Aston Martin CygNET test: Japan-mini with a noble look


The British sports car manufacturer Aston Martin offers a fuel-efficient small cars with the Aston Martin CygNET. A Toyota IQ is used as basis for the 40,000 euros expensive fuel saver.

Yes, it's madness, output to the 40,000 euros for a rebuilt Toyota IQ. All the more so as the basis for a third is to have and is technically no different. The whole thing is so insane that already 400 copies were sold of the Aston Martin CygNET and the delivery time is now five months.

Where else can small car customers choose 25 different upholstery colours, can make due to the domestic fitted carpets or any gloss paint of the world mix? Blow the prices of bonsai-Aston can not away therefore the typical CygNET customer who has already one or more luxury cars. But its visibility. Where in the presentation of London Rolls Royce and Ferrari are punished with demonstrative non-compliance with the CygNET reaps many thumbs up.
The choice not only because of small due fell on the Toyota IQ. Its proportions with extra-wide snout is ideal for the adaptation of the traditional radiator grill. The more spacious Fiat 500, mini and Ford Ka parted out so quickly. The jewelry box Aston Martin CygNET space is always sufficient for city trips. Two people sit on the richly upholstered armchairs airy, advance the passenger, is also three.
Fortunately the developers of Aston Martin CygNET of the temptation to trim the town car with large wheels and sports suspension on notable DBS resisted. Thanks to the Toyota Series chassis and civil Series 60 tires takes even malicious speed thresholds the CygNET loose. Engine and gearbox not stirred to the Aston Martin developer. In view of the real average speeds in many cities was the temperament of 98 PS of strong limitation as sufficiently classified. As yet another say, Kleiner was unreasonable.
