Aston Martin One-77 – ten units sold to one customer!

Aston Martin One-77 – ten units sold to one customer!

Ultimate luxury and class comes with a price tag. A price tag of 1.2 million pounds to be exact. The item it’s attached to is none other than the gorgeous Aston Martin One-77. But for some, money is no object for desires of the heart, which certainly applies to one customer who purchased 10 of these beauties.

Word is that the £12 million customer in question is of Middle Eastern descent. It should be the biggest purchase from a single customer Gaydon has ever received. The 10 units also represent 13% of the One-77’s total production run of 77 cars. Each the cars were customised with different interiors.

The One-77 has plenty of lucky sevens surrounding it – a 7.3-litre engine with 700 bhp and a limited run of 77 units. The most extreme Aston’s top speed is…no not 700, but an impressive 354 km/h. Acceleration to 96 km/h (60 mph) is achieved in 3.5 seconds.

With this latest supermarket sweep, 65 of the 77 cars are already spoken for. So what are you waiting for? To help you decide, click here to see the pics and hear the V12’s howl.

    i personally think that the One-77 look odd… not nice lah. I’ll still stick to standard DBS or DB9.

    I thought this sort of limited edition will only sell to those Aston Martin hardcore owners? Whom suppose to be a regular AM owner, know AM history, whom appreciate AM engineering, bla bla bla…. Now they sell 10 units to 1 Middle East cutomer!!! wat la…
    Is that mean that not many UK millionairs appreciate AM & wanted to own one?

        Agree with GTI.

        Reading the above comments, I find Malaysian mentality still a bit on the low side. Jumping to conclusions without investigating further.

        Cannot progress la macam ini…

        Why buy a Civic when you can buy a base-line Perodua Viva? come on GTI (whatever your name is) this fellow bought 10 Astons. its too much. you ask why buy a civic. now, a civic means 1 civic. if you want to argue. think first. watch your grammar. use the huge tissue (brain in this case, just giving you a hint because obviously you are too stupid to figure that out) in your thick skull.

        • Relax guys… I said EXCESSIVE flaunting of wealth.. I have no problem with people enjoying their wealth… Infact I recommend it.

          I definitely DO NOT SUPPORT “Living like a miser so that you will die rich” principle.

          But did Bill Gates buy 10 Astons? or 10 Ferraris? Did Warren Buffet buy 10 Bentleys? And these are the well known philanthropists..

          But then again you’re right I shouldn’t assume the worst in people…thanks for “reminding” me.

          Maybe the guy bought the 10 Astons to give away as “lucky draw” .. I saw that in Dubai & Qatar (not Aston.. it was Ferrari n Porche if I’m not mistaken..) ;p

            Guy, please , dont too fast . . AM ONe 77 is a great piece of art. This car has won the concorso d’elerganza design, italy and representing the world’s most desirable automotive art form and full of aesthetic beauty. To this end every single component has been crafted from the finest materials with absolute attention to detail. From the mesmerising weave of the glossy carbon fibre tub and the abstract, sculptural beauty of the dry sump’s oil reservoir, to the unerring precision of the billet machined aluminium suspension mounts, the One-77’s rolling chassis is an automotive masterpiece. We cant just compare one 77 with others car. This car has own personality and soul.

            Guys, the person who buy 10 unit of this car can sell it again to local multibillionaire which the price will increase 30% to 40%. Still cheaper compared to what their gain on fixed deposit every week. Think it.

            please ler kome , jangan le terlalu sempit. malu kat orang luar jer.

    one wonders why there’s no coup d’etat on the royal family.. american protection maybe? anyhoo, they’ll probably play with the cars for about six months maybe, and gets fixated with new toys afterwards.. while the astons rot inside their massive garage.

    No doubt the car is wow, but the cost of maintenance is also wow. Spend it wisely.

    just wish to be GBP1.2mil richer.

  • There’s a rumor in the UK saying that the 77 ‘limited’ units that has been build didn’t managed to sell out… hence the AM decision to sell it more than one unit per person.

    Unlike Lambo Raventon, 20 limited units are fully booked even before the public unvealing. Looks like AM still has some cathing up to do in term of brand pulling power.

    p/s – the said 10 units bought in bulk is by an exotic car dealer… to re-sell it later at premium price… very unlikely for personal uses.

    Looking at the list of richest man in the world, the richest from Middle East is Prince Al Waleed Bin Talal Al Saud, ranked at 19th place. Probably he is the one who “borong” all those Astons.
