      It would have come right after the news with Jezza asking Hamster and Captain Slow if they remembered when Aston Martin first announced the Cygnet then showing a picture. He then would have mentioned that Aston Martin's Q Branch has tinkered with it and the shown us the result with a cut to video where you'd see the car draped in dramatic lighting and smoke with Jezza doing a voiceover listing what they did to it and the spec followed by acouple of minutes of him trying hilariously to get into it and then taking it for a test drive around the track.
      After talking more about it from inside the car and mentioning how awesome it is to drive and how the noise from the V8 is intoxicating, he'd pull up, get out and talk more about it in which he'd mention how much it cost the owner to get made and tell Aston Martin that they need to make more before going back to the studio.
      Once back there he, Hammond and May would talk more about it before one of the other two saying they want to see how fast it will go with Jezza then spouting some completely mad facts about The Stig i.e. "Some say yadda yadda. All we know is he's called The Stig." then cut to The Stig setting a lap with Jezza pointing out understeer or oversteer in the corners followed by the follow-through, the second to last corner, Gambon and across the line with a respectful time.

      Where did I say it was never done before?
      That Prius is 'cheating' as nothing about the interior was retained, and everything was pushed way back to accommodate the mopar (Hellcat?) drivetrain. It was basically a shell over a chassis.
      Jay Leno's showcased a lot of interesting cars with interesting swaps.
