Aston Martin Lagonda is back

This is the new Aston Martin Lagonda, yet another ridiculously luxurious and exclusive super saloon that you can’t buy, unless your passport states that you’re a permanent resident of the Middle East. Even then, you can’t drive home in one, not as long as Aston Martin doesn’t deem you worthy enough to own one.

In terms of styling, the Lagonda takes inspiration from the much sought-after William Towns-designed Lagonda saloon from 1976, and that explains its long, sleek and low stance. Engine specs are still a mystery, but we won’t be surprised to see an uprated version of the 550bhp, 6.0-litre V12 from the Rapide S. As for the price, only people who have received a formal invitation would be able to confirm that.

Zagato does Aston... again

        Zagato brings out the Aston Martin Virage Shooting Brake to complete 
                             Aston’s titanium jubilee-celebrating trilogy

Aston turned 100 in 2013, and if you thought the celebrations had ended, you’d be absolutely wrong. Why? Because Zagato has revealed images (and a few details) of its latest one-off model that’s a part of  Gaydon’s 100th birthday bash.

It’s called the Aston Martin Virage Shooting Brake Zagato, and as we said, only one unit will ever exist. If you think you can barter your life’s savings for this model, sorry, you can’t. This one already belongs to a gentleman in Europe.

Not many details are available, but you won’t be wrong in assuming that it has the same 6.0-litre V12 engine with an output identical to that of the regular Virage. We’re not really fond of the new SB’s backside, though. Rarely hear that about Italian models, do we?
