New Lagonda

Aston-Martin is a production-based sports car, production line is relatively simple. At present, lots of sports car factories switch their eyes to SUV. Porsche cayenne is a classic example. This made Aston-Martin could hardly sit still, and it plans to introduce a SUV. Aston Martin shocked the Geneva motor show, and it unveiled the Lagonda Concept, a V12-engined SUV. It’s the fruit of a new collaboration between Aston and Mercedes-Benz, which will provide the 4x4 hardware and engine tech-from the Merc GL SUV. The Lagonda Concept is based on the four-wheel drive chassis of Mercedes GL, so it’s four-wheel drive, but unlike its donor car, the Lagonda version seats just four and features a V12 engine up front.
But to pacify those with a conscience, Aston Martin promises it is ‘committed to innovative new propulsion technologies’, so Mercedes or another supplier will provide alternative powertrains such as flexi-fuels, hybrids and diesels. It is not a finished car though- Lagonda won’t have a production car on the road for at least three years.
