2011 Aston Martin Cygnet
Two new Cygnets from Aston Martin are set to enter the fifth annual Bridgestone Eco-Rally, marking their debut. The Cygnets are intended to be the ultimate city cars and are set to be tailor-fit for urban driving. The Bridgestone Eco-Rally gives spectators and fans the chance to view the Cygnets as they are driven from the heart of Oxford to central London. This rally displays the best eco-friendly vehicles in the world in association with ‘Start’, an initiative whose inspiration came from HRH The Prince of Wales for the celebration of eco-friendly living.
The Cygnet is built to be driven in the city with the best-quality materials and focus on detail. The Cygnet is bespoke and is highly exclusive as it provides options that had not been offered in a small package. Aston Martin claims that the Cygnet emits 116 g/km of carbon emissions and offers a fuel economy rating of 56.5 mpg. Seychelles Blue is the color of the paint for one of the Cygnets that will be seen in this event. This is the same shade as the Aston Martin DB6 Mark II Volante that carried the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their wedding day.
There will also be a third Cygnet that will support the event in ‘Flouro Orange’, which is associated with designer Tom Dixon. The two Cygnets will be driven by Darren Turner, Aston Martin Racing regular, and David King, Aston Martin’s Director of Special Projects and Motorsport. These two Cygnets will be on the extended route that starts from Exeter College, Oxford to The Mall, London.
