ASTON Martin has announced the arrival of its city car, with two strictly limited Cygnet launch editions.

To celebrate the start of production, the new Aston Martin Cygnet will be available in two special launch edition models, White and Black, which are available with either standard manual or optional CVT automated transmission.

Each will be produced for a strictly limited time.

Cygnet is a bespoke luxury commuter car, with ultra-compact packaging and low-emission engine technology.

Craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail characterise each Cygnet and the high levels of interior finish are exemplified by the choice of materials and colours on these two models.

Cygnet launch edition White is finished in snow white paint with a mix of silver mesh, chrome brightwork and white diamond turned alloy wheels.

The interior features seats hand trimmed in pearl white leather, complemented by satin chrome.

Launch edition Black features magic black metallic paint with a specially developed deep sea green effect, offset by matt black louvers and chrome brightwork. Inside, the seats and dash are finished in pure black full grain leather.

Both come with a bespoke Bill Amberg five-piece luggage set, especially designed for and tailored to the Cygnet.

Cygnet is the eighth major production car Aston Martin has introduced at its state-of-the art Gaydon facility.

Cygnet production begins in April and is initially on sale now through Aston Martin’s dealership network, with the company actively working on expanding market availability by 2012.

Prices start from £30,995.
