Motor Trend – Million Dollar Four-Door 2016 Lagonda Taraf Review – Video

 

Jonny Lieberman celebrates the 150th episode of Ignition in style, by driving the new Lagonda Taraf around Great Britain. A hand-built, one-million dollar sedan built by Aston Martin in the same skunkworks workshop where they built the One-77. Only 200 examples will ever exist. The Taraf sports carbon-fiber body panels, a high-strung 540 horsepower V-12, and more rear seat room than a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. But is there anyway any sedan is worth one-million bucks? Watch and find out!
