2009 Aston Martin Lagonda Concept Celebrates 100 Years Of Car Production Under The Lagonda Brand

2009 Aston Martin Lagonda Concept

Aston Martin is proud to announce the return of Lagonda, one of the most iconic names in luxury car manufacturing. The intention is for Lagonda to enter the market place with a unique performance luxury product, a vehicle that combines exceptional ability with unsurpassed elegance, inside and out. The LAGONDA CONCEPT is an avant-garde luxury vehicle; with powerful four-wheel drive, a four-seater car that will satisfy the most discerning and demanding owner. The concept demonstrates a commitment to innovative new propulsion technologies, new materials and elegant forms. 'The Lagonda is the luxury car of the future,' says Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr Ulrich Bez, 'a combination of total usability, a new form and innovative new technology and materials.

The return of Lagonda fulfils a long-term vision. Aston Martin's modern era began in 2001 with the launch of the V12 Vanquish and the construction of the award-winning headquarters at Gaydon, Warwickshire in 2003. In the years that followed, Aston Martin has launched four class-leading new products, revitalising the performance GT category and redefining automotive beauty.An Aston Martin will always be a sports car; modern, exclusive and beautiful, it demands to be driven, with an exceptional character that rewards the enthusiast, both on the road and on the track. Above all, an Aston Martin creates an emotional response.

Under the leadership of Dr Ulrich Bez, Lagonda will bring performance luxury into new markets and territories around the world. Reflecting its remarkable history, Lagonda will return to Russia, enter emerging markets in the Middle East, South America, India and China, as well as responding to demand from the dynamic, innovation-focused consumers of Europe, North America and the Far East.

Lagonda is one of the great names in automotive history, a brand associated with luxury, performance, grace and exclusivity. Since the first Lagonda production car, was built 100 years ago by the American-born Wilbur Gunn, the Lagonda name has undergone several incarnations, before it soon began to excel at creating racing cars and sporting saloons.

Gunn's first car was built in his home workshop in Middlesex, England in 1909. In 1910, Gunn drove his 16/18hp Lagonda Tourer to victory in the Russian Reliability Trial, a spectacular event run by the Imperial Automobile Club of Russia as a public relations exercise for the country's nascent road system. The win brought in many orders, and Gunn focused his attention on the Russian market, establishing dealerships in St Petersburg and Moscow in 1910. The modern Lagonda marries functionalism with luxury, through organic forms, rich materials and complex surfaces. The car is based on an advanced platform that is tailored to accommodate a broad range of future powertrains, including flexfuel, low emission diesel and hybrid systems.

The clear delineation between cabin, shoulder and flank is strongly reminiscent of the powerful and evocative lines of the 1930s era Lagondas, in particular the V12-engined version of the LG6. Viewed from the front of the concept, the deep, strong grille also evokes the presence and frontage of the cars from the inter-war era. The bold character lines that run along the sculpted flanks to the rear ensure the concept is planted firmly on the road. The large 22" wheels and cut-away bodywork offer exceptional ground clearance, while the concept's V12 engine delivers power through all four wheels.

Not only will Lagonda join Aston Martin in existing core markets, but the unique character of the new brand will help take the company into as many as 100 territories around the world and extend the brand to new customers. "An Aston Martin is an authentic, pure sports car," says Dr Ulrich Bez, "but Lagonda is something else, a new brand that will reach into new markets and have different values to Aston Martin."

Lagonda's history is long and eventful, encompassing two of the most significant figures in twentieth century British engineering, W.O.Bentley and David Brown, racing glory and some of the most dramatic designs in automotive history.

Brabus GLK - the fastest SUV in the world

When the light appeared Mercedes GLK, no one doubted that sooner or later, this car will draw attention to tuning-studio Brabus. How could it be otherwise, Brabus «is pumping" virtually the entire range of Mercedes? However, what is done with the machine craftsmen from the town of Bottrop, did not expect, it seems, nobody.
As you know, the fastest SUV in the world until recently was a Brabus ML63 Biturbo. The car could accelerate to 310 km / h, thus becoming the "king of speed" among mass-produced sport utility vehicles. Even popular in Russia in a certain category of citizens Gemballa GT750 Aero 3 is not able to withstand the pressure of brabusovskogo monster, stumbling on a mark in the 306 km / h. It would seem, to overthrow 63 Biturbo Brabus ML from the throne in the near future by anyone.



But the trouble came from there, where nobody was waiting. At the time, until Brabus ML 63 Biturbo suit their record "races" and otherwise humiliated by rivals in the model range Mercedes appeared beginner - a compact SUV GLK. It is such a harmless teenager, four and a half feet from nose to tail, and all sort of awkwardly-square-faceted. Such a fit mud puddle, as his famous grandfather "Gelendvagenu" and not to rush to racetracks. But everything happened exactly the opposite.


Well, who could imagine that in the hood space that nedomerka Brabus engineers will be able to stuff his famous 6.3-liter, twelve-bi-turbo engine of 750 hp and torque of a shock in 1350 "Newton"? And it packed! In order five-step "automatic" is not shattered into pieces, trying to digest all these newton-meters, the box has been reinforced, and torque limited at 1100 N • m Of course, remaking the same cooling system and subjected to the exhaust system.
Machine for Brabus traditionally painted a black color, under the thresholds established LED backlight and deprived of all unmarked Mercedes and even a name. And instead given a new - Brabus GLK V12. In addition, the car got a new bumper, grille, hood, dodger, spoiler and got the original 22-inch Brabus Monoblock wheels and low-profile tires Pirelli dimension 285/25 R22. Beauty is trimmed with leather with carbon inserts, installed a new speedometer scale up to 330 km / h, and the thresholds decorated plates of stainless steel with neon lights. Then Brabus GLK V12 went to Italy at the famous track Nardo, where he was able to overclock to 322.3 km / h. First hundred machine wins for 4,2 s and the second with a 12.8. But the main thing - it is the title of king of speed.

Go is to say that to stand in line for the Brabus GLK V12 mere mortals do not make sense, because the price of the machine is 397 000 euros ($ 580 000). And it is in Germany. Of course, Brabus GLK V12 can be bought in Russia, but, in view of customs clearance and dealer markups, the price will generally beyond the clouds. However, rich people like "stuff" are unlikely to care about.

Ferrari began to make cars to order

Ferrari unveiled the first pictures of yet another of his unique car, which was built in a single copy. At this time his client was Uolson Edward, son of John Uolsona, which the U.S. considered the inventor of the cable television.

The new car was named Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta - it is based on the explanation of the machine from the movie "Three steps in the delirium of 1968 (the painting consists of three novellas, which stripped Roger Vadim, Federico Fellini and Louis Malle). It is based on the platform of the modern supercar 599 GTB Fiorano (and under the hood is a standard 12-cylinder unit volume of 6.0 liters, which delivers 620 hp). But the appearance of the model is made from scratch. It is the development of the body and demanded the most effort. But in general, to build this unique vehicle went not so much time - 14 months. And that given the fact that every step designers were forced to negotiate with the customer.

The new BMW 1-series. She gets three cylinder Auto

BMW began testing a new generation 1-series, which premieres at approximately 2011. This car continues to maintain the drive to the rear axle (thus, child will be the only model in the segment "C" with rear wheel drive). As for the design it seems to be not too different from the current 1-Series.


However, we can expect a surprise under the hood. According to foreign media, BMW 1-Series new generation can get not only the 4 - and 6-cylinder units, but a small 3-cylinder motor. However, the latter will have a turbocharging system that will provide him a power of around 120-140 hp
Why the Bavarian company to put on their cars 3-cylinder units? The answer is simple - the environment. 3-cylinder "kopek" will be the most economical BMW, besides also the cheapest. And it can provide a good model of the demand. In addition, it may be noted that previously appeared rumors that the 3-cylinder engines will and under the hood Audi A3.

Price of diesel cars set to soar (UK)

If you think the premium for diesel cars is expensive now, wait until 2015 – when it will run into many thousands of pounds.

That's the prediction of Dr Thomas Weber, head of Group Research and Mercedes-Benz cars development, who says diesel vehicles will need expensive adaptation to meet Euro VI emissions standards being introduced in 2015. The move to Euro V emissions standards has already added costs to the production of diesel cars, with the need for costly fuel injectors and, in many cases, particulate filters.

Weber says: 'Exhaust treatment for Euro VI will add thousands to the cost of diesels in the factory. If, as a manufacturer, you want to be the market leader, you'll need to have a hybrid, too, which will add thousands more.'

The costs that diesel-car production will have to absorb means alternatively fuelled vehicles, such as Mercedes' B-Class F-Cell hydrogen fuel-cell will become more affordable when compared with diesel-powered vehicles.

Although questions remain over the production, transportation and storage of hydrogen, Weber says: 'We are deeply convinced it's an important technology and the right way forward.' While Weber does not rule out other technology, he believes that, in the long term, hydrogen will become cheaper than fossil fuels.

He predicts hydrogen will eventually fall from €8 to stabalise at around €3 (£2.70) a kilo which is enough to travel approximately 60 miles. There are no immediate plans to bring the fuel cell Mercedes to the UK, but 100 customers will soon lease the new Smart Electric Drive in this country.

The Smart is another strand of Weber's future fuel strategy.

Bugatti Veyron Nocturne

Bugatti shows three new special editions of their Bugatti Veyron and Veyron Grand Sport at the Dubai Motor Show today which are exclusively build for the Middle East market. The three special editions consist of one Grand Sport and two regular Veyron models. Like previous special editions, the three editions shown in Dubai feature special exterior and interior colours and use of special materials like magnesium and platinum.

The Bugatti Veyron Nocturne is the first of these special editions and is limit to just five pieces.

Bugatti Veyron Nocturne – Price €1.65 M

Special Bugatti Veyrons

Watch out MX-5 and Elise - the Bugatti Veyron is well on its way to becoming the most special editioned car yet. After the Pur Sang, Sang Bleu, Centenaire et al comes this rather shiny and expensive trio.

First up is the Nocturne (main pic). It’s based on the Veyron coupe, with a combination of polished aluminium and a black finish on the outside, and an extravagant interior that boasts a nanocoated magnesium dashboard and galvanised platinum centre console. Obviously.

Five Veyron Nocturnes will be made, and they’re all bound for the Middle East, although its 1.65million euro (£1.5m) pricetag is probably more of a stumbling block than the geography of its sales plan.

It's on display at the Dubai motor show alongside two even more limited edition Veyrons. There’s the Sang d’Argent coupe – silver paint and aluminium outside, quilted and personalised seats inside – and the Soleil de Nuit Grand Sport cabrio, which mixes blue/black paint with mirrored finishes on the exterior and has a contrasting burnt orange interior.

Both are one-offs (although that’s perhaps for the best), priced at around 1.5million euros each (£1.35m). As usual, the changes are cosmetic meaning the Veyron’s ‘regular’ 16-cylinder 8-litre engine remains untouched. With 1000bhp on tap and a 253mph top speed, that’s probably no bad thing…
