Aston Martin Lagonda Continued In The Plans

Finally, Aston Martin ended the question: the Lagonda, prototype unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2009 will be a production car. Contrary to recent rumors that the British would mark up the project, a spokesman said the development of the car was not abandoned, just off put on hold. “It was constantly in our long-term plans, not just an immediate action. We never canceled the Lagonda,” said the spokesman.

However, Aston Martin says that we will not see the Lagonda ready before 2012, the most optimistic forecasts. Part of this delay is due to the necessity of the brand establish a larger factory, which include the production of a platform and new engines. It is estimated that the base of Lagonda is the Mercedes-Benz GL. Currently present in 35 countries, Aston Martin set to expand its reach with the arriver of Lagonda. “I trust we can be present in more than 100 markets worldwide,” said CEO of the brand, Dr Ulrich Bez.
