Aston puts new model in shop window

Aston Martin has, literally, put its new car in the shop window.

ASTON Martin’s new luxury city car, the Cygnet, will make its global debut at Harrods in Knightsbridge, the world’s most prestigious department store.
Occupying a prominent position in the store’s iconic Brompton Road window display in central London, Cygnet is perfectly placed in the heart of the city, an ideal spot to experience this ultra-compact, high luxury city car in its production-ready form for the very first time.
Aston Martin’s characteristic design language is clearly referenced in Cygnet’s compact two-door body. Signature details like the famous aluminium grille, side strake and inverted rear lights create a distinguished, neatly-proportioned form and a discretely stylish statement. Painted, trimmed and assembled by the same technicians and craftspeople that create Aston Martin’s award-winning range of sports cars, Cygnet is the ultimate way to explore the contemporary city.
Cygnet is highly appropriate for the environment for which it has been designed. With ample performance and manoeuvrability for urban use, it is light, compact and fuel-efficient yet also capable of carrying up to four people, all while providing Aston Martin’s accomplished levels of luxury, comfort and quality. Cygnet, the tailor fit solution for the city, will help drive Aston Martin into an exciting future.
Harrods is a suitably central location for this important debut. Located in the heart of Knightsbridge, the celebrated store has been at the forefront of luxury retail since it was founded in 1849. Offering the finest merchandise from this most prominent of London locations, as well as from satellite sites around the world, Harrods provides unrivalled choice and a bespoke personal service that attracts loyal customers as well as a host of international visitors.
Cygnet will be available to view at Harrods until Saturday, December 11, with the car on sale now through Aston Martin’s European dealership network.
