Established in 1913, Aston Martin is the esteemed UK brand known for its luxurious sports cars. The brand has produced a range of remarkable and iconic vehicles over the years. One notable feature of Aston Martin cars is their association with the famous “007” agent.
Interestingly, many are unaware that the first supercar to arrive in Vietnam was actually an Aston Martin Vanquish, not the Lamborghini Gallardo owned by “Dollar” Cuong in 2007. The Aston Martin Vanquish secretly made its way to Vietnam almost 2 years prior, brought in by a businessman from Hanoi.
Currently, there are over 30 Aston Martin luxury sports cars in Vietnam, including models such as the Aston Martin DB9 Coupe, Aston Martin DB9 Volante, Aston Martin Vanquish (2nd generation), Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, Aston Martin DB11, Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster, Aston Martin Rapide S, and Aston Martin Rapide.
Aston Martin 2023 Price List
After 14 years since its first arrival in Vietnam, the British supercar brand has finally established an official dealership in the country. The Aston Martin Vietnam showroom now offers two main models, the Aston Martin DB11 and the 2nd generation Aston Martin Vantage.
The official retail price for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage in Vietnam starts at 14,988 billion VND, while the Aston Martin DB11 V8 is priced at 15,868 billion VND. These prices are considerably higher compared to other Southeast Asian markets like Thailand and Malaysia. However, this does not discourage wealthy Vietnamese buyers from owning these luxury vehicles.
According to Decision No. 618/QD-BTC issued by the Ministry of Finance, the registration fees for other Aston Martin models like the Aston Martin DB9, Rapide, DBS, and Vanquish range from 9.8 to 24.9 billion VND.
When compared to Aston Martin prices worldwide, Vietnamese buyers are paying two to three and a half times more due to higher taxes. For example, an Aston Martin V8 Vantage in Thailand is priced at 10.6 billion VND, while in Vietnam, it is sold for 14,988 billion VND. In the US market, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage is priced at only 3.5 billion VND.

In Vietnam, the Aston Martin Rapide is priced at around 17.6 billion VND, while the Aston Martin Rapide S is priced at 17.1 billion VND.
The Aston Martin Rapide is a sleek 4-door coupe often referred to as the “queen” of 4-door coupe cars. Vietnam is home to over 8 Aston Martin Rapide cars, including both the Aston Martin Rapide and the upgraded version, the Aston Martin Rapide S, which were produced from 2015 to 2018.
The Rapide S features an upgraded chassis and suspension system, with the engine lowered by 19mm and a lower center of gravity compared to the previous generation, resulting in improved handling. The Adaptive Damping System (ADS) with three modes (Normal, Sport, and Track) enhances the car’s impressive performance.
Aston Martin Vanquish
The first-generation Aston Martin Vanquish had only one unit imported to Vietnam, while the second generation has three units available in both the coupe and convertible versions. The price for the second-generation Aston Martin Vanquish starts at 23.9 billion VND.
The interior of the second-generation Aston Martin Vanquish features a 2+2 coupe design with rear seats suitable for children or additional storage. The center console of the car is beautifully designed with neatly arranged buttons for easy operation.
The Aston Martin Vanquish second-generation is equipped with a V12 engine with a displacement of 6.0 liters and a maximum output of 658 horsepower and 630 Nm of torque. Combined with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this allows the Vanquish Coupe to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 3.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 324 km/h.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage
The second-generation Aston Martin Vantage was introduced in 2018 with significant design and engine changes. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is officially distributed in Vietnam with a price of 14.988 billion VND. There is currently only one Aston Martin V8 Vantage on the roads in Vietnam, priced at up to 16.5 billion VND.
Both Aston Martin V8 Vantage cars in Vietnam are equipped with the Aston Martin Vantage AMR body kit. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage features a V8 twin-turbo engine with a displacement of 4.0 liters, producing a maximum power of 510 horsepower and 685 Nm of torque.
Combined with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission and a rear-wheel drive system, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 314 km/h.
Aston Martin DB11
Shortly after discontinuing the Aston Martin DB9, the British luxury sports car manufacturer wasted no time introducing the Aston Martin DB11. The Aston Martin DB11 has gained noteworthy attention and has received 1,400 orders from affluent individuals worldwide since its launch. Production officially began on September 28th, 2016. To ensure quality, the CEO of Aston Martin, Andy Palmer, personally inspected the first 1,000 units.
The price of the Aston Martin DB11 V8 in Vietnam starts at 15.686 billion VND. There are currently 6 Aston Martin DB11 V8 models available in Vietnam, each with its own unique color. The estimated amount that well-off individuals in Ho Chi Minh City will likely invest to drive an Aston Martin DB11 V8 on the city streets could reach 17.3 billion VND.
Initially, the Aston Martin DB11 luxury sports car was equipped with a 5.3-liter V12 engine. However, a year later, Aston Martin decided to equip the DB11 with a 4.0-liter V8 engine with twin-turbo technology produced by Mercedes-AMG. This change appealed more to customers in Asia, particularly wealthy Vietnamese buyers, as the Mercedes-AMG engine used in the Aston Martin DB11 offers better tax incentives compared to the original 5.3-liter V12 engine.
The Aston Martin DB11 V8 model boasts a V8 twin-turbo engine with a displacement of 4.0 liters, produced by Mercedes-AMG. It generates a maximum power of 510 horsepower and 675 Nm of torque. The engine is combined with a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering power to the rear wheels. This enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 301 km/h. The simplest way to differentiate between the Aston Martin DB11 V8 and the Aston Martin DB11 V12 is by the number of air vents on the car’s hood, with the V8 model having 2 vents and the V12 model having 4 vents.
Conclusion
In the luxury sports car segment, vehicles not only compete based on price and features, but also personal preference and passion. Aston Martin is no exception, as its buyers are often driven by their love for the brand and their passion for driving.
Note: The term “Aston Martin 2023” refers to Aston Martin cars manufactured in 2023, regardless of the model year of the vehicles.
