“Aston Martin's characteristic design language is clearly referenced in Cygnet’s compact two-door body. Signature details like the famous aluminium grille, side strake and inverted rear lights create a distinguished, neatly-proportioned form and a discretely stylish statement. Painted, trimmed and assembled by the same technicians and craftspeople that create Aston Martin’s award-winning range of sports cars, Cygnet is the ultimate way to explore the contemporary city,” stated the press release.
