Just three days ago, entrepreneur Nguyen Hoang Anh embarked on a journey of almost 11,000 km, and he chose to take his limited-edition Porsche 911 Dakar as his companion once again. This trip, dubbed the “Five No’s,” includes no fixed schedule, no meals, no sleep, no sightseeing tickets, no highways, and finally, going home when the visa expires.
In the first images shared upon his arrival in China, the businessman from Haiphong, Vietnam, showed off his car and the stunning scenery as he drove around a mysterious and picturesque lake – Fuxian Lake.
First Glimpse of Haiphong’s Porsche 911 Dakar in China: Exploring the Mystical Fuxian Lake
Fuxian Lake in China, also known as Lake Fuxian or Lake Fu, is shrouded in mystery, with the most famous legend being the existence of an ancient “city” at the bottom of the lake. Researchers later explored the lake and discovered stone structures covering an area of approximately 2.4 to 2.7 square kilometers, including a pyramid-shaped monument over 20 meters high.
Apart from Lake Fuxian, the adventurous group traveling in the Porsche 911 Dakar will also be visiting numerous other notable locations, bridges, and architectural marvels that China has to offer.
The limited-edition Porsche 911 Dakar, owned by the businessman from Haiphong, was delivered to him in August last year. Just a few weeks later, the car embarked on a journey to Danang, Vietnam, before setting off on a longer trip to China. In China, the owner took this car on a nearly 35,000-kilometer journey across the country and even into Mongolia to witness the beauty of the Gobi Desert.
This Porsche 911 Dakar, with a price tag of over 18 billion VND, bears a serial number that matches the owner’s birth date: 1904/2500. It is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six twin-turbo gasoline engine that produces 473 horsepower and 570 Nm of torque.
The engine is paired with an 8-speed PDK automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, and rear-axle steering, enabling the sports car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 240 km/h.
