ASTON MARTINLagonda 1986 - 1989

　　Introduced in 1974, the Aston Martin Lagonda was a 4-door luxurious sedan designed for the wealthiest.

　　During its 13 years of life, the Lagonda received a single facelift for its third generation if 1986.

　　The Lagonda had a pretty weird design from day 1, being wide, flat and pointy in the front. People considered it ugly at the time.

　　However, Aston introduced the facelift with the aim of changing the razor-like exterior design, giving it a more roundish look.

　　Inside, the Lagonda featured the same luxurious and perfectly crafted interior. It was the first production car to feature a digital instrument panel which displayed the gear, the speed, the engine temperature and others. The screen was also reactive, showing different warnings such as an open trunk lid or the high beam sign.

　　Rather unusual, a giant flat switch panel was installed at the left of the steering wheel, full of different toggle switches.

　　While today most features might look dated, the Lagonda was then equipped with cutting edge technology.

　　No changes were made under the hood, the Lagonda still featuring the 5.3-liter V8 engine that developed 300 hp and 406 Nm.

　　Something people wouldn’t have expected in the 80s, the Lagonda was equipped with an electric fuel door on both sides, thus fueling the sedan was easier.

　　The luxurious saloon featured the Lagonda badge instead of the Aston Martin’s.
