In mid-2012, a stunning yellow Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 cruised through District 8 in Ho Chi Minh City, captivating the car enthusiast community. Prior to this, there was no social media buzz about the car’s presence in Vietnam.
Just a day later, this Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 became even more famous as it was spotted in the garage of Cuong “Dollar,” Vietnam’s most renowned car enthusiast, leading the media to assume that the mountain entrepreneur owned this vehicle.

Within a few weeks, this Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 acquired license plates, and surprisingly, they were diplomatic plates. However, even more surprisingly, just a few months later, the car was registered with the local plates 51A-899.99, indicating that all taxes had been paid, totaling over 23 billion VND at the time.
After spending several years with its first owner, the legendary Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 with the license plate 51A-899.99 was sold and changed hands a few times before ending up with a luxury car dealer in Ho Chi Minh City. It took a few years for the car to find its new owner.
Recently, this Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 was spotted with its new owner cruising in the beautiful city of Da Nang. The car also sports a new license plate, 51M. The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 has overall dimensions of 4,780 mm in length, 2,030 mm in width, and 1,136 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,700 mm.

The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4’s overall design resembles an aggressive, powerful bull. Its form borrows heavily from the limited-edition Reventon and the stunning Lamborghini Estoque concept car.
The car features eye-catching and precise LED headlights. The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4’s character is further emphasized by hexagonal motifs throughout its design, from the hood, front air intakes to the rear and scissor doors. A large air intake on the side cools the engine.
At the rear, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 features LED taillights in a horizontal Y shape, with a large air intake below, a sporty rear bumper, and a striking dual exhaust system in the center. The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Coupe features thick, five-spoke alloy wheels, while the convertible version has thinner, more elegant five-spoke wheels.
The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 boasts a sporty, multifunctional steering wheel wrapped in premium leather, integrating shift paddles and supporting various functions. At its launch at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, German CEO Stephan Winkelmann emphasized the car’s performance and the start/stop buttons inspired by American fighter jet cockpits, cleverly concealed behind a unique orange cover.
The Aventador LP700-4’s seats are upholstered in fine leather, with carbon fiber backing. Behind the sports seats is just enough space for personal items and backpacks. Like most supercars, the Lamborghini Aventador has only two seats. Information suggesting that the Aventador is a four-seater Lamborghini is incorrect.
The original Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, the first of its kind in Vietnam, was powered by a 6.5-liter V12 engine producing 700 horsepower and 690 Nm of torque.
The power is transmitted to all four wheels through a 7-speed ISR automatic transmission, enabling the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 349 km/h.
