aston_martin_cygnet

Aston Martin today releases (16th December 2009) the first official images of the ‘Cygnet’ – a new luxury commuter concept car.

The Cygnet concept represents a creative, environmentally conscious solution, being small, yet with presence – and highly fuel efficient, now combined with the prestige of Aston Martin’s luxury brand ownership.

Work on the concept is ongoing and will continue into 2010 when it is hoped that it will become a production reality initially available to Aston Martin customers in the UK and Europe.

A savoir absolument avant de commander (from Sport-Auto and bugatti.com):

- 4 pneus à changer tous les 4000 km, ou de suite à une session en mode high-speed (dépassement des 400 km/h – Topspeed key) = 28.000 Euro
- 4 jantes à changer tous les 12.000 km = 34.000 Euro
- 0 à 400 km/h en moin de 56 secondes, 400 à 0 km/h en moin de 10 secondes: je fais juste un p’tit 0-400, 400-0, j’en ai pour une minute…
