The once-famous supercar Aston Martin DB9 Volante once appeared in Ha Tinh, now in Saigon and belongs to a tycoon of the city.

Aston Martin is not a very familiar brand in the South because in the early days of supercars coming to Vietnam, this British brand was often concentrated in Hanoi. DB9 Volante is one of them. |
 |
The car mentioned in the article appeared in Ha Tinh about 5 months ago. Recently, it was rolling on the streets of Saigon with a Ho Chi Minh City license plate. |
 |
DB9 Volante is the Vantage's senior but one step below DBS and Vanquish. The mid-range price and eye-catching design make this car model popular with Vietnamese tycoons. |
 |
When it first arrived in Vietnam, the Aston Martin DB9 Volante cost around $185,000. If options were added, the car’s value would often be over $200,000. After taxes and fees were added, the car would cost around $10 billion. |
