The Aston Martin Lagonda Virage Coupé was a one-off created in 1988 as a test mule for the first generation Aston Martin Virage, which was in development at the time. The Virage mechanicals were concealed beneath the William Towns-designed Lagonda bodywork, which was shortened, changing the car from the standard four-door to a sharply edged two-door coupé. It received the Aston Martin internal ID of DP2034 (DP = Development Project) and received many revisions and improvements. Once its work as a development mule was done, it was purchased by a collector who had the car rebuilt to resemble the final series 4 Lagonda that was made between 1987 and 1990.
