A one-of-a-kind, two-seater Aston Martin tiny hatchback is on sale for the first time and could fetch up to £500,000.
The Cygnet V8 model can do a blistering 170mph and can go from 0-60mph in just 4.2 seconds.
The one-off motor – the smallest supercar ever – was made in 2018.
With its 4.7litre, V8 engine – like the one in the James Bond-esque Vantage S – a souped up version of the standard Aston Martin Cygnet city car launched nine years earlier.
The basic model – of which 786 were rolled out – could only do 106mph and 0-60mph in 11.8 seconds.
They cost £31,000 but weren’t popular because they resembled a Toyota iQ which cost a third of the price.
But the green Aston Martin Cygnet V8 was a bespoke version which has more supercar power.
It is now being sold by Nicholas Mee & Company, in Hatfield, Herts.
It is the first time it has ever gone on public sale, as reported by Need to Know.
The tiny sports car is being flogged by the original commissioning owner.
Nicholas Mee, founder of Nicholas Mee & Company, said: “Over the course of my career, Ive been fortunate to handle the sale of many of Aston Martins most significant and outrageous creations.
“For visual impact, engineering intrigue and sheer wow factor, nothing comes close to this Super Cygnet.
”The V8 Super Cygnet represents Aston Martin engineering at its most creative and audacious.
”Its a brilliant demonstration of what happens when you combine the heart of a V8 Vantage S with the compact dimensions of the Cygnet city car.
“The result is simply extraordinary a 430bhp pocket rocket that delivers supercar thrills in a package you could park in the tightest city space.
“Its unique, inspired, a bona fide collector car thats guaranteed to put a smile on any enthusiast.”
When the car was first made it was estimated it was worth between £250,000 and £500,000.
