The dynamic duo of DJ Ngan 98 and musician Luong Bang Quang has recently taken the internet by storm with their nuptials, following a seven-year romance. Prior to their marriage, the couple had already made headlines with their purchase of a Mercedes-Benz V-Class Maybach-style van, affectionately dubbed the “ground private jet.”
Before tying the knot, Ngan 98 and Luong Bang Quang had already made a statement in the automotive world with their lavish spending on multiple luxury vehicles. Their collection includes the likes of the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, Kia Carnival, the supercar Maserati MC20 Cielo, and most recently, a customized Mercedes-Benz V-Class.
Join us as we delve into these exquisite automobiles.
Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe
In late 2021, Ngan 98 and Luong Bang Quang turned heads when they took delivery of a Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe, purchased through official channels. The vehicle sports a green exterior with certain logos swapped for the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 variant.
The Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe 2021 model commands a base price of 5.35 billion VND, excluding on-road costs.
Under the hood, the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe boasts a 6-cylinder inline engine that generates a maximum output of 435 horsepower and a peak torque of 520 Nm. Additionally, the engine incorporates EQ Boost technology, featuring an electric motor and a generator positioned between the engine and the transmission. This setup provides an extra boost of 22 horsepower and 250 Nm.
The engine’s power is transmitted to the wheels through an AMG Speedshift TCT 9-speed transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system. This setup enables the vehicle to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 250 km/h. The driver can select from five distinct driving modes via the AMG Dynamic Select control panel integrated into the steering wheel.
Maserati MC20 Cielo
Two years after acquiring the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, the couple once again made headlines with their purchase of the Maserati MC20 Cielo supercar. This convertible masterpiece was imported officially and set the couple back nearly 20 billion VND. It is the only Maserati MC20 Cielo in Vietnam.
The one-of-a-kind Maserati MC20 Cielo on Vietnamese soil boasts a stunning yellow exterior with numerous matte black accents, including the front bumper, air intakes, side skirts, and rear diffuser. The tri-spoke alloy wheels feature a two-tone finish in silver and black, complemented by red brake calipers.
Stepping inside the Maserati MC20 Cielo reveals a stunning cream-colored interior accented with matte carbon fiber details. The sports seats embrace the occupants, providing a secure and comfortable driving experience.
The Italian name “Cielo” translates to “sky,” aptly describing the convertible nature of this Maserati supercar. The MC20 Cielo features an innovative glass roof that can instantly switch from transparent to opaque at the touch of a button on the central display, thanks to Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) technology.
Under the hood, the Maserati MC20 Cielo is equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine that delivers an impressive 621 horsepower and 730 Nm of torque. This potent powertrain is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a rear-wheel-drive system that incorporates Formula 1-derived technologies. As a result, the MC20 Cielo can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 2.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 325 km/h.
Mercedes-Benz V-Class
Most recently, the couple added the Mercedes-Benz V-Class MPV to their fleet, featuring modifications inspired by the ultra-luxurious Maybach models. This new addition may signal the departure of their previously favored Kia Carnival MPV.
While the specific model of the couple’s Mercedes-Benz V-Class remains unknown, the V250 Luxury trim would impress with its use of premium materials such as aluminum alloy, leather, and wood accents. The ambient lighting offers adjustable colors and brightness, and the Nappa leather-clad steering wheel houses a host of modern controls. The dashboard features a distinctive double-stripe pattern, complemented by a crisp 7-inch TFT display.
The Mercedes-Benz V250 Luxury is powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder inline engine that produces 211 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a 7G-Tronic Plus 7-speed automatic transmission and a rear-wheel-drive system, enabling the MPV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 9.4 seconds.
