Do you actually know the Aston Martin Cygnet? And NO he is not built in China! 98 hp and approx. 3 m long. Leather seats, Alcantara, a massive shift gate and a badge “Handcrafted in England”. Of course that's Aston Martin Charme, but somehow it isn't. The solution: The Cygnet is nothing more than a revamped Toyota iQ which at that time was only supposed to reduce the fleet consumption of the eight and twelve-cylinder cars. And just such a Cygnet was now the basis for a one-off piece with a thick V8.
The vehicle was built for an eccentric customer who wants to get to the grocery store and back faster. The 4,7-liter V8 sucker with the Sportshift II transmission of the Vantage S was planted, and in addition there was a roll cage, a completely reinforced body, a new transmission tunnel and also a few changes to the bodywork. Here you install fat Carbon wheel arch extensions all around, a hood with air vents and chic 19 inch alloy wheels. Combined with many other little details, the one-time upgrade means that the Cygnet accelerates to 4,2 km / h in just 100 seconds and reaches a top speed of a hefty 274 km / h.
The feeling of the proverbial "Rode on the cannonball" included. If we receive more details about the changes in a timely manner, there will of course be an update for this report.
