Aston Martin Cygnet to go into production in 2011

Aston Martin has revealed the Cygnet, a reworked, upscale version of the Toyota iQ city car, will go into production in 2011.

“Our customers need a small car for urban and city use and they want the rig t tools for the right job, to downsize creatively without compromising intelligence, artistry and personality,” Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez said.

Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s director of design, says that each Cygnet will be personalized with various materials, colours and textures.

“The Cygnet is small but luxurious, an Aston Martin tailor-fit for the city,” Reichman said. “Luxury is not constrained by scale.”

The Cygnet will be produced at Aston Martin’s Gaydon headquarters in Warwickshire, England and will be the 8th major production car Aston Martin have produced at the factory since 2004.

Aston Martin plans to sell about 4,000 Cygnets a year, at a price of about 30,000 euros. Further details on pricing and specification will be announced later this year.
