Aston Martin Cygnet EV coming in 2013 – Report
Will likely have a top speed of 125 km/h (78 mph)
In an effort to appease increasing environmental pressures, Aston Martin will reportedly launch a Cygnet EV in 2013.
Essentially a rebadged Toyota iQ EV, the Cygnet will likely feature a 47 kW (64 PS / 63 hp) electric motor that is powered by an 11 kWh lithium-ion battery. Sadly, this means the car will offer tepid performance as the iQ accelerates from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 14 seconds and has a top speed of 125 km/h (78 mph).

The New Aston Martin Virage
The newcomer splits the two exactly on price, at £150,000, while its 6.0-litre V12 produces 490bhp – that’s 20bhp less than in the DBS but 20bhp up on the standard model. Aside from the roof, every panel has been subtly altered.
Aston Martin unveils AMR-One race car
Aston Martin has unveiled the new AMR-One endurance racer.
Dressed in Gulf Oil livery, the LMP1 car rides on a bespoke carbon fiber chassis and is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter six-cylinder engine which develops approximately 540 bhp (403 kW / 548 PS). It sends power to the rear wheels through a transversely-mounted semi-automatic Xtrac racing transmission.
V12 Aston Vantage revisited
The other day I popped past the guys at Aston Martin in the Waterfront to say hi, and got co-erced into taking their V12 Vantage for a drive again by the always-affable chief mechanic Jason. I’d driven it previously but conditions weren’t great and I didn’t get a good feel for the car at all.
This is Aston Martin’s fire and brimstone filled monster — it’s their smallest car, the Vantage, with their biggest engine shoehorned in, the angry 6.0 litre V12 from the DBS. If you’re in any doubt as to just how epic this engine is, I suggest you have a quick listen here. It also has a properly decent sounding starter motor, another important aspect of a true exotic! Above and beyond that, it is of course, a stunner to behold, as with any Aston.
