Also, it’s just taken the Concorso d’Eleganza Design Award at Villa d’Este. Though some may complain the roof line is a bit too GT-R and the back resembles that of a Ferrari more than a cherished Aston Martin… We love it! An endurance racing version will compete in next month’s Nürburgring 24 hour event. Which is more compeling – the V12 or James Glickenhaus’ P4/5 Competizione?

2009 Aston Martin Lagonda Concept

[/caption] Unfortunately, it looks like last month’s report by Auto Express on Aston Martin’s Lagonda revival ditching the SUV and taking on a svelte sedan appearance is incorrect.
