Aston reveals first launch editions of iQ-based Cygnet

Well, it's not only Gazoo and MN having a play with Toyota's iQ, but also Aston Martin with its version called Cygnet (シグネット). To celebrate the commencement of production in April 2011, the new Aston Martin Cygnet will be available in two special launch edition models, White and Black. Both will be available with either the standard manual or optional CVT automated transmission and each will be produced for a strictly limited time. Prices are starting at £30,995!

According to the press release, "Cygnet Launch Edition White brings together a serene exterior; finished in Snow White paint with a mix of silver mesh, chrome brightwork and White Diamond turned alloy wheels. The interior of the White edition features seats hand trimmed in Pearl white leather with perforated Alcantara inserts, complemented by satin chrome. On the exterior, Aston Martin’s attention to detail is exemplified with the iconic wings badge appearing in matching white.

In contrast, Cygnet Launch Edition Black features Magic Black metallic paint with a specially developed deep sea green effect, offset by matt black louvers and chrome brightwork. Inside, the seats and dash are finished in pure black full grain leather, perforated in a specially-developed diamond pattern. Dark chrome accents adorn the cabin, while the wings badges are rendered in black throughout.

Both Cygnet Launch Editions also come with a bespoke Bill Amberg five-piece luggage set, especially designed for and tailored to Cygnet. Available in a contemporary combination of black leather with technical fabric, the set comprises glove box bag, removable door pocket bag, holdall, garment bag and a collapsible tote bag."
