Selling small, efficient cars is not what Aston Martin does best. For all its apparent charm, the Cygnet is slow to catch up with its V8 and V12 brothers, despite the British manufacturer's best efforts.
Those efforts have included launching a special edition version of the small automobile in collaboration with Paris fashion house colette. Officially, the car was supposed to be called the "Cygnet & colette", but everybody calls it the Colette Edition.
We haven't heard much about since it was launched in 2011, and now the frugal little Aston has popped up in Dubai of all places. Shining bright under the Arabian sun, the car shows off its Lightning Silver exterior finish highlighted by exclusive colette blue styling details. Only 14 of these models have ever been built, all equipped with matching pillows.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
