Recently, a Ferrari 488 GTB owned by a businessman from Dong Nai was spotted cruising the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, quickly drawing attention due to its striking license plate, 60B-299.99.
Upon investigation, it was revealed that this license plate was won through an auction. Interestingly, the same Ferrari 488 GTB had previously sported another auction-won plate, 60K-51.999, featuring a triplet of nines, known as “tam hoa 9,” which is considered highly desirable.

This marks the second time the Ferrari 488 GTB has changed its auction-won license plate, in addition to the initial random plate selection. This truly demonstrates the owner’s passion for desirable numbers.
While the previous plate, featuring a triplet of nines, was already quite attractive, the owner was not fully satisfied. This time, they decided to upgrade to a quartet of nines, with a leading digit of 2, indicating the car has undergone two auction plate changes, totaling a cost of 460 million VND.
The license plate 60B-29999 was auctioned for a staggering 420 million VND, leaving little room for debate or further changes, unless the owner aims for a full set of five nines.
