Aston Martin One-77 breaks 350 km/h in testing

The One-77 supercar is set to be Aston Martin’s fastest road car ever after surpassing its maker’s predictions and comfortably breaking the 320 km/h mark.

The ultra exclusive £1.2 million car (only 77 will be made) is currently in the later stages of development ahead of its planned debut in 2010. During high speed testing at an undisclosed proving ground in southern Europe, the One-77 recorded a 354.86 km/h top speed in dry but windy conditions.

Powered by a new 7.3 litre V12 engine with over 750 bhp, the One-77 features a new carbon fibre monocoque body structure and adopts active aerodynamic technology. Gaydon describes it as “the ultimate expression of what Aston Martin stands for which will combine modern technology and design with craftsmanship and ultimate exclusivity to create the world’s most desirable automotive art form.”

Check out our previous post for an undisguised view of the One-77.

    rally_fan is right… It's not impossible now to see that car in malaysia too actually. There are a lot of malaysian afford to buy Ferrari, lamborghini, bently, roll-royce, maybach etc nowadays.

    I don'y understand why James Bond always drives an aston martin. it's like too obvious and showy for a spy right? A spy isn't supposed to show off, he is supposed to blend in.

    Bond is British. And no car maker is quintessentially more British than an Aston Martin. What would you rather him drive? a Roller or a Rover75?

    Its moot point anyway…there are no more British car manufacturers anymore..

    Bond being showy is how he fits in.
