The journey of Phạm Trần Nhật Minh, better known as Minh “Nhựa,” from ordering the million-dollar McLaren Elva to finally getting it on the roads of Vietnam, was a thrilling two-year saga that created a new wave of excitement in the country’s supercar community.
Nearly three months after getting the number plate, and after sitting idle in his garage, Minh “Nhựa”‘s McLaren Elva suddenly regained popularity on social media as its owner shared a rather simple yet special accessory that any car would need.
The million-dollar McLaren Elva now has a floor mat designed by Richard Mille and McLaren. This has left Minh “Nhựa” contemplating whether to drive it out or keep it in his garage for admiration. These floor mats are exclusively designed for the Elva model.
Being a devout fan of the luxury watch brand Richard Mille, Minh “Nhựa” is thrilled with the collaboration between the watchmaker and McLaren, which resulted in these unique floor mats.
Currently, the McLaren Elva sits in Minh “Nhựa”‘s private garage, now equipped with a windshield, registration stickers, road tax, and, of course, the number plate 51N-00.405.
If you think the number plate of Minh “Nhựa”‘s McLaren Elva is too ordinary, it actually holds a special meaning for him. He spent $1,700 to get his dream number, which also pairs with the number plate of his Pagani Huayra—a truly classy choice.
Last year, after transferring ownership of the Pagani Huayra from his father, Minh “Nhựa” was lucky enough to secure the number plate 51L-00.405. As you can see, the McLaren Elva and Pagani Huayra share the same number plate, except for the first letter.
For Minh “Nhựa” and his family, the number 405 has been significant for decades, as it represents their long-standing business in the plastic industry. Before acquiring the matching 405 number plates for the McLaren Elva and Pagani Huayra, he would stick the number 405 on his other supercars and luxury vehicles.
Minh “Nhựa” revealed that he paid $8 million, nearly $190 billion, for the McLaren Elva, a much higher figure than the previously disclosed amount of $143 billion. This supercar was initially planned for a production run of 399 units but was later reduced to 299 and then further cut down to 149 by the British automaker.
Aside from its striking design, the McLaren Elva stands out as the only model in the McLaren lineup that does not have a roof or windows. Despite this, it still packs a punch with the same V8, twin-turbo, 4.0-liter engine found in other McLaren supercars like the 720S, 720S Spider, and the hypercar Senna owned by Hoàng Kim Khánh.
This powerhouse delivers a maximum output of 804 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, enabling the McLaren Elva to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds.
