Not only choosing beautiful cars, many millionaires also want to choose beautiful and meaningful license plates to match their cars.
Since the Ministry of Public Security organized the auction of license plates, the high society in Vietnam has had the opportunity to see the “playfulness” of the wealthy who are passionate about beautiful license plates.
Below are the most expensive auctioned license plates:
Toyota Crown with the license plate 51K-888.88, priced at 15.265 billion VND
On September 15th, 2023, the license plate 51K-888.88 was auctioned for the first time by the Vietnam Auction Joint Stock Company. The “super beautiful” license plate 51K-888.88 was sold for 32.34 billion VND. However, the winning bidder did not fulfill their financial obligations, so the license plate was put up for auction again on October 21st, 2023 and was sold for 15.265 billion VND.
The VIP plate was then attached to the “ministerial car” Toyota Crown from a previous generation. It is known that this car is about 30 years old and is currently worth about 1.5 billion VND on the market.
Since the 90s of the previous century, this model has been imported to Vietnam to serve high-ranking officials and has been affectionately called the “ministerial car” by everyone.
Providing power for the car is a 6-cylinder engine with a capacity of 3.0L, with a maximum output power of 220 horsepower and a maximum torque of 298 Nm. It is accompanied by a 4-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan with the license plate 30K-555.55, priced at 14.495 billion VND
In the second auction session held on November 4th, 2023, the license plate 30K-555.55 was sold for 14.495 billion VND. After fulfilling the financial obligation, the owner immediately registered it for the luxury car Rolls-Royce Cullinan. In Vietnam, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is priced at around 40 billion VND after tax.
After attaching this super VIP plate, this Rolls-Royce Cullinan is likely to be one of the most expensive cars in Vietnam.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan is a model that marks the comprehensive change of the British car manufacturer, as Rolls-Royce has always been known as a manufacturer of low ground clearance luxury cars. Cullinan is a very special car, most clearly evidenced by the car’s name – “Cullinan”, which is the name of the largest diamond ever found in Africa and is currently mounted on the Queen of England’s crown.
The “heart” of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is a twin-turbocharged V12 engine with a displacement of 6.75 liters, producing 563 horsepower and a torque of 850 Nm. An extremely impressive figure for a true luxury SUV.
Ferrari 488 Spider with the license plate 30K-567.89, priced at 12.57 billion VND
On December 6th, 2023, the Vietnam Auction Joint Stock Company put the license plate 30K-567.89 up for auction for the third time after the winning bidder failed to make a payment. In this third auction, the “dragon hall” license plate was sold for 12.57 billion VND.
The “dragon hall” license plate 30K-567.89 is one of the most beautiful plates. In fact, it is ranked second only to the lucky number 8 and number 9 plates. This is also one of the rare license plates auctioned for tens of billions of dong.
From some photos posted on social media, it can be seen that this license plate has been registered for the red Rosso Corsa Ferrari 488 Spider. If this is true, then this is indeed the most VIP auctioned license plate registration ever, and it is very suitable for the saying “luxury car comes with a beautiful license plate.”
Powering the Ferrari 488 Spider is a twin-turbocharged V8 3.9L engine that generates 660 horsepower and a maximum torque of 760Nm, allowing the supercar to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3 seconds before reaching a top speed of 325 km/h.
Honda CR-V with the license plate 11A-111.11, priced at 8.7 billion VND
On December 22nd, 2023, the license plate 11A-111.11 from Cao Bang province caused a stir when it was sold for up to 8.78 billion VND. Until now, this license plate has been registered and attached to a Honda CR-V compact SUV. The estimated on-road price of the car is now over 10 billion VND, making it the most expensive CR-V in Vietnam.
Under the hood of the Honda CR-V is a 4-cylinder, DOHC, turbocharged, 1.5L gasoline engine, producing a maximum power of 188 horsepower and a peak torque of 240 Nm, combined with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
