Limited Edition Aston Martin Lagonda Taraf priced at £696,000 in UK

Kuala Lumpur: Limited edition models always carry high prices with them, so it's definitely no surprise that the Aston Martin Lagonda Taraf would reportedly cost around £696,000 in UK. It would be hand-built for its customers at Aston's Gaydon headquarters as a limited edition of just 200 pieces along with an extensive personalisation which will be offered by the 'Q by Aston Martin' bespoke service. Originally, it was intended only for the Middle East market, but customer demands persuaded the automakers to extend its production to select markets like UK, Singapore, South Africa and in EU-compliant continental Europe.

The Lagonda Taraf would be powered by a 6.0-litre V12 engine, which would be capable of generating a maximum power of 550 hp. Further, it would be mated to a six-speed ZF gearbox which would help it to reach a top speed of 322 kmph. As a part of an extensive testing program, the Lagonda was taken to Oman where it completed a total of 22,530 km in four weeks. The main focus of this testing was to see how it would react to the intolerant heat of Oman, especially the air-conditioning system and interior trims. As expected, the car performed beyond all the expectations.

Aston Martin Design Director Mark Reichman said- “The new model, like its exclusive siblings- One-77 and V12 Zagato, has been created as a piece of exceptional automotive art.” He further added- “It has been designed and developed entirely in keeping with the spirit and ethos of previous Lagonda super saloons- notably the William Towns Lagonda- and as a tribute to this car it proudly bears the Lagonda nameplate.”

Further, its panels are made out of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) consisting of Aston Martin's own patented coating. This coating is made from seven layers of paint along with 21 hours of lacquer and polishing done to it. Moreover, it is bonded to the aluminium surface of the VH platform which helps it to perform better in high temperatures.

Her love for these mean machines is carried over from her childhood. For Charu, Barbies didn't make a place in the list of her favorite toys. Instead she would love to collect those toy cars and would go gaga over them. Dragged into the commerce background earlier, now she has finally found her long lost love with CarBay. With a dream to own an Aston Martin one day, she doesn't get tired researching about other automakers too.
