Ferrari has just announced a special 599 for the Chinese market. It's based on the car with the HGTE handling pack, though it has a few extra, Far Eastern touches.
Features such as the starter button, which glows jade green because jade is revered
in China. And a luggage set embroidered with a map of the Silk Road, because
that's in China. And a rev counter featuring ancient Chinese script in place of
western numerals because, of course, that's Chinese. Actually, we like those and
think they should feature on the new Astra or something, just to confuse some
chavs.
Artist Lu Hao was behind the special touches, and unconfirmed reports suggest he
is also Chinese. Though we believe he missed a trick. Surely the Prancing Horse
could have become some sort of elaborate dragon.
Just 12 cars will be made and in a market of more than a billion people, it
should sell like cheap chopsticks.

So they've just written everything in Chinese and painted the roof black? Wow. I'm so thrilled. Also, I agree with e92m3.

well that means the rev counter is more confusing than the one on some cars with no rev counters
