Powerful Aston Martin Cygnet transformed with a V8 engine - a truly robust miniature luxury vehicle
Aston Martin Cygnet V8 Hits the Market: A Rare and Powerful Compact Sports Car
The British luxury car manufacturer, Aston Martin, has put up for sale a unique and exclusive model, the Cygnet V8. This compact sports car, with its seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, is a rare find for enthusiasts.
The Cygnet V8, with its modified underbody to accommodate the powerful V8 engine, has been custom-made on a special customer order. It was showcased at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2018, but the exact owner remains undisclosed. The car, which boasts a top speed claim of 275 km/h, is now available at a British Aston Martin specialist.
The asking price for this extraordinary vehicle is 'price on request,' reflecting its exclusivity. The previous owner has only driven it approximately 4800 kilometers (3000 miles), ensuring it remains in pristine condition.
The Cygnet V8 features a track that is significantly wider than its standard counterpart, providing enhanced stability and agility. To further enhance safety, the car comes equipped with a roll cage and racing seats with six-point harnesses. For those who prefer a more hands-on driving experience, the driver can manually shift gears using shift paddles.
It's unclear whether the front fender wideners on the Cygnet V8 were necessary for the V8 engine or for wider tires. Regardless, they add to the car's imposing presence and unique aesthetic.
This is a fantastic opportunity for any Aston Martin enthusiast to own a piece of automotive history. The Cygnet V8 is not just a car; it's a statement. Don't miss out on this rare chance to own such a remarkable vehicle.
