Aston Martin Lagonda

[Canadian Turbo]

Following last month’s teaser, Aston Martin has released several images with a pre-production Lagonda sedan being transported to Oman via Oman Air for testing purposes.

Described by its designer Marek Reichmann as being an "exceptional automotive art", the Aston Martin Lagonda is a limited-run super sedan built by the firm's Q bespoke division and will be offered exclusively to Middle Eastern customers at a yet undisclosed price tag. It rides on the firm's VH platform also used on the Rapide and comes with carbon fiber body panels to shave off weight.

Aston Martin hasn't said anything about the engine but it is believed to be a V12 6.0-liter with around 600 bhp (447 kW) sent to the rear axle through an eight-speed automatic transmission which should grant the Lagonda with a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in approximately 4.2 seconds.

Deliveries of the exclusive Aston Martin Lagonda are programmed to kick off in the first part of next year and less than 100 units are planned for production.

I love the styling of Aston Martins but am not fond of this one. The aluminum trim on the rear makes the A$$ look wide and flat. If it is bespoke automotive art, where's the Aston curve?

Some official details and pics

Aston Martin has released several images with the Lagonda verification prototype which is currently undergoing testing in Oman.

Created exclusively for the Middle East, Aston Martin's Lagonda revival adopts an angular throwback design with a modern twist and will be available to customers only on an invitation basis. This is a verification prototype which in the next four weeks will conduct testing in Oman and in the process will cover around 14,000 miles (22,530 km) before heading back to UK for additional tests.

The carbon fiber-bodied Lagonda uses Rapide's VH platform and will be built in a limited series of less than 100 units and all will have an updated V12 6.0-liter engine producing an estimated 600 bhp (447 kW) delivered to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox helping the high-powered sedan reach 62 mph (100 km/h) from a standstill in around 4.2 seconds.

Pricing for the "exceptional automotive art" as described by designer Marek Reichmann hasn't been disclosed but you can imagine it won't come cheap since Aston Martin says it performs "beyond expectations" and will be built to meet a "specific market demand."
