VinFast delivers Lạc Hồng fleet for international leaders at Vietnam’s 80th National Day celebration

HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 August 2025 - VinFast has officially handed over a special fleet of Lạc Hồng 900 LX vehicles, built to serve international heads of state, to Vietnam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Vietnam's National Day (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025).



Lạc Hồng 900 LX

The Lạc Hồng 900 LX is a limited-edition flagship model that embodies Vietnam's cultural heritage and national pride, symbolizing the "Fierce Vietnamese Spirit." The vehicle is offered in two variants, including an armored edition certified to the VPAM VR7 standard - the world's most stringent protection levels for state leaders' vehicles.

Inspired by the Vietnamese legend of the "Descendants of the Dragon and Fairy" (Con Lạc cháu Hồng), the Lạc Hồng 900 LX reflects the capability, intelligence, and aspirations of the Vietnamese people in the new era. Every design detail blends cultural legacy with global standards.

Both variants, Standard and Armored, feature a commanding and luxury presence with a 3,349 mm wheelbase and exterior details celebrating Vietnam's heritage: a gold-plated logo shaped like the mythical Lạc bird, a grille reminiscent of Đông Sơn bronze drums, and parallel grille bars symbolizing Vietnam's iconic bamboo groves.

The cabin is crafted with premium materials such as Golden Nanmu wood, Nappa leather, and genuine gold detailing. Every gold-plated element inside and outside the vehicle is handcrafted with meticulous precision. The interior offers world-class comfort with extra-wide executive seating, premium footrests, a soundproof glass partition, electric curtains, and an advanced intercom system between the front and rear cabins.

The Armored Edition is developed in partnership with INKAS Armored Vehicle Manufacturing (Canada), a leading global name in armored car, features reinforced and fully-armored bodywork, bullet-resistant glass, and an armored rear partition. The vehicle underwent rigorous testing at Beschussamt Ulm (Germany), enduring 440 live rounds and 11 explosive blasts from beneath and above the vehicle. Certified to VPAM VR7, it can withstand NATO Ball M80 rifle ammunition and DM51 grenades.

Additional safety and emergency features include run-flat tires capable of driving 80-100 km after puncture, optional onboard oxygen supply, integrated fire suppression system, satellite phone, warning lights, and sirens, etc... depending on mission requirements.

The first fleet of Lạc Hồng 900 LX delivered to Vietnam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs includes two Armored units and ten Standard units, affirming the vehicles' quality, safety, and craftsmanship at the highest international level.

Mr. Nguyễn Việt Quang, Vice Chairman and CEO of Vingroup, stated: "After eight years in the automotive industry, VinFast is proud to have become a pioneering brand that brings Vietnamese excellence, intelligence, and technology to the world, earning the trust and recognition of customers in many countries. With the launch of the Lạc Hồng 900 LX, we reaffirm our role as a national brand that elevates Vietnam's position on the global stage. Through this model, we hope the world will see a modern and developed Vietnam that has had a remarkable journey during the past 80 years."

The debut of this special vehicle line, rich in national identity, at the historic celebration of the 80th anniversary of Vietnam's National Day, is a powerful declaration of Vietnamese spirit, intelligence, and class. Every movement of the Lac Hong 900 LX serves not only as proof of the country's industrial and technological achievements after 80 years of independence, but also as a national symbol, helping to shape a new position for Vietnam on the international stage./.

Experience the Lạc Hồng 900 LX: The Lạc Hồng 900 LX will be on display at the exhibition "80 Years of Independence - Freedom - Happiness" from August 28 to September 5, 2025 at the National Exhibition Fair Center (Đông Anh, Hanoi). Visitors can view the tested Armored Edition at Vingroup's outdoor pavilion (West Square) and the Standard Edition at the indoor exhibition hall H3, Kim Quy Pavilion.
