The first electric car in the history of the brand Aston Martin will be the CD Cygnet. The basis of the electric car Cygnet will take Toyota iQ, running on electricity. Power iQ will go on sale in late 2012. And his "brother" Cygnet will appear not earlier than 2013. Recall that two years ago the Director of Aston Martin Dr. Ulrich bez said that the company is not planning to launch electric vehicles, and more likely to develop cars that run on hydrogen. And now the management has decided to release Cygnet, running on electricity. Perhaps this decision was made due to the fact that Toyota (which participated in the creation of Cygnet) began work on his electric car.
