Based on the 503bhp Mercedes-AMG GT S, the Edition 1 – which made its formal debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show – receives numerous visual tweaks aimed at keen early adopters. Exterior upgrades include carbonfibre addenda all round, a fixed rear wing in place of the retractable contraption from the GT S, and a yet-unseen alloy wheel design.
Once a model has reached the hot-weather testing phase (as the new Lagonda did a few weeks ago), it’s fair to say it would take a rather large spanner to be thrown into the Works to halt production. Clearly, the level of interest from its intended Middle Eastern buyers has proved sufficient to cause no such obstacle, as the Lagonda has been officially green-lighted for production by top brass at Gaydon.
The Brabham name needs little introduction: among numerous other accolades, Sir Jack remains the only driver to have won a World Championship in a car of his own name and make.
