Good news for lovers of stately British swagsedans: even if you don’t dress wears sets Aston Martin you the opportunity Lagonda Taraf-sedan to buy.
It is a somewhat questionable marketing reflex: a model-exclusive and only for the Middle East launch, and then just coolly on other markets to dump. Aston Martin did it with the revival of the Lagonda name, which initially exclusively for Zandbakkistan was planned. When the car at the end of last year in Belgium was spotted, we got all of our suspicions, and Aston Martin confirm this just.
200 pieces
The Taraf is there now as well as right – or left-rechtsgestuurd model, for the British home market, the European mainland and South Africa. Not that it is a mass product, it is by the way: the numbers to be jacked up to a maximum of 200 pieces. However, a doubling of the original production.
This trick is perhaps a bit dubious, but even so, Aston Martin the last couple of years smart. It works with the outdated Vertical-Horizontal (VH) platform, and can, therefore, perhaps not directly in confrontation with the competition, which are all part of a (much) bigger concern. Therefore, the few high-profile things, such as a DB10 for Bond, and a Vulcan for racelustige wealthy customers. So sings the the time went out, and generates at the same time, nice buzz.
Behind the scenes meanwhile in real news: the next DB9 would we expect in 2016, on a Vantage-successor, we have at least until 2017 to wait.
