Help ID this car

I saw the rear of this sleek looking car last week in Beijing, and I can't identify it. It's been driving me crazy for the last few days.
The only thing I remember is that the tail lights were shaped like rotated "L"'s that fitted along the outline of the trunk(if it had a trunk):

Anyone have a clue as to what it is? Some supercar?

Bingo! Thanks, I knew someone here would be able to ID the car. I didn't know there was a Maserati dealership in Beijing, the person probably bought it from the Ferrari dealership.

You nailed it. The Ferrari dealership in Beijing also handles the importation and sales for Maseratis.

But "agressive" doesn't always mean "good looking"...this thing is, without a doubt, one of the fugliest cars ever made. I wish I could say it has a face only a mother could love...but even a mother's love has its limits...
