Parking in London is always tricky, but finding a spot not just on the Brompton Road but actually inside Harrods? Well, that’s an achievement...

...and it’s just what the clever engineers from Gaydon have done with the ‘city friendly’ Aston Martin, the Cygnet, which will be launched in 2011.

It's called 'spatial efficiency'.

A red Cygnet will be on display in one of London’s top stores, Harrods, until Saturday 11 December. Prospective customers for the high-quality runaround can already order one through the European Aston Martin dealer network.
