But the British automaker has more recently signaled its intent to be known for offering a lavishly equipped fuel efficient city car that focus solely on transportation duties and not 0 to 60 times or top speeds.<\/p>\n<p>Mostly. A quick run through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.astonmartin.com\/\">the automaker&#8217;s website<\/a> shows that its not willing to let the Cygnet degrade its performance and racing image entirely. To wit, the little urban commuter is pictured in a number of scenarios that don&#8217;t exactly scream &#8220;efficient transportation.&#8221; For instance, there&#8217;s an orange-helmeted Stig lookalike posing with the Aston in one scene.<\/p>\n<p>Note too that the Cygnet can be customized with three different racing-derived paint schemes, two of which focus on the classic British Racing Green of Aston Martin&#8217;s current racers and a third that shows the Cygnet painted up in iconic Gulf livery.
