Aston Martin Lagonda
The Aston Martin Lagonda is a four-door luxury sedan made by Aston Martin in the United Kingdom from 1976 to 1990 (Series 2 onward). Its weirdest quirk: It was the first production car with a digital instrument panel. Series 2 cars launched with digital displays and touch-button controls, and the Series 3 switched to cathode-ray tubes, which proved even less reliable.
William Towns' razor-edged wedge of a sedan. Only 645 were built in total, and its electronics are as famous as its shape.
