Aston Martin golf cart won’t make it stateside
Aston Martin’s golf cart premium commuter car is based off the Toyota iQ minicompact—think Smart car. Like the Toyota, the Aston Martin concept may see production over in Europe but not in the United States. The Aston Martin Cygnet, as it is called, will utilize Toyota’s 1.3-liter four-cylinder motor to provide the car with 97 horsepower. The Smart FourTwo has a 70-hp engine.
Aston feels that its Cygnet may fill its normal clientele’s “need for a small car for urban and city use.” The car will be proverbially Aston by its restyled front and rear, which will mimic the design cues of the iconic sportscars (including the hood vents from the V-12 Vantage). The inside will also showcase such premium features as hand-stitched leather, Alcantara, and aluminum. Price will be between two to four times that of the Toyota version of the car, or approximately $45,000 to $75,000.
