<br />Roewe, SAIC's premium brand which owns the tooling rights to the Rover 75 platform, has brought out a sporting variant of its compact sedan, dubbed the 550 RS. In keeping with Shanghai Motor Show tradition thus far, little is known about what lies beneath the hood of the RS, but with the standard 550 packing updated versions of either the 1.6- or 1.8-liter Rover K-series four-cylinders, we suspect the RS' "performance" mods are limited to the decklid wing, roof aerofoil, side skirts and the matte (or just unpainted plastic?) front clip.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://chinese.autoblog.com/photos/550rs-2009/">ae¦®?¨? 550RS 2009?¸?aeµ·è»??±?</a></strong></p><a href="http://chinese.autoblog.com/photos/550rs-2009/1506427/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/chinese.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/autoblog_cn_img_7487_thum bnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://chinese.autoblog.com/photos/550rs-2009/1506426/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/chinese.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/autoblog_cn_img_7484_thum bnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://chinese.autoblog.com/photos/550rs-2009/1506425/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/chinese.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/autoblog_cn_img_7483_thum bnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://chinese.autoblog.com/photos/550rs-2009/1506424/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/chinese.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/autoblog_cn_img_7486_thum bnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://chinese.autoblog.com/photos/550rs-2009/1506423/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/chinese.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/autoblog_cn_img_7485_thum bnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/21/shanghia-2009-roewe-550-rs/">Shanghai 2009: Roewe 550 RS gets its performance garb on</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Tue, 21 Apr 2009 18:01:00 EST.
