The rise of new firms in the automotive sector it only encourages a sector that is already very atomized (with a high number of members). In this case, we must speak of a signature that arrives from the distant Vietnam and what is called VinFast. Vingroup is the industrial conglomerate in which it belongs, which is dedicated to activities as varied as civil construction or the hotel sector.
The problem with these brands is the public ignorance, so it is not surprising that for the development or design of their models they have partners of recognized prestige in the sector. In this case, VinFast has decided to rely on the services of the Pininfarina design studio. The choice of this design studio was not by chance, as VinFast carried out a market study in Vietnam where the country's inhabitants voted for design designers like Italdesign or Zagato.
Despite this, the official confirmation of this association has come from the Italian studio, since it has released two teasers in which we can see the evolution that the models that have been commissioned are taking. The first, how could it be otherwise, is a all way (size unknown) and the second one berlina with well-proportioned shapes and dynamic design.
In both models, the design element that marks their personality is their front, because they have some very fine optical groups and a grill that perfectly integrates the "V" that forms the logo of the brand. In any case, both models are still in the development phase, since VinFast is finalizing feasibility studies as they are two models that will initially have a very limited market, as they will only be marketed in Vietnam.
If it becomes a reality, it will be in the year 2019 when they hit the market. In any case, both models are part of a strategic plan that pursues the commercialization of several models for the year 2025. engines that will move both models are unknown, as well as their trade names or the date on which they will be presented to the public. In any case, the work is still at a very early stage, so if complications arise, they still won't be completed.
We will be attentive to new arrivals that can be derived.
