Torrential rains in the aftermath of typhoon Yagi, the third storm to hit Vietnam this year, continue to cause flooding in many parts of Hanoi, forcing several auto showrooms in the capital city to relocate their supercars.
On Vietnamese social media, images of supercars being transported on tow trucks are going viral.
The supercars found shelter in trade centers and floating parking lots.
