Aston Martin Cygnet to have an all-electric version

Aston Martin Cygnet to have an all-electric version

Obviously, someone somewhere thinks that this is undoubtedly a brilliant idea – an Aston Martin all-electric car. Only thing is, it’s not going to be very fast, nor very big.

Reports say the rumour mill has it that the company is planning an EV version of its tiny Cygnet, which of course will essentially be a tarted up electric version of the Toyota iQ, which the standard Cygnet is based on. All in the name of being seen as green, yes, and a case of ‘since everyone’s doing it, why shouldn’t we?’ Still, you can imagine there’ll be takers. There always are.

    why not? Its a good idea.

    An environmentally friendly commute to work (probably short one at that) to save some conscience before burning up all that carbon for a weekend drive in the REAL Aston.

    like anand said, they (Aston Martin) want to reduce the average emission range, to compel with the Euro rules…

    its not what Aston Martin is all about, they just wanna play by the rules to survive

    Kesian the designers in charge of the car. The project brief must’ve been like “It must be stylish! But it must also be economical! But it must also be luxury! But it was also be environmentally friendly! But it must also be small and cheap!”. Can tembak kepala d.

    while it may not cause environmental pollution, it causes eyesore

    What’s wrong with an electric GT car? Can’t it work?
