Aston Martin shows its other half with new Lagonda Taraf sedan

Now confirmed for availability in Europe, Aston Martin reveals the Lagonda Taraf at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. But with only 200 examples to be made – and none of them expected to come to North America – don’t expect to be seeing much more of it.

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a new Lagonda, but here it is: the Taraf.

Introduced a few months ago in Dubai, the new Aston Martin Lagonda Taraf has since been confirmed for wider availability outside of the Middle East – including Europe, though sadly not North America – and is making its major show debut here in Geneva.

The Lagonda Taraf is based on familiar technology – built on Aston Martin’s familiar VH platform and powered by the company’s ubiquitous 6.0-liter V12 engine – but stretches longer than the more compact Rapide and with completely different styling than we’ve grown accustomed to seeing on modern Astons.

Only 200 examples will be made, priced at what is sure to be a substantial premium befitting its scarcity and the revival of a long-dormant nameplate. All of which means that this represents a rare opportunity to see the new Lagonda up close… at least until Aston cooks up the next model to wear the badge.
