Flamboyant British Muscle.
–
Produced from 2003 to 2009, the 4th generation Arion Cygnus came with a two trim levels; the standard 350I powered by a 4 litre inline 6 and the top trim: 500I, a 500hp V8 RWD 2+2 monster.
With forged internals, quad camshaft, direct injection and Arion’s “AEGIS” augmented electromagnetic valve technology, paired to a partial aluminium body with clad undertray and improved aero sleekness, it was possible to achieve 42.9mpg (UK) in a test run. Though being limited to 155mph for regulations, according to rumours, it would exceed 200mph given a long enough straightaway.
The Cygnus is a high class Muscle-GT car, with luxuries as standard: electronic differential, premium leather interior paired with touchscreen satnav and ESC.
RRP: $75,000 ($48,000 Automation units) ((US Market version shown)).
