Ah, the Aston Martin Cygnet V8, a true testament to automotive innovation, where the term ‘performance’ is stretched to the limits of believability. With a V8 engine that’s no larger than a dinner plate, Aston Martin has managed to create a city car that’s more of a ‘city missile’ in terms of its absurd power-to-size ratio. The Q division really outdid itself with this ‘miracle of automotive packaging’—basically, they managed to fit a V8 engine into a car that’s so small, it’s half Mini Cooper. And kudos to Aston for not just throwing in a roll cage, but also widening the track to match the size of the wheel flares! It’s not every day you see a car where the curb weight is less than the weight of the driver, especially when the driver’s a small, pint-sized knight in shining armor. I mean, I can see why it’s being sold as a complete item; after all, it’s the kind of car that might come with a warning label: ‘Warning: May not fit in your parking space, may cause double-takes on the street, and is guaranteed to make your neighbors ask if you’re into micro-machines.’ At this price, I might as well start buying lottery tickets… or maybe start looking for an alternative to this ‘micro-missile’ of a vehicle.
