Aston Martin Lagonda
July 9, 2009
Built between 1976 and 1989, designed by William Towns, inspired by Giugiaro wedge designs. The Lagonda was the first production car to use computer mangement and the instrument panel was populated with CRT monitors instead of standard guages. The development cost for the electronics alone on the Lagonda came to 4 times as much as the budget for the whole car. These ground breaking features led to legendary reliablity issues. The price of the car averaged around 150,000
