Aston Martin One-77 is too expensive, too ugly

Aston Martin has released the first image of its newest flagship - the limited edition One-77. Details are scarce, but the One-77 will be powered by a hand-built 7.0-liter V12 nestled inside an aluminum and carbon fiber chassis. 0-60 times are estimated at 3.5-seconds, with a top speed cresting 200 mph.

77 examples of the £1 million coupe will be produced and customers will be able to customize the bespoke supercar to meet their individual tastes. The One-77 will be revealed later this year (Paris?) and will go on sale shortly afterwards.

This will be the first all-new vehicle from Aston Martin produced after the brand was sold by Ford to a group of investors spearheaded by Prodrive's David Richards. We're also curious to know if the One-77 will play a part in Project Alligator, the rumored collaboration between Aston and Mercedes-Benz. All details will be revealed in due time. Until then let your eyes feast on the only image we have of the upcoming One-77 supercar.

Is this real? I am a bit skeptical...

I hope so..It was probably removed because the automaker asked to..sometimes this happens.

Nice project :thumbup: Thx for the infos :-)

Now we're talking... Exciting stuff. Really hope something eventuates.
Another example as to why the Breaking Car News section would be supported. ;-)

looks like a corvette... wtf.

I think a million squid might be a bit pricey, why so much???

Here's another drool-worthy picture. I think it looks great just, very aggressive but it still retains that distinctive Aston Martin look. Too expensive though but aren't all Astons that way?

I actually see it being a justified price, if Aston build a strong-enough car.. It's an Aston, cmon on. :-)

Other carbon bodied/tubbed cars with as much engine cost a third of the price.

Come on... return of the V8 Vantage Le Mans!

The wraps have come off the ultimate Aston Martin. This stunning machine is an all-new supercar from the famous British firm that will go on sale late next year, taking the company into uncharted territory carrying a £1.2million price tag and power from a 7.0-litre V12 engine.

More expensive than the Bugatti Veyron, the newcomer will be limited to a production run of just 77 cars – hence its current codename, One-77. A real bolt from the blue, Aston has managed to keep the entire project under wraps until now. It will be inviting a select group of customers to see a finished model before the end of the year.

Details are scarce but the One-77 will be powered by a 7.0-litre V12 – boasting around 650bhp – get a handcrafted aluminium body and a carbonfibre chassis. As a result it is likely to do 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds and have a top speed to 220mph. Aston says potential owners will be able to personalise virtually every aspect of the car.
