[1] Built to gauge interest for a 4-door Aston Martin model, the concept was well received, but never went into production as Ford decided that the Lagonda brand would be too expensive to revive due to its relative obscurity outside of the U.K.[2][3] Interior Design by David Wilkie: Colour and materials by Sally Ericson.
The Lagonda Vignale is based on an extended 1990 Lincoln Town Car chassis and uses that car's 4.6 L Ford Modular V8 engine producing 190 hp (142 kW; 193 PS) and 270 lb⋅ft (366 N⋅m) of torque and mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission.
It was planned that a production version of the Lagonda Vignale would utilise a 5,935 cc (5.9 L; 362.2 cu in), 48 valve V12 engine.
It features analine-dyed parchment leather, beech wood and aluminum trim, woolen carpets and headliner, nickel brightwork and rear power operated desks which feature a laptop on one side and a vanity on the other.
