The “coffee king” Dang Le Nguyen Vu recently added a rare 2010 Ferrari California to his collection, valued at over 10 billion VND.
It is worth mentioning that this is the coffee tycoon’s third Vietnamese-nationality Ferrari California, making him the owner of two out of the four Ferrari California cars in Vietnam.
This car first caught attention on social media when it appeared at a wedding in Ha Tinh province. Since then, the Ferrari California has changed hands multiple times. About a year ago, it was put up for sale by a used car showroom for over 10 billion VND.
Originally, this “eternal convertible supercar” featured the iconic Rosso Corsa red color typical of the Ferrari brand. However, after coming into the possession of the “coffee king,” the car underwent a transformation, receiving a new white paint job along with the familiar “UN” letters on its body.
The California stands out with its fish-mouth grille and sleek, athletic lines, giving it a dynamic and sporty appearance.

On either side, the Ferrari California features air scoops near the front wheels to aid in cooling the V8 engine. Above the air scoops proudly sits the Scuderia shield, a trademark of Ferrari. The car rides on 20-inch Dual Diamond-cut wheels with black painted brake calipers.
The rear of the Ferrari California catches the eye with its round taillights, sharp headlights, and vertical exhaust pipes.
Inside the cabin, the predominantly brown color scheme stands out. The Ferrari California offers a relatively spacious and comfortable interior space. Noteworthy features include a fully functional control panel integrated with an entertainment screen, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a Start/Stop button, a mode switch knob, a dual-zone independent air conditioning system, and multi-directional power-adjustable seats with memory for 3 positions, among others.
Under the hood of the Ferrari California, you will find a front-mounted 4.3L naturally aspirated V8 engine. This mighty powertrain produces an output of 460 horsepower and a maximum torque of 485 Nm, mated to a 7-speed clutch transmission. Thanks to these specifications, the California can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just about 4 seconds.
