Cygnet Launch Edition Black

(2011)

On introduction, the Cygnet was briefly available as two contrasting launch editions, the 'Black' and the 'White'. These were fully loaded with a host of optional extras fitted as standard and available for only a very short period of time. Once the order book closed at the end on April 2011, the special launch cars were no longer available to order. Both 'Black' and 'White' were available with either manual or CVT transmissions.

The Cygnet Black had a unique Magic Black metallic paint finish offset by twin front to back matt body stripes, matt black bonnet louvers, matt black meshes on the side vents and black enamelled AM wings badges. The door mirrors featured chrome caps and the 16 inch 16 spoke wheels were gloss black painted with the spokes diamond turned.

The interior was finished in a Pure Black leather (even darker than Obsidian Black) with perforated seat inserts whilst the trim on the dash was finished in dark chrome. One point to note is that it was also possible to spec the ‘Black’ with the all white interior of the ‘White’ car  (and vice versa). The launch cars all featured unique ‘swan head’ badging with contrasting eye colour on the door pillar; these badges are intended only to be used on special and limited edition Cygnets. In addition, the Launch Editions came many optional features as standard such as a 5 piece Bill Amberg luggage set, first aid kit, garage door opening rear view mirror and special launch edition sill plates.
