Aston reveals production Lagonda

Born-again Lagonda limo presented in final road-ready form

Aston Martin has released images of the final production version of the limited-edition V12 luxury limousine that revives the Lagonda name, at least in the Middle East.

The 21st Century Lagonda appears virtually identical to the prototype vehicle shown earlier this month by Aston Martin and Oman Air, which transported the vehicle to the Middle East for hot-weather desert testing.
Based on the VH chassis architecture of Aston's flagship Rapide sedan, but riding on a 199mm-long (3.19m) wheelbase, the Lagonda wears a carbonfibre-reinforced plastic body featuring a flatter roofline that cossets two more spacious rear seats.
Unlike the five-door Rapide 'liftback', the Lagonda is a genuine booted sedan, with a body that extends to almost 5.4 metres, making it 378mm longer than the Rapide.
Befitting its positioning as a luxury limousine aimed at just 100 well-heeled Middle East customers, Aston Martin's bespoke Q division was called upon to fit swathes of diamond-quilted leather and a host of other cosmetic upgrades.
No mechanical details have been announced, but the Lagonda should be powered by a version of the 412kW/630Nm 5.9-litre V12 found in the Rapide S, which drives its rear wheels with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
