Presented today in almost as new condition, just 2,900 miles have been covered, since first taking flight in 2018. At ease being driven in town or on the open road, the breadth of capability of this dazzling city supercar is quite remarkable and undoubtedly, it’s presence at car shows, concours or speed events, would be welcome.

Sí, existe un Aston Martin Cygnet con motor V8. Y ahora está a la venta y puede ser tuyo De algún modo, alguien consiguió embutir el motor, la transmisión y las suspensiones de un Vantage S en este pequeño Cygnet. ¡Y funciona! 08/03/2025 Aston Martin construyó un único Super-Cygnet con motor V8. Un hilarante one-off que, ahora, sale a la venta por primera vez. Anunciado por Nicholas Mee en el Reino Unido, y en nombre de la propia Aston Martin, este Super Cygnet se vende por un precio "a consultar" con sólo 4.656 km en el contador, todos por cortesía de su primer propietario, quien lo encargó a la marca como un pedido especial. Un Aston Martin único Ya de por sí, el Cygnet convencional fue uno de los proyectos más bizarros que jamás emprendió Aston Martin. Cada ejemplar comenzaba su vida como un Toyota iQ, un biplaza al estilo de los Smart, y cada uno de sus 593 ejemplares utilizaba su mismo motor, a excepción de nuestro protagonista. El pequeño bloque Toyota de 1,3 litros y cuatro cilindros otorgaba un 0 a 100 de 11,8 segundos con transmisión manual, y de 11,6 segundos con la automática CVT. Sí, era monótonamente lento. Nicholas Mee Este Super Cygnet es la prueba de que Aston sabía como insuflarle diversión a este urbanita. El enclenque cuatro cilindros se veía reemplazado por el 4.7 V8 utilizado en el Vantage S de la época, al cual la marca añadía su transmisión automática de siete relaciones. Por supuesto, para llevar sus 430 CV a las ruedas posteriores de una manera mínimamente dócil, hizo falta echar mano de la ingeniería. Además del motor, se integraron también los subchasis delantero y trasero del Vantage S, incluyendo las suspensiones y su sistema de frenos ABS. Las llantas forjadas calzan neumáticos Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2. Por dentro, Aston Martin instaló una jaula de seguridad completa con baquets Recaro, firmando un conjunto que pesaba 1.375 kg. Gracias a todos estos cambios, el 0 a 100 se redujo a sólo 4,2 segundos y la velocidad punta alcanzaba los 273 km/h, aunque en condiciones reales la velocidad registrada fue de 249 km/h. Nicholas Mee Para sorpresa de nadie, el diseño exterior también recibe aumentos que lo acercan más a la idiosincrasia de Aston Martin. El aumento significativo en la anchura de los ejes requirió un kit de ensanche para la carrocería en fibra de carbono. Los arreglos en el frontal y la trasera le dotan de una nueva personalidad, y el escape doble en la parte posterior deja pocas dudas sobre la bestia mecánica que se cobija debajo de la estética. La división Q de Aston Martin remató el conjunto con una bonita pintura en Buckinghamshire Green y la fusión entre la fibra de carbono y el Alcántara. Incluso la instrumentación del Vantage está presente. Si quieres este pedazo salvajemente genial de la historia reciente de Aston Martin, te sugerimos que contactes lo antes posible con Nicholas Mee, ya que el periodo de ofertas establecido por este vendedor finalizó el 28 de febrero. No obstante, si estás realmente interesado, es posible que contacte contigo si le dejas un mensaje con una oferta suficientemente inspiradora. https://www.caranddriver.com/es/coches/planeta-motor/a64015790/aston-martin-cygnet-v8-venta/
