Last night, the sight of a newly opened bar in Saigon caught the attention of many with its lineup of “luxury” cars. Among them, the most eye-catching was a vibrant yellow Lamborghini Aventador. Additionally, there was an orange Chevrolet Corvette C6, the only Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition in Vietnam, and a vintage open-top Austin car.

In Vietnam, there are a total of 4 imported Lamborghini Aventador supercars, each in different colors such as yellow, orange, white, and red. Among them, the white Lamborghini Aventador is the only officially distributed one and has yet to find an owner.

The vibrant yellow Lamborghini Aventador is the first of its kind to make its appearance in Vietnam, complete with an impressive “quadruple 9” license plate. In the Vietnamese market, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is officially distributed with a price tag of 22.5 billion VND.
The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is powered by a V12 engine with a displacement of 6.5 liters, producing a maximum power of 700 horsepower and a maximum torque of 690 Nm. This power is transferred to all four wheels through a 7-speed ISR automatic transmission, enabling the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 349 km/h.

Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Corvette C6 is a rather rare sight in Vietnam. The Chevrolet Corvette C6 in the photo is even more special with its ZR1 body kit and a carbon fiber scoop, accompanied by eye-catching Corsa exhaust tips. Additionally, it features a combination of steel pipes crafted by Vietnamese artisans and Magnaflow mufflers from the US, providing an impressive sound to the modified car.

Notably, the attention-grabbing red Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition is another highlight. The Alfa Romeo 4C arrived in Vietnam as part of a special Launch Edition reserved for the US market, with only 500 units being produced. Moreover, the Italian brand distributed a total of 1,000 units of the 4C Launch Edition worldwide. Out of these, 400 units were allocated to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, while the remaining units were widely distributed in other markets.
The Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition in the Vietnamese market bears the serial number 116/500, belonging to a member of the Vietnam Team. Compared to the standard Alfa Romeo 4C, the special edition boasts several prominent upgrades, including bi-xenon headlights with additional LED daytime running lights, a premium carbon fiber rear spoiler, 18-inch front and 19-inch rear matte black wheels paired with eye-catching red brake calipers.
Underneath the hood, the Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition is equipped with a 4-cylinder, turbocharged 1.7-liter engine that generates a maximum power of 237 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. Coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission, this engine enables the rare sports car to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and achieve a top speed of 257 km/h. In the US, the Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition has a starting price of $68,400.

In addition to the aforementioned cars, there was also a white modified Nissan 350Z and a vibrant red Mercedes-Benz outside the newly opened bar in Saigon. The lineup of luxury cars created an atmosphere reminiscent of Dubai rather than Saigon.
