Vietnamese manufacturer Vinfast are about to produce the first cars ever made in Vietnam. The designs by Pininfarina were chosen after almost 62 000 people had given their vote, by choosing between more than 20 designs from different design houses.




Vinfast now plans to build the saloon and the SUV from September 2019, with 500 000 units produced by 2025.

The CEO of Vingroup, who owns Vinfast, Quang Viet Nguyen 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.”

What do you think of the designs? My thoughts are immediatly brought towards BMW.

I had never heard of this project Vinfast, thanks for the discovery...

I would say alfa romeo giulia design. 500 000 units is not an easy task, let's see how the interior looks like

Cool on the outside, crap on the inside?

Haha we'll see what comes out of that thing

Is it just me, or do both those car models look extraordinary wide?

Doesn't look THAT wide? But you know how the concept often change when they are about to actually make the car. It might shrink :)

just beautiful
