Aston Martin Lagonda sedan revealed
Aston Martin has revealed official images of the new Lagonda sedan that will be sold only in the Middle-East.
Aston Martin has resurrected its Lagonda nameplate for the production of limited-edition super sedans for the Middle-East.
Previously, pictures of the car were released on Oman Air's website, the cargo division of which was responsible for shipping the car to Oman for hot weather testing. The new Aston Martin Lagonda, which is set to arrive in the Middle-East in 2015, will be made available to customers on an invitation-only basis.
Styling cues come from the V8-engined Lagonda saloon, launched in 1976, which was designed by William Towns.
Underpinning the new car is the company's VH architecture, which is used throughout its current line-up. Official technical details have yet to be released but it is understood that the production models use the 5.9-litre V12 from the Rapide S. In the Rapide, the naturally aspirated V12 produces 550bhp and 63.2kgm, granting a 0-100kph time of less than 5.0sec and a top speed of 306kph. Power will be sent to the rear wheels, most likely via a six-speed ZF automatic transmission.
Official pricing has not been released.
