Although not easily recognizable as an Aston Martin at first blush, our spies did some digging and discovered that the vehicle’s registration belongs to the British supercar maker. The vehicle was also spotted along Aston’s typical testing loop.
That registration also revealed that this prototype is powered by the same 5.9L V12 found under the hood of the Aston Martin Rapide S.
Of course Aston Martin isn’t saying much about the mystery prototype, but the UK’s CAR Magazine speculates that the sedan is being developed by the automaker’s Q division. Typically tasked with customizing Aston Martin’s regular production vehicles, Q has also dabbled in coach building, such as the limited production CC100.
The prototype is believed to be based on a stretched version of the Rapide’s platform. The sedan’s body work is said to be mostly constructed of carbon fiber.
The four-door could be badged as a Lagonda, although it won’t mark the official revival of the brand.
Aston’s plans for the sedan remain unknown, but an extremely limited production run seems likely. Expect a price tag to match its exclusivity.
