Last night, many Saigonese were surprised to see a line of “luxury” cars outside a newly opened bar. One of the most outstanding cars was a vibrant yellow Lamborghini Aventador. In addition, there were also a orange Chevrolet Corvette C6, the only Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition in Vietnam, and a vintage open-top Austin car.

In Vietnam, there are 4 Lamborghini Aventador supercars imported with different colors such as yellow, orange, white, and red. Among them, only the white Lamborghini Aventador is officially distributed and still has not found an owner.

The vibrant yellow Lamborghini Aventador is the first car to appear in Vietnam, with an impressive “quadruple 9” license plate. In the Vietnamese market, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is officially distributed with a price of 22.5 billion VND.
The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 uses a V12 engine with a displacement of 6.5 liters, producing a maximum power of 700 horsepower and a maximum torque of 690 Nm. The power is transmitted to all four wheels through a 7-speed ISR automatic transmission. As a result, the car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds before reaching a top speed of 349 km/h.

Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Corvette C6 is quite rare in Vietnam. The Chevrolet Corvette C6 in the photo is even more special with a ZR1 body kit and a carbon fiber scoop along with eye-catching Corsa exhaust tips. In addition, there is the combination of steel pipes made by Vietnamese craftsmen with the Magnaflow mufflers from the US, bringing an impressive sound to the modified car.

Attracting no less attention is the striking red Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition. The Alfa Romeo 4C appeared in Vietnam as part of a special Launch Edition reserved for the US market with only 500 units produced. Worldwide, the Italian brand only distributed 1,000 units of the 4C Launch Edition. In addition to the US, 400 units were distributed in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The remaining units were widely distributed in other markets.
The Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition in the Vietnamese market has the serial number 116/500 and belongs to a member of the Viet Nam Team. Compared to the Alfa Romeo 4C, the special edition features many prominent upgrades such as bi-xenon headlights with additional LED daytime running lights, a premium carbon fiber rear spoiler, 18-inch front and 19-inch rear matte black wheels paired with eye-catching red brake calipers.
The Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition is equipped with a 4-cylinder, turbocharged 1.7-liter engine that generates a maximum power of 237 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. Combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission, the engine allows the rare sports car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds before reaching a top speed of 257 km/h. In the US, the Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition starts at $68,400.
