2010 Aston Martin One-77

Likely the most impressive road going machine that Aston Martin has ever produced, the One-77 is deliberate and by deliberate I mean that everything that has been engineered on the car has one purpose – that purpose is thoroughbred performance. One-77 designers had no boundaries in mind during the design phase of this masterpiece. They’ve pulled out all of the stops to make this one of the most incredible cars that the world has ever seen. Make no mistake about it. The Aston Martin One-77 will pin you to the back of your seat and keep you there all while looking like a work of art worthy of being displayed in the Louvre.

This ultra low front mid-mounted Cosworth 7.3L naturally aspirated V12 monster produces a huge 700 bhp and 553 lb-ft of torque. Literally, the V12 block sits almost half way into the front of the cockpit and manages to sport a dry sump lubrication system as well. Not to mention that due to the low production run (77 only) of this exclusive Aston, the entire engine is billet aluminum. Every piece is machined individually and not cast.  Attached to the mammoth power plant is a rear mounted 6 speed automated manual transmission with an Auto Shift Manual/Select Shift Manual (ASM/SSM) electro-hydraulic control system.

The body is an absolute work of art with its large front air dam’s, huge side fins and aggressive rear diffusers. The body panels are all hand crafted and shaped aluminum sheet metal. Fabricators at the Aston Martin production plant shape each panel with an English Wheel and weld them all together by hand. The inner body and chassis structure is a carbon fiber monocoque. The rear of the One-77 has a manually deployable spoiler as well.

In the suspension department you are looking at a front and rear, pushrod actuated, adaptive ride height setup supporting the relatively light 1500kg supercar. Carbon ceramic Matrix brakes provide the neck snapping deceleration you’d expect from a ride like this.

Performance wise the Aston Martin One-77 truly delivers. 0-60 time is 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 220.007 mph (354.067 km/h). Keeping this bullet glued to the ground are Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires that are 255/35ZR20 in the front and 335/30ZR20 in the rear. With specs like these you know for sure that this car won’t come cheap and you’re right. Expect to spend $1,700,00 on it!
