The Aston Martin Cygnet is a unicorn. Basically a fancy version of a Toyota iQ (I'm not making this up, it exists), it's the smallest Aston you'll ever see. And now, the British automaker shoved a V8 into it.

Aston Martin has debuted the one-off V8 Cygnet at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Billed as the "ultimate city car," which it definitely is, the V8 Cygnet borrows its 430-horsepower, 4.7-liter V8 from the Vantage S. It can actually out-accelerate the Vantage S, reaching 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and continuing on until 170 mph. That's 60 mph faster than the standard Cygnet's top speed.
