Aston Martin’s Opulent Golden Cygnet

Aston Martin’s Opulent Golden Cygnet

Expensive tunings are usually performed with carbon fiber additions, but when that is no longer opulent enough, you can always turn to a heavier, but much more extravagant material: gold! Golden cars seem to be starting a new trend: we’ve seen the Goldplus Nano, the golden BMW M5 E60, and the limited edition Lotus Evora S GP – all boasting gold touches. Now this Golden Aston Martin Cygnet continues the trend with its dazzling body. Built at the automaker’s headquarters in Gaydon, U.K., the compact Cygnet looks like a gold nugget on wheels. Its 1.3-liter straight-four engine produces 98 bhp and 123 Nm of torque, just enough for a small city car. But would you dare leave it in the parking lot?
