Vinfast Reveals Two Upcoming Models
Vietnamese Vinfast, a part of the giant Vingroup, revealed two cars that they will put on display at the Paris Show this October.
SUV and Sedan were designed by world known studio Pininfarina.
They both feature a big V on the front.
Both cars are in the range of a BMW Series 5 models. They will be publicly available in Vietnam towards the end of the following year.
Vinfast aims at the production of 500,000 units and world-wide sales by the year 2025.
Interesting! Had no idea Vietnam setup a car manufacturing brand!
They are thinking big, obviously. With electric cars in making, too. At least on the drawing board :)

Incredible stuff, interesting times for the automobile industry!
Indeed.
Yet, we mustn't forget that the energy sector with all the infrastructure is lagging far behind the possible advancements in the field of electric locomotion.
Without charging stations with enough of clean power behind them connected with capable power lines all these shiny and new electric cars in the word are just a heap of high tech junk ...
Which also concerns me, there are huge power demands for countries like Thailand (where I am) and Vietnam, worrying plans to damn most of the Mekong river to power these SEA nations dreams of industrializing ... the Chinese are now burning more coal than any industrial revolution; can they come up with more sustainable means to make it all happen? I also doubt it, with too many corrupt generals in charge who'll make millions on the projects, and whose families will live happy ever after somewhere entirely different, like France. And we are back to square one (running out of oil / destroying the planet)
