The coupe was ordered by a Vietnamese car importer through a US dealer several months ago. GT Diamond series are equipped with especially luxurious interiors and the maximum speed is 318 km/h.
A car connoisseur estimated that the imported Bentley Continental GT is worth $180,000. As the car went through official channels, it will be worth $475,200 after all is said and done (60% import tax, 50% luxury tax, and 10% VAT).
Bentleys are a favorite among Vietnamese connoisseurs. The owner of cosmetics firm Shiseido Vietnam Le Hoai Anh owns a red Bentley Continental Flying Spur that arrived in Vietnam on November 24.
Car dealers say a brand new Bentley Continental Flying Spur 2008 is valued at $448,773, after tax.
In early 2007, there was the rumor that a used Bentley Continental was sold by Hoang Trong Company to an anonymous Mr. K for $500,000.
