This is the third time this special license plate has appeared on a different model.
Previously, this five-digit 8 license plate was registered for the Kia Frontier, then switched to the Ford Ranger Raptor pickup truck. This change comes after the new regulations on license plate identification come into effect, allowing owners to reattach the registered license plate to the new vehicle.
According to regulations, license plate identification helps vehicle owners to keep the issued license plate, regardless of the vehicle type. Thanks to that, many beautiful license plates that were once on popular vehicles have been converted to high-end or sports cars. The case of this license plate is a typical example of this trend.
Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4MATIC+ belongs to the high-performance sports car line, with a 4-door coupe style. The car is equipped with a twin-turbocharged I6 3.0L engine, combined with mild-hybrid EQ Boost technology, for a capacity of 435 horsepower and a maximum torque of 520 Nm. The 9-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G automatic transmission with full-time 4-wheel drive helps the car achieve strong acceleration and flexible operation.
In the segment, Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4MATIC+ competes directly with rivals such as Porsche Panamera or BMW M6 Gran Coupe. The appearance of this model with a license plate of five 8s has further increased the interest of car enthusiasts in Vietnam.
