019s Sepang International Circuit, experiencing the differences in handling and performance amongst the said models.<\/p>\n
