The Aston Martin Lagonda Taraf, often known by the sobriquet "the finest of fast cars", is a full-size luxury car with four doors that was manufactured in 2015 and 2016 by the British carmaker Aston Martin under its Lagonda marque. Aston Martin began developing the car in February 2014 at its design studio in Gaydon, Warwickshire; development was completed eight months later, and the design of the car was done by Marek Reichman. The car debuted in Dubai in December 2014, and production began in early 2015 at the Gaydon production facility. Initially, Aston Martin planned to manufacture 100 units exclusively for the Middle Eastern market, but the plan expanded to include other markets and a total of 120 cars were produced. The Taraf features an aluminium structure and a carbon fibre exterior, giving it a weight comparable to the significantly shorter Aston Martin Rapide. Manufacture of the Taraf ended at the end of 2016. (Full article...)
