HÀ NỘI — VinFast will introduce its first Lux SUV model at the Geneva Motor Show 2019 in Switzerland, one of the most exciting displays of auto engineering and design in the world, from March 7-17.

Being equipped with a powerful 6.2-litre V8 engine and outstanding interior and exterior, the new VinFast Lux V8 has quickly attracted the attention of international experts and media.

VinFast Lux V8 was developed from the prototype of the Lux SUV SA2.0, but surpasses the original both in appearance and specifications. The most prominent in the special version VinFast Lux V8 is a powerful V8 engine block. With eight V-shaped cylinders, 455 horsepower and maximum torque of 624 Nm, the VinFast Lux V8 can reach a maximum speed of 300km per hour.

In terms of design, the exhibited VinFast Lux V8 car has luxurious black bodywork combined with carbon-coated silver detail, bringing a classy appearance and power to users. It also features 22-inch sports tires, splint lines on the body and high-grade carbon on the roof at bonnet, which all create a feeling of both sport and elegance.

The interior has also been raised to a new level, with premium suede and carbon fibre compound.

To emphasise the elegance and originality of the VinFast Lux V8, the lower row of the special edition has been carefully calibrated to provide maximum comfort for passengers.

Design director of VinFast David Lyon said the VinFast Lux V8 was the perfect combination between performance and luxury.

Owners could enjoy the relaxation in the back seat and can satisfy their passion for driving behind the wheel, he added.

The VinFast Lux V8 not only provides a great experience and excitement; it has also inspired Magna - VinFast’s automobile production consultancy partner. Magna engineers have invested a lot of effort and enthusiasm to produce the perfect special edition. That is why Magna, which is the world’s No. 1 automobile manufacturer and partner of leading car manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Audi, has decided to choose the VinFast Lux V8 at the Geneva Motor Show 2019.

The VinFast Lux V8 is likely to be a limited edition and only available in 2020. — VNS
