Aston Martin has jumped onto the ultra exclusive supercar bandwagon, and this Aston Martin One-77 you see above like its namesake is one of 77 that will be built. I trust that Aston Martin will have no problems making it look extremely sexy as with all of their existing products, so let’s have a look at its other features.

The One-77 will have a body hand-made with aluminium, and a carbon fiber chassis underneath it. This means it will likely be very light and nimble, and propelling it to 100km/h in roughly 3.5 seconds will be a monstrous 7.0 litre V12 engine.

Now if any premium car manufacturer wants to create a supercar I highly recommend they take this path instead of the overweight giant that is the Bugatti Veyron, no matter how many turbochargers that thing has. Something like the One-77 feels so much more special. Aston Martin’s press release did not state a price but with only 77 units available, some are quoting prices of about 1 million pounds.

    Looking at the wheelbase, I suspect the One-77 is based on the McLaren SLR Mercedes. Front-mid-engine, side exit exhaust, flat undertray, etc.

    I’m pretty sure Gordon Murray and David Richards met over coffee and toyed with the idea some time ago ( maybe at a time prior to Richards acquiring Aston).

    What a brilliant looking car it is, even when looking at the teaser image. And the 7.0-litre V12 sounds like the AMG block Merc build for the Pagani Zonda (but in the Zonda it is a 7.3-litre block).

    Ah, if only I had a million-plus sterling Pounds now.. *sigh*

    there are tons of these types of cars and will be more of these on the roads from other manufacturers. the veyron on the other hand will be rare.

    question is….ford interior or tata interior?
