Imagine the scene. During the first day of the 2018 Festival of Speed I was recording supercars and new cars coming out their paddock area, heading to the start of the hillclimb course. I was recording one of the brand new Aston Martin's and suddenly I heard a V8 revving. As soon as I turned my head I saw and understood that sound came from this little Aston Martin Cygnet, while I was expecting a total different car! I was quite puzzled...
Guys at Aston Martin decided to build this crazy project placing the 4.7-litre, 430bhp V8 engine you find in the Vantage S into their little Aston Martin Cygnet (or Toyota iQ) creating the "Ultimate city-car".
Thanks to this swap the car now should be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-60 mph) in just 4.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 270 km/h (170 mph). The car isn't really lightweight with its 1,350kg. Of course it was necessary to do a lot of other works and improvements such as widen it, putting big tyres and brakes, adding a roll cage inside etc.
What do you think of this little monster?
