Rumor: Aston Martin Planning V8-powered Cygnet?

According to our friends at Jalopnik, Aston Martin is working on a V8-powered version of their Cygnet city car. The idea is to use the V8 engine from the V8 Vantage in the Cygnet offering a more unique and powerful package for future owners.

For those of you unknown to the Cygnet, the Aston Martin Cygnet is a luxury city car based on the Toyota IQ. This small car was developed by the British manufacturer of supercars in response to the tougher emission standards set by the European Union. The car is powered by a 1.3 liter straight-four engine which provides 98bhp and 123Nm of torque. The customised vehicle is only available for people who buy a ‘real’ Aston.

Stay tuned for more in the future!
