It is the second car model from Vietnam to make an appearance at a prestigious international motor show, following the SUV Lux SA2.0 which was showcased at the Paris Motor Show in October 2018.

VinFast Manufacturing and Trading Co., Ltd., is a subsidiary of the Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup.

The presence of Vietnamese cars at important global automobile events has demonstrated VinFast’s passion to conquer international markets.

The VinFast Lux V8, with a 6.2L V8 engine, has improved on the SUV Lux SA2.0 and is expected to be available to the public for a limited time in 2020.

First held in 1950, the GISM is an auto show held each year in March in the Swiss city of Geneva.

This year’s edition will run through until March 17. The event’s press days run until March 6, welcoming visitors from the following day onwards.
