Aston Martin has struck a ground-breaking deal with Toyota to launch a £20,000 version of the Japanese-built iQ commuter car, badged Aston Martin Cygnet and built at Aston’s Gaydon works in Warwickshire.

The new model, officially billed as a concept, is expected to be offered for sale before the end of next year. It will initially be sold only to existing Aston Martin owners and those with cars on order, but after an introductory period it will then go on general sale.

    “This concept is akin to an exclusive tender for a luxury yacht”

    Will they winch it out of the boot of their Vanquish when they need it? Surely only the children’s nanny will drive it.

    Reminds me of the Sultan of Brunei’s gardener’s Ferrari estate/station wagon: http://www.classicdriver.com/uk/magazine/3200.asp?id=10779

    It’s doubtful that 007 will be driving this in the next James Bond film.

    OK, I just realized the link to the trailers don’t show, except once in a flash, he drove a smart car.
