Remember when Top Gear used to show us the cars actually moving?
Latif Nabiyev this is for their magazine and review.not for their show😶😶😶
@Latif Nabiyev yeah but the grand tour for some reason is just not the same hence why there falling in viewership it makes me sad
Didn’t even show us the engine!
Good times!....Good times....
Remember when Top Gear actually had good hosts?
Top gear, the main aim of the video was the v8 in the car AND YOU DIDN'T SHOW THE V8 IN THE CAR.
It's probably shoe-horned in there so tight that you can't even access it ahaha
Make Cars Great Again - Amazingly the engine looks slightly lost down in the depths of the engine bay.
We don't know whether there is a V8 in there, the sound could have been dubbed on... he didn't drive it so maybe there isn't even an engine under the hood.

It's FAKE
I can't wait to see this in the next Bond movie.
Lol 😆 😂 😝
😂😂😂😂👍🏻🙏🏻😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
They will use it for a spinoff.
My name is Junior. Bond Jr.
Or atleast on johnny english movie
Bond goes small.
I find it exceptionally hard to believe that there's a longitudinally mounted V8 under there with gearbox. It would've been good if he showed us
And exceptionally hard to believe that Aston would build this in house. Did this come out on April 1?
@@randolfo1265 they did, the owner even has a contract with Aston Martin so he has the only V8 Cygnet in the world, here look at this video to see the engine: czcams.com/video/s1v0HDID_vQ/video.html&ab_channel=NM2255CarHDVideos
@@tcg1_qc WTH!!! Bruh the engine is shoved in like a little Honey Hole, how the hell does the driver have any leg room is beyond me. This is crazy, its like an optical illusion
Imagine how different this review would be with the trio
They miss so much 😞
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.
@@DarkLordDiablos shit... Reading your comment made me play the made-up episode in my mind to perfection
@@dani3link I was visualising it myself while writing it in order to get the one correct so I'm glad you were able to see it playout in your head as you read it.
Wouldn't fit
Best car ever, I'm looking forward for Cygnet S with a v12
drobio your car tastes are pretty arguable
How
This statement tells everyone you know nothing about cars
@@gnisis562 I was referring to rumors about a possible v12 cygnet which was a thing back in 2012
@@gnisis562 also please tell me why and how does this one sentence tells you everything about my automotive knowledge
The difference between Japanese and British...
- Toyota : "A small tiny little turbocharger wouldn't fit in our Toyota 86 and it would absolutely destroy the balance of the car"
- Aston Martin : "Our V8 Cygnet works bloody awesome, mate"
Slapping V8s to everything is more american if you ask me. Also with a turbo comes turbo lag, so I'm clad they didn't slap on a turbo to the 86.
Best comment ever😂😂😂😂
Toyota doesn't give a damn about entusiasts
@@Nikke-nn5mn correct
But had a bad handling
Well, I'd rather have this over a Brabus Smart!
Tristan Davis I’m not sure old aunt Mavis would be able to transport her pork pies in this tho
Apparently there was a prototype Tesla Smart which could do Wheelies.
Jeremy Clarkson
Yes dude Ya know what we need as well?
This thing in Forza
I'll stick with an original VW Type 1.
Imagine bringing your Lambo/Ferrari/Whatever to the Nordschleife and being overtaken by this!
StuntpilootStef it’s not that fast lol
Most people with a Lambo or Ferrari aren't either.
@@user-pi8jk4tv6g it's faster than a lot of Lambos. Just none of the new ones.
I don't think this thing is gonna be all that fast on the Nürburgring given the fact it weighs just under 1.6 metric tons, makes 430hp and has a high center of grafity causing loads of bodyroll due to its shape.
StuntpilootStef name a ferrari after 2000 with less power than this, also this thing cant turn
That's incredibly stupid I love it so much
Its like takeing the legs off a greyhound and puting them on a poodle
Kelt Thomas maybe a pug, cause poodles are pretty tall and actually very athletic, sometimes used as hunting dogs.
Quite dangerous to have a bonkers V8 in a car with such a small wheelbase. I'd hate to see it doing a top speed run, it would be like watching a turbo Mini, struggling to maintain a straight line
That's with standard suspension geo, but obviously you can fix this, check out the mini gtr for example, they put full st205 Celica running gear in a mini
Much like Project Binky
STAG162
I would say Mario Kart in real life 😂
+STAG I'm sure Aston have taken the proper precautions to see that they don't kill off one of their valuable customers.
PS: Don't act like a keyboard warrior. Makes you look 14.
It would have to be hard to ignore the physics of it all trying to push the limits when they come up so early. This creation governs its own use to what was probably intended and why it has come to our attention - novelty value.
BREAKING NEWS
Lamborghini rebadged a VW Golf and put in a V12
hahaha gg
It was a w12 from vw
It was a W12 Bentley engine
Bentley? The W12 is 100% a VW engine.
they should put it in a "Up!"
Now we're all getting recommended this because of daddy Doug
What a crazy car! 😱😎👍
AutobahnTV what a crazy dogshit
Dude it’s a ripoff
You mean... "a crazy car(t)!"
@@KayoMichiels a ripoff of a smart car wow
A Toyota iQ or whatever you may call it... but what was going through the engineers minds at Aston Martin when they thought that they could just rebadge it and sell it under their own brand name?
Cant wait for max and daniel to drive this to the track every weekend😂
Minus Daniel
@@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights lol
xiDynazty Gaming i
He can still drive it 8 times🙃
In bonds garage,
Every other bonds car watching this car 😳, and asking: what special do you have for our owner
Cygnet: I have V8 engine and cute tho.
Other bond cars: WOW 😲
The Aston Martin engineering team must have been high when they thought of this.
That thing sounds amazing!
Top gear = Fifth Gear. No tortured Metaphors and no tyre shredding, smoking and bursting into flames.
*Thanks to the Top Gear youtube channel for the old videos.*
future of Aston Martin right there!
OKAY THIS IS EPIC
Can we get 5000 subs your kidding rite?
I remember seeing a 500 c.i. Hemi put into a Plymouth Arrow hatchback. This very much reminds me of that....and excites me.
Who is here because of Doug
That's just sick.
OMG I love Love LOVE this thing!!!! I want one!!
Very nice!
Wow how cool is that its an Aston Smartin !
I would absolutely buy this Cygnet over any other modern aston! This needs to be a production model :D
This is the ULTIMATE sleeper
Awesome thanks
*The engineering involved in shoehorning that V8 into that bay is ASTON ̶M̶A̶R̶TISHING!!!*
ALAPINO It’s been done...look up jay Leno’s episode on hellcat eng in I think VW BUG?
PS. Prius!
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.
Hellcat engine in a VW Beetle? I'm not familiar with that one, but depending on the year of the VW the concept sounds interesting.
I NEED this.
amazing ride, plenty of power and just enough foe one and a dog...
That is epic.
can't wait for the V12 version
this looking like it would be fun to drive this ...wow who knew i would actually like a smart car
That's insane.
I want one....
Just came from Doug Mauro's channel he just reviewed the 4 cylinder version a few hours ago. Then he said there was a 1 of 1 v8 version so here I am .
WOW!!
I want one!
🤩😎🤓😍
V8 sounds great.
man thats awsome
"I own an Aston Martin"
The Aston Martin:
So we can talk about this V8 and all the work done in the engine bay and... NO pictures or footage of it?! Seriously! God Top Gear sucks...
Old top gear was better, new top gear is fucking garbage
I can’t convey how happy Aston Martin just made me.
Assistant: Mr. Bond, ur new mission is to beat loeb's record.
Bond: say no more.
Love it 👍
Please get this thing round the track with the Stig.
Wie geil! Fahren wollen! :-)
Smart On Martin!!!
2:11 and it can still fit your weekly groceries in the back.
v8 sheet :) lovely
Maybe Supercar makers should make hot hatches. Pay the premium for performance and badges. That's not a bad idea. Like if you agree.
Shaurya Kumar Gautam maybe YOU shouldn’t touch yourself
I thought they built the original Cygnet to keep emissions down (thanks, Top Gear), but now they’ve done a V8? Well done lads! I prefer this to the Brabus Smart, though. Next we need a Supercharged Mugen Honda Jazz!
This is a 1 off car petitioned by a customer who signed he could never sell it and Aston signed saying they would never make another.
The Grand Tour rules!!
I can’t believe I just heard sound like that out of a golf cart! Unbelievable
Can't wait for cris Harris to drive it.....# content Top Gear
I. NEED. IT!!!
It Looks like a Smart. But that looks Holy Jolly Beautiful.
Now that’s a pocket rocket
Would handle like a dream 😂
It’s so mad that it’s good
Ultimate sleeper
Tiny beast😍😍😍🤗
who else got this on top of his recommended right after watching Doug's review ?
I want this car!!!!!!
I love that car
I like this.
This is how you make a Toyota not boring
What a great creation.
Am i wrong to assume this is a rear/ mid engined, rear wheel drive car?
Here from Doug Demuro.
This thing is bonkers!
430 horsepower in such a short wheelbase sounds absolutely terrifying...
not to mention doing 170mph in that shopping kart.
is the interior a manufacture option!?!?! love the seats
That's a proper track car
just wow :D
Just imagine straight piping this thing and taking it into town, blipping every downshift causing the sound to bounce off the buildings around you. People would be so confused.
The Toyota iQ is awesome. I had one, and it had leather.
Ah, the old British "stick a big engine in a small car" gag. I'd like to see that Goodwood footage myself.
I want to see Chris Harris drive it round the track
More V8 Cygnets, please.
I would love to borrow this just to start that engine on my works car park. It would definitely make them turn their heads after taking the pee out of my Toyota iq. I would absolutely wet myself laughing, could you imagine their faces after hearing that engine growl. Now that would be funny 😂🚗💨🇬🇧
i would buy it, its cool car
Now that's a car I would have
Just got a look at the Mercury Marine 500R outbound that's a step up from the 450R with the same 64° v8 and I tried in vain to think of a wheeled application with more than 2 wheels yet here it is! I still can't help scratching my head whenever I see a high end outboard motor even though I know it's standing vertically under the engine cover. How does a vertical engine alignment avoid oil starvation?
While I'm sure the Cygnet is safer, my heart still pangs for a Caterham to compete with the Ariel Atom 500
I really like this car
Use it in next johnny english movie
A V8 smart car.. well its not smart anymore is it.
Yeah now its smarter.
Well wasn’t ever a smart car
When was a smart car ever smart to begin with
it's not smart, but fun. i'd rather have a fun car than a smart car.
How did you ate a smart car
I've seen Smart cars with motorbike engines on here and other Smart cars that are fast but this is what you call perfection compared to them what more could you want nice video I just described
Looks like Ford Fiesta and Smart had a lil child! 😂😂
I want this 😍😍😍😍
A nice front air dam with a small front splitter & I’ll be happy
Soo its basically an engine with two seats!! :D
This is the sort of crazy car you get in games like GTAV!!
i think, i`d have loved to see this thing driving.
I’m like it’s kinda cool... “it has a 4.7l v8”.... now I’m like this thing is flipping awesome
This is more crazy than JP's 1.8 liter four-wheel VW Up!
We need this in fh4
This would be a great sleeper
Yes please!
