This Is What The First-Ever Vietnamese Cars Will Look Like... Maybe
These two bold designs are set to become the first Vietnamese cars in history. The Pininfarina-penned concepts won a public vote among 62,000 people, and were chosen above 20 other sketches from design houses across the globe.
Striking, aren’t they. The SUV and saloon will be the first models to be built by a new company called Vinfast. Pininfarina says there’s plenty of work still to do on the design… which probably means the finished product will end up looking nothing like this.
The first of the two is aimed at a September 2019 launch date. We don’t yet know which will get the green light before the other, but Vinfast apparently has ambitions to build 500,000 cars by 2025. The chief of Vinfast’s owner, Vingroup, said:
“The direct involvement of Pininfarina, one of the world’s biggest design brands, is expected to bring modern beauty while retaining Vietnamese identity to the first two Vinfast car models.”

My inner History buff:
It’s gotta be able to defeat the American competition eh? 😂😂
Lol my same thought
Well, an ex -GM boss is hired by Vinfast (the manufacture) so I doubt it.
They are a bit late.
Mercedes did this “the concept looks completely different than the original-tactic” before
The saloon car looks nice, if it’s priced well and competitive enough in its class it’ll sell well. As a first car from Vietnam though it can’t afford to be unreliable so they’ll have to go for bulletproof reliability or they’ll fail badly, like yugo did in the USA
Don’t pick on the Yugo, it was a really crappy car but extremely cheap and easy to fix :P
The best way to beat the competition is to make the dashboard glass and the steering wheel an iPad 😀
I bet these cars will be better than the Malaysians did.
Proton lel
Oooh, they look quite nice, actually
Looks kinda like a Maser. The back of the saloon looks like a Ghibli and the front reminds me of a Levante
Knowing how differently concept and production differs i bet it will look like vauxhaul (opel) vectra b with lift kit :D
I kek’d
Pfhhh… I knew about it 3 months ago.
At least it will be a good car made by communist, specifically the VC.
The new Supra has been leaked!
