Vinfast Lac Hong Design
The newly launched 800S and 900S expands the Lac Hong portfolio, and the EVs are positioned as the company’s global ultra-luxury EV segment. The cars portray the Vietnamese cultural reference, incorporating design cues inspired by bamboo, the Lac bird and motifs derived from the Dong Son bronze drum.
The grille of the EV features upright slats reminiscent of bamboo stalks, while the wing-inspired badge symbolises the mythical Lac bird. The decorative patterns of the ultra-luxury EV reflect terraced rice fields, and traditional art is integrated across exterior and interior surfaces. The nameplate of the EV is also finished in a gold-plated alloy with a calligraphic design.
