2011 Aston Martin Cygnet is not a bespoke design
Aston Martin Cygnet to be featured in a James Bond film



It looked like a joke when the classic Aston Martin presented a concept car at the recent Geneva motor, around three feet short and fitted with the Aston Martin grille and red leather interior. Everyone saw that the car was Toyota’s smallest model IQ – what was the sentence? The concept car was extremely serious, it turned out. Aston Martin had to lower the brand’s average fuel consumption and at the same time, many of the exclusive clients wanted a second car that would be smoother than the high-priced sports car to use in city traffic.



Ulrich Bez has led Aston Martin for ten years now and is already two years ago brought his ideas to expand car sales with a new, different model. Lagonda brand would be revived and it was made official at the 100th anniversary declared in autumn 2008. At the next Geneva Salon, Spring 2009, we got to see what Ulrich Bez Aston Martin and imagined, and it was not a new sedan that most believed – without a convertible! The concept car called a certain habituation, and although it did have character had Lagonda concept hard to convince everyone on the same obvious way that Aston Martin’s models usually do.
