Priced at $1.4 million each, the Aston Martin One-77 is an extremely special edition super car limited to only 77 units, all of them already sold to lucky owners who will be getting a 6.0 Liter V12 that makes 700 HP. The One-77 weighs in at a mere 3,300 pounds, thanks in large part to the extensive use of carbon fiber. The One-77 is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 seconds in under 3.5 seconds and will have a top speed well in excess of 200 MPH. In fact, the One-77 became the fastest Aston Martin ever when it reached 220.007 MPH.
A while ago it was rumored that the Aston Martin One-77 supercar was sold out. Not true. However, the supercar is selling better than expected. After less than a year since its official launch, Aston Martin has sold 60 One-77 units, despite its incredible $1.87 million plus tax price. That just leaves 17 units unaccounted for at this time, so if you were a good boy this year, start your praying and maybe Santa will deliver one for you for Christmas.
If you do decide to mortgage out your house and purchase a One-77, then you should know that for all its One-77 customers, Aston Martin is offering the possibility to choose an Aston Martin Cygnet city car to match. According to Aston, most of the clients have already said yes to the little Cygnet because they say it is the ideal car for hanging off the rear of a yacht and can be used as an everyday car. So, basically, in order to buy and appreciate a Cygnet you must have a yacht and a One-77. This little car is getting kind of expensive, huh?
If you just got a big year end bonus at that high-end job, head over to your local Aston Martin dealer and order yourself a One-77. According to the Dutch Autoblog, 22 examples of the gorgeously styled, uber-fast, and sensationally expensive machine are still for sale. One would have thought that this vehicle would have sold out by now, but it seems that only 55 of the 77 are spoken for.
While some might think that this is an issue for the company, Aston isn’t worried since the official production version of the One-77 hasn’t even been produced yet. That’s right, 55 vehicles were sold and the car hasn’t even been built. Of course, the fact that the production of this supercar has dragged out for so long may be the reason why some of those contracts have yet to be signed.
Next month, those customers that do have a solid contract for the supercar will get to drive the One-77 for the first time. We don’t doubt that everybody who drives this 750 horsepower machine will fall in love, which may be a good marketing tool to finally get rid of the remaining models.
When Aston Martin revealed the One-77 supercar they announced it would be powered by the same 6.0-liter V12 engine featured in the DB9. This would lead some people to expect the One-77 to produce about 470hp as the DB9 does or 700hp like the previous One-77 model. Those people would be horribly, horribly wrong. The Aston Martin One-77’s V12 engine has been tuned to deliver an insane 750 HP and 750Nm of torque, making it the most powerful naturally aspirated engine in the world today.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, Chief Executive of Aston Martin said: "The One-77 is approaching a production reality and of course, there is considerable excitement in the project. Now the next steps are all about details and refinement to complete the composition. I know the final car will demonstrate what the Aston Martin team is capable of."
The One-77 will feature a front mid-mounted engine and the transmission mounted toward the rear of the car. What will be unique to the One-77 will be that the suspension will be mounted inboard to further increase the weight to the ideal center of the car. It will be limited to only 77 units and priced at $1.3 million.
The beautifully sleek and outrageously fast Aston Martin One-77 is making headlines again, and this time it is strutting its stuff on the famous Nurburgring track under a very promiscuous sounding name. “Dirty Shirly” was seen undergoing about 14 mysterious activities while taking a few laps around the track and it still looks as beautiful as when it was seen at the Silverstone track and on the streets of London. We simply can’t get enough of this car, and at a price of about $1.3 million and a limited quantity of 77, this is as close as we are going to get to one of them.
The same can’t be said, however, for a certain gentleman in the Middle East who, rumors suggest, has already purchased 10 copies of the supercar from Aston for a “bargain” $18.5 million. If these rumors are true then this chap will have 10 copies of the amazing supercar powered by the 6.0L V12 based off the engines found in the V12 Vanquish and the V12 Vantage. What makes the One-77 even more spectacular is that the engine has been modified to deliver over 700 horsepower. Aston has stated that this supercar was created with DTM series race cars in mind and these numbers absolutely show proof of that.
Picture are all well and good, especially when you don’t have a whole lot of options to choose from. However, as is the case, ’pictures may be worth a thousand words; videos are worth the whole library’.
When we recently scooped up photos of that divine white Aston Martin One-77 frolicking around in the streets of London on its way to the rally parade at the new Silverstone racetrack, we figured that it would only be a matter of time before videos of the whole shindig found themselves on YouTube.
Turns out, we didn’t have to wait long.
At $2 million a pop, it’s not hard for the One-77 to stand out, even if it’s accompanied by a large number of supercars. That’s exactly where the One-77 found itself as it was joined by a what’s what of supercars on its way to the Silverstone rally. Some eagle-eyed fellows managed to take a video of the supercar at the St. James district in London as it rolled around the streets with everybody possessing two eyes staring at it intently. That is, of course, the price you pay for being a $2 million supercar, something only a handful of other cars in this world can boast.
