Unveiled today, Aston Martin released the Cygnet concept - a new luxury commuter car. Taking design cues from the model lineup such as the DBS and Rapide, Aston Martin applied them to a Toyota iQ model, creating a very unsuspecting mix.

"The Cygnet concept represents a creative, environmentally conscious solution, being small, yet with presence - and highly fuel efficient, now combined with the prestige of Aston Martin's luxury brand ownership." According to Aston Martin, the Cygnet will not receive any changes to the iQ's powertrain which is a 67-hp 1.0-liter three-cylinder, 89-hp 1.4 liter turbo-diesel, or an 97-hp 1.2 liter four cylinder. With 0 to 60 in 12 seconds, its definitely not as engaging as the typical Aston Martin lineup.

The Cygnet remains a concept however Aston Martin is planning for a production version for Europe in the first half of 2010. A rough estimation of price of the Cygnet will be around €25,000 to €30,000, around $35,000 to $42,000 USD making it the most expensive Toyota built. Link
