2011 Aston Martin Cygnet
Aston Martin announced today that the Cygned, a luxurious version of the Toyota iQ, will go into production in 2011. As you may know already, the Aston Martin Cygnet made its debut in the concept form at this year’s Geneva Motor Show and made quite a buzz among car lovers. The car is just less than 10 feet long and will be produced at Aston Martin's Gaydon headquarters in Warwickshire.
"Our customers need a small car for urban and city use and they want the right tools for the right job, to downsize creatively without compromising intelligence, artistry and personality," said Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez. This is the main reason that made Aston Martin build this car. Although prices were not released yet, several sources said that the upcoming car will be priced from $30,000.
Regarding the engine, do not expect this small city car to be powerful, because it will use a 1.3-liter engine delivering 98 hp, same used by the Toyota iQ. According to Aston Martin, the Cygnet emits just 110 grams of CO2/km and has a fuel consumption of 58.9 mpg (4l/100km). As the concept did, the production version of the Cygnet will offer three configurations: 2+2, 2+1 and 2 seating options. Some of the features expected to be found inside are a satellite navigation system, an iPod integration and a premium audio system. [via AutoWeek]
