Aston
Martin has been readying the Lagonda brand for a relaunch and reinvention for a
number of years and early next decade, will launch both an all-electric sedan
and an all-electric crossover. This vehicle presented by Oscar Johansson is a
futuristic take on what a third model from the company could look like in
concept form.
Known
simply as the Lagonda August, the car is unlike any current Aston Martin model
or recent Lagonda concept. It has been designed as a plush, expensive, and
exotic single-seater that would offer drivers the ultimate in luxury and
privacy.
The
study takes the shape of a huge coupe more akin to a luxury yacht than a
traditional two-door coupe you’ll find on the market. The sleek bodywork is
characterized by a sharp nose and an all-glass canopy allowing for a spacious
cabin for the sole occupant. Covering the wheels is sensual bodywork while at
the rear a single piece of curved glass stretches out from the roof and
connects to a thin LED light bar running the width of the rear.
Johansson’s
unique design carries through to the interior where there is a large
single-seat wrapped in white leather more akin to a lounge chair than the seat
of a car. There is a complete lack of traditional controls, leading us to
believe that the concept has been designed to feature a Level 5 autonomous
driving system.
A
vehicle like this is unlikely to ever be produced by Lagonda or Aston Martin
itself for that matter. Nonetheless, it’s cool to imagine what could be if
money was no object for the British marque.
