Aston Martin’s Lagonda concept, the British manufacturer’s attempt to bring back the legendary brand, has had quite the tumultuous past. In September, it was announced that the project was going to be stopped, due to negative feedback from the general public and automotive journalists. Now however, it seems the Lagonda is back and will be based on the Mercedes GL platform, according to Ulrich Bez (Aston Martin’s CEO).

At a lecture that took place yesterday in Rotterdam, Bez revealed that the new Lagonda will indeed be built, ending rumors that Aston’s next project will be a new sedan based on the Rapide. He also told the press that the supercar maker plans to manufacture only 22 One-77s.
