A Rare Sighting of the Ferrari California Spider in Ho Chi Minh City’s Streets

"Mr. Vu is an avid collector of Ferrari vehicles, with a particular passion for the California model. His affinity for this iconic car has led him to acquire not just one, but two examples of this classic. One is a standard California, a testament to the timeless design and engineering of Ferrari. The other is a mid-life refresh, the California T, which offers a more modern take on the original while retaining the essence that makes it a Ferrari. This discerning gentleman's pursuit of these vehicles is a testament to his appreciation for automotive excellence and his desire to own the very best."

Last night, on the 29th of June 2024, the streets of Ho Chi Minh City were graced by a rare appearance of a Ferrari California convertible supercar. It is believed that there are fewer than seven of these vehicles in Vietnam, with five standard models and two mid-life upgrade versions.

Car enthusiasts jokingly referred to this Ferrari California as the “survivor” of the recent hunt for Ferraris by businessman Dang Le Nguyen Vu, Chairman of Trung Nguyen. Prior to this sighting, the entrepreneur had already acquired two California models, one standard and one mid-life upgrade named the California T.

This particular Ferrari California convertible is the only one in the market featuring a Hamann body kit. It was previously owned by a well-known collector, Do Binh Duong, also known as Duong “Kon”. The car initially had diplomatic plates, but it has since been fully taxed and registered with the local license plate number 51K.

According to our sources, the current owner of this Hamann-modified Ferrari California convertible is also a collector who shares rare vehicles with fellow enthusiasts. After 13 years in the country, the car has barely clocked 15,000 miles, averaging just under 1,200 miles per year.

Compared to the standard Ferrari California models, the Hamann version stands out with the tuner’s logo on the front splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser. Additionally, the Hamann-modified supercar features a carbon fiber rear spoiler, which was initially a contrasting color to the car’s red body but has since been painted red.

The hardtop convertible roof and exhaust system of the Hamann-modified Ferrari California are finished in matte black, adding a unique touch to the vehicle. The car’s wheels have also been returned to their original silver color.

The Ferrari California is powered by a front-mounted 4.3-liter V8 engine with direct gasoline injection, producing a maximum output of 460 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and a peak torque of 485 Nm.

This engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, enabling the Ferrari California to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds. The supercar has a top speed of 310 km/h.
