2016 Lagonda Taraf - Nicholas Mee & Company, Aston Martin Specialists

Published 10th March 2021. The Lagonda Taraf, introduced at the Geneva International Motor Show in 2015, a super saloon firmly aimed at the Ultra Luxury market and undoubtedly for extremely limited production. When launched the Taraf carried a price tag of a $1 million excluding taxes and was by far most expensive saloon available, in the day. Styled by Aston Martin’s renowned Gaydon studios, under the guidance of design director Marek Reichman and hand-built, in a dedicated facility, previously given over to the creation of the One-77 hypercar, the quite spectacular Lagonda Taraf, manages to be both perfectly proportioned and sculpturally sophisticated, whilst simultaneously being both spectacular and yet, restrained. The unique bodywork of this elegant super limousine is formed from Carbon Fibre and Aluminium. Constructed on Aston Martins highly adaptable all aluminium VH chassis architecture, configured for the Lagonda Taraf’s extensive wheelbase, creating a spacious and sumptuous rear compartment, capable of carrying its occupant’s in great comfort. Powered by the legendary Aston Martin V12 engine, producing a mighty 540 BHP, transmitted through Aston Martin’s unique 8 speed TT3 automatic transaxle gearbox, the specification combines. to provide a top speed in excess of 190 mph with 0-60 mph arriving in 4.4 seconds. Beautifully finished in Onyx Black metallic paintwork with a Winter Wheat and Obsidian Black Caithness hide Interior, the luxurious and comprehensive equipment of the Taraf, is further complemented by a Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 1,000W audio system and a refrigerated rear stowage compartment, whilst distinctive Tamo Ash wood veneered door and facia finishers and twin rear entertainment screens, complete the refined interior specifications. Built in 2016, in Left Hand Drive configuration, the Lagonda Taraf is in all probability, the last Lagonda model to be built and powered by the internal combustion engine and is therefore something of a landmark in the long and illustrious history of Lagonda motor cars, the company having been founded in 1906. No longer available to order, we understand less than 60 examples were manufactured before production ceased, of which this unmarked example, is one. Available having covered only 150 Kilometres from new, this imposing and exclusive ‘super sports saloon’, is indistinguishable from new and is certain, to create a wave of interest, when and wherever, it arrives. Available now at our Hertfordshire showrooms. Full details available here: https://www.nicholasmee.co.uk/car-sal...​

The Beast of Bodmin
  • Published 14th September 2017. "The chill should be unexpected - this is August, after all. However, it is approaching midnight... it's pitch black... and that howl is freaking us out a bit. We've been invited down to Bugle in Cornwall, England, by the founder of Toniq Ltd, Colin Williams. I've known (of) Toniq and Colin for a decade or so - one of those people you frequently miss by a few minutes; in our case either at a race track, car show or somewhere else that smells of rubber and petrol. An acquaintance that until now was formed over phone calls and internets, fertilized by a mutual love for the lightweight sports car. Finally we've shaken each others' hands, and I'm sat in the Toniq CB200 wearing a helmet, in the pitch black, parked in a huge puddle. It's strange for a first meet, sure, but I've had worse nights. The effort of getting into the root of England, deep into Cornwall, makes this late-night shenanigan all the more dramatic, like having to work a bit harder to get the good reward, and despite the fact myself and the rest of the crew having been on the road for over ten hours (and severely beneath our expected quota of motorway-service-grub) we're still wide awake. This is an exciting shoot. And it's exciting because of the car. The Toniq is not like other cars. The comparison with a Caterham is predictable, and one Colin is well-experienced in having to answer, but under the skin of this CB is a whole new car. Don't be fooled by the 2010 number plate, the gubbins under that silver and orange façade are as fresh as 'going commando'. This very car is set to become the next generation of Toniq, and set to take them up a notch or two in people's estimations. The handling balance is incredibly well thought out and the weight distribution precisely 50/50 (with the right fuel load). With a kerb weight practically measured in grammes, plus tyres with more grip than a chav on a cheap TV during Black Friday, I know this is a beast which is ready to thrash..."
