The exact name of this new VinFast convertible model is not yet clear, but looking at the design and dimensions, it looks quite similar to the VF8 model.
Specifically, the front of the car is identical to the regular VinFast VF8 model, with a daytime LED strip designed in the shape of wings, and the VinFast logo in the middle. The headlights have a sleek design with LED Projector bulbs. Meanwhile, the design of the sides of the car is similar to the VF8, with the only difference being the design of the convertible top.
There are many opinions that this is the convertible version of the VF8 model. However, it is not clear whether this is a modified version or a commercial version that VinFast will mass-produce in the future.
Sources say that these VinFast convertible car models are being prepared for exhibition and community events in Nha Trang.
