Aston Martins are not usually sold for their fuel efficiency - or for their ability to fit into tight parking spots.
However the company's planned latest vehicle - an upmarket version of Toyota's iQ city car - hopes to address exactly these everyday concerns.
The tiny Cygnet has an engine just 1/6th the size that of the DBS favoured by James Bond - and seems unlikely to feature in any of 007's high-speed car chases.
But Aston Martin is hoping the £20,000 car - billed as a "luxury commuter concept" - will appeal for its greener credentials, with the manufacturer's added "presence".
And its makers believe it's unlikely that buyers of the Cygnet will be the only car in a household.
Chief executive Dr Ulrich Bez said the best way to think of the concept was as a tender to a luxury yacht - a baby minion to a larger vessel.
"The offering of a Cygnet with a DBS, DB9 or Vantage is a unique combination of opposites and a novel transport solution allowing intelligent and sensitive mobility on an exclusive and innovative level," he said.
