The '''Toyota Aygo''' (pronounced {{IPA|[ˈaɪ goʊ]}}, [[Japanese language|Japanese]] [[Romanization of Japanese|romaji]]) is a [[city car]] sold since 2005. All Aygos are built at the new factory of the [[TPCA]] [[Joint venture|joint-venture]] ([[Toyota]] Peugeot Citroën Automobile) in the city of [[Kolin]], [[Czech Republic]]. The Aygo was first displayed at the 2005 [[Salon International de l'Auto|Salon de l'Automobile]] de [[Genève]]. The name "Aygo" comes from "i-go"<ref> http://www.toyota.ie/main/models/aygo/index.htm </ref>,  symbolising freedom and mobility <ref>[http://www.carpages.co.uk/toyota/toyota-aygo-part-1-02-03-05.asp The New Toyota Aygo<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>.

The decision to make these cars was made on [[July 12]], [[2001]], when the presidents of [[Toyota]] and [[PSA Group]], [[Fujio Cho]] and [[Jean-Martin Folz]] respectively, decided to produce a small car to share development costs. This project was called [[B-Zero]]. The [[Peugeot 107]] and [[Citroën C1]] are [[rebadged]] versions of the same car.

The Aygo's starting price is €8,500 (£6,845 UK on the road price). The main difference between the Aygo and its siblings is in the interior equipment, badges, logos and easily recognizable the rear end of the car. The planned production is 300,000 cars annually - 100,000 cars per brand. Sales began in July 2005 and the car is available as a three or five-door hatchback. There are two engines available, a 1.0 L three-cylinder engine rated at {{Auto bhp|68|0}}, and a 1.4 L HDi diesel I4 engine rated at {{Auto bhp|54|0}}.The Aygo has a 4-star [[EuroNCAP]] rating.

The Aygo was used on [[BBC]]'s ''[[Top Gear (current format)|Top Gear]]'' in a giant match of [[association football|football]], showcasing its maneuverability. The Top Gear presenters deemed the Aygo and its Peugeot and Citroën counterpoints to be brilliant town cars.

=='Aygo Crazy' concept==
In 2008, Toyota created a driveable one-off concept car based on the Toyota Aygo. Named the Aygo Crazy, it will be unveiled to the public at the [[British International Motor Show]] in [[London]], before appearing at other UK-based motor shows during the summer.<ref>[http://www.am-online.com/news/view_article.asp?art_ID=42897179&menu=1&s=view_article AM-online: news<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

Aygo Crazy has a rear mounted 1.8 litre VVTi engine from the [[Toyota MR2]] and [[Celica]], mated to an MR2 five speed gearbox and fitted with a [[Toyota Motorsport]] [[turbocharger]] conversion. The manufacturer claims the engine produces {{convert|197|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} at 6,700 rpm and {{convert|177|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} torque at 3,400 rpm.

Weighing just {{convert|1050|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} , this gives it a 0-62 mph sprint time of 5.75 seconds and a theoretical top speed of {{convert|127|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}}, though the latter has not been tested.  Unlike the standard Aygo, it has no driver aids, power steering or anti-lock brakes but its [[rear wheel drive]] layout helps traction under heavy acceleration.

Exterior modifications include wider arches to accommodate the one inch of extra track, 17-inch alloy wheels with [[Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company|Goodyear]] tyres and a carbon fibre rear spoiler designed for the {{convert|200|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}} American [[Champ Car]] series.

Suspension is from the MR2, with adjustable [[Tein]] shock absorbers and [[MacPherson strut|McPherson struts]] front and rear. To cope with the extra power, Toyota upgraded the standard {{convert|247|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} front brake discs to a {{convert|328|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} [[Brembo]] conversion, with {{convert|280|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} ventilated rear discs replacing the {{convert|200|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} drums normally found on the Aygo. An uprated [[Helix]] clutch is also used.

The interior features a partial [[roll cage]] for extra chassis stiffness and driver protection. Two specially designed sports seats, trimmed in red and black, and a suede-rimmed [[Sparco]] steering wheel complete the race-inspired look.

Toyota claims the Aygo Crazy cost £100,000 to build.<ref>[http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/FirstDrives/Toyota-Aygo-1.8-VVT-i-Crazy/233245/ Toyota Aygo Crazy - Road Test First Drive - Autocar.co.uk<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
