The last time we shared the Aston Martin V8 Super Cygnet was in 2018 at Goodwood FoS<\/a>. The wild little car is back. The original owner is listing it for sale on Nicholas Mee<\/a> in the UK. The Super Cygnet was designed and built over 10 months by Aston Martin\u2019s engineering and Q by Aston Martin customization service. The factory 1.3 L inline-four was swapped for a 4.7 L AJ37 V8 from a Vantage S producing 430 hp (316 kW) and 490 Nm (361 lb-ft) of torque. Behind the V8 is a seven-speed Sportshift II transmission, small torque tube, and limited-slip differential. Keeping the extreme power-to-weight ratio (313hp\/tonne) in check are V8 Vantage S six-piston front brakes and four-piston rear brakes.<\/p>\n
