by On our roads, an Aston Martin Cygnet “that we deserved,” as they write on social networks, was noticed. It’s about a copy of the subcompact Aston Martin. In the automotive world, this model is called “the most curious Aston” or “a misunderstanding for insane money.”
And all because the initial price of the Aston Martin Cygnet was almost 50 thousand dollars! And that’s despite the fact that the Toyota IQ, on which the British city car is based, cost 4 times less. And few people know that the Cygnet was born only because the English from Aston Martin needed to reduce the average CO2 emissions across the model range…
This is how the “premature” Aston Martin appeared, which was birthed by Toyota, and refined by the Q division by Aston Martin – the same one that creates sports and supercars on individual orders. It should also be noted that Aston Martin Cygnet sales turned out to be 80 times worse than expected. For three years on the market, fewer than 150 people bought the Cygnet… and there is a plus in this (for those who did buy it), after another 10 years, this will be a collectible model. Although even now it is considered a rarity, despite the youth of the model.
5 years ago, in Ukraine, the Aston Martin Cygnet appeared for the first time “with foreign plates,” and recently its clone was noticed in Kyiv. And if you look at the details (which are immediately noticeable), you see a copy of Aston made on the basis of the most ordinary mini Toyota for 5-6 thousand dollars. Not to be, but to seem…
