Minh Nhua first "drove" McLaren Elva worth nearly 190 billion in Ho Chi Minh City

On May 4, 2025, supercar player Pham Tran Nhat Minh, also known by his nickname Minh Nhua, shared about driving his million-dollar McLaren Elva supercar on the street nearly 4 years after purchasing it.

The weather in Ho Chi Minh City this morning is quite nice, suitable for a roofless supercar like the McLaren Elva to hit the streets. This will also be the first time this McLaren Elva supercar worth nearly 190 billion VND will roll on the streets, promising to receive a lot of attention from car enthusiasts.

The story of Minh Nhua's McLaren Elva without a roof, windows, or rear windshield has been a hot topic of discussion for the online community for nearly 4 years, from the time this player met the Elva on display, to the process of depositing to buy the car, revealing the amount of money he spent 143 billion VND until the car arrived in the country but could not be registered for the past 2 years.

But later, Minh Nhua revealed that the price of the McLaren Elva he had to pay was up to 8 million dollars (equivalent to nearly 190 billion VND), much higher than the previously revealed figure of 143 billion VND.

The McLaren Elva supercar was originally planned to produce 399 cars, but was later adjusted down by 100 cars to only 299 cars, and the British car company also adjusted it down to only 149 cars.

In addition to the most impressive design among McLaren cars produced without a hood or windows, the Elva supercar is still equipped with a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 engine similar to the McLaren 720S, McLaren 720S Spider and the McLaren Senna hypercar of Hoang Kim Khanh.

This "heart" will bring a maximum capacity of 804 horsepower and maximum torque of 800 Nm to the McLaren Elva, all the internal power of the car will be transmitted to the rear axle through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, thanks to which the super product known as McLaren's 4-zero can accelerate from a standing start to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds.
