Aston Martin Releases $70,550 / �48,995 Fashion-Trendy Cygnet

The Cygnet is on its way to becoming a true Aston Martin, but not in the sense you might think. We are referring to its price tag with the release of a new limited run special called �Cygnet & colette� that will set buyers back a whopping �48,995, equal to �43,800 and US$70,550!
That�s �18,000 or US$29,000 more than theentry-level Cygnet. This kind of money can buy you a Porsche Boxster in the UK and you would still have more than �7,000 left for spending! And all this for a car that is essentially a re-trimmed Toyota iQ�
As fashionistas may have already guessed by know, the limited edition Cygnet was created in collaboration with Parisian fashion and style boutique, colette.
On the outside, it features a Lightning Silver paint job with bespoke colette blue styling details including a race collection inspired front bumper and bonnet livery, mirror caps and diamond turned road wheels.
Inside, the Cygnet special gets a �Bitter Chocolate themed interior� with hand-trimmed leather and quilted details.
Other unique elements include:

• Stainless steel hand formed and engraved door handle badges
• �Cygnet & colette� branded hand enamelled boot badging manufactured by Thomas Fattorini
• Quilted Alcantara sun visors to complement the quilted leather door and seat inserts
• Hand trimmed, quilted colette blue leather occasional cushions for the rear seats
• �Cygnet & colette� branding on satellite navigation start up
• A unique �Cygnet & colette� key ring machined from solid aluminium with blue enamelling

The British automaker said its Aston Martin Works Tailored division crafted the �Cygnet & colette� and that more special editions are to follow.
�The colette car is the first of the exclusive �Cygnet &� collaborations,� said Aston Martin Director of Design, Marek Reichman. �These cars will give Aston Martin a relevant platform to reach out to new customers in urban areas.�
Aston Martin plans to build only 14 examples of the �Cygnet & colette� city car with first deliveries expected by the end of the year.
