This was posted yesterday so a bit early for an April fool, also as stated in the article Aston did the same with the Toyota IQ washing machine and rebadged it as a cygnet sold only to people who had bought a DB9 to bring down the CO2 emissions of the whole brand. I don't know however if this overly applies to Maserati as they are part of the bigger FCA group the emissions of fiat Alfa etc all get considered together.
It's the group CO2 emissions which lead to La Ferrari but of course Ferrari is no longer in the fiat stable.
There is enough about this story for it to be true but also is comes across as being more of a rumour than fact or an April fool.
Ironically the Cygnet being so rare now, you can buy a used DB9 for the £30k price tag of a used cygnet.
As you can buy a new ghibli for £50k they would struggle to charge that for a 500.
