Recently, the luxurious Aston Martin DB12 sports car was spotted cruising the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, revealing a highly meaningful license plate. The owner had sought this specific plate, 83A-238.63, through an auction, securing it for just 40 million VND—a mere fraction of the car’s value.
However, this plate holds immense significance for the owner, as 23863 represents their birthdate: 23/8/63, with the last two digits of the year included. This Aston Martin DB12 joins the collection of vehicles owned by a prominent consumer industry entrepreneur, whose fleet already includes a Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years and a Porsche 911 GT2 RS, all featuring the number sequence 23863. The owner is known for their extensive collection of luxury and vintage cars, often seen driving them around the city.

Powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, the Aston Martin DB12 delivers an impressive 671 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. This enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 325 km/h.
