Aston Martin One-77 Revealed In A Flourish Of Accidental Leakage

Even though we've been teased by the Aston Martin One-77 via renders, videos and a positively evil skirt lifting at the Paris Motor Show, we haven't seen the real deal yet — until now. Here are the first images of the body shell of the new, $1.9 million supercar with a 700 HP, 7.0-liter V12 and an already spoken-for run of only 77 units. We should be way, way more excited about these shots, but it's pretty true to all of the previous teasers, so there aren't any real surprises here. No shots of the interior yet, but we're sure it'll be swaddled in unicorn leather with baby narwhal ivory tusk knobs.

Aston Martin One-77 Completely Sold Out, Nobody Shocked

Ben Wojdyla — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:01:00 EDT

In not particularly surprising news today, we learn all of the Aston Martin One-77's have been spoken for. We say "not surprising" because, well, there are only going to be 77 built, they're going to be fabulously gorgeous and powerful, and if you throw a product unveil at the Paris Motor Show that's so exclusive the media isn't even invited, we're betting you've got some fairly interested high-rollers willing to sign on the dotted line. Oh don't worry Aston, we'll be fine, just picking up the table scraps you throw our way.

$1.896 million Aston Martin One-77 Sales Contract Leaks With More Pictures, Details

Wes Siler — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:00:00 EDT

It looks like a sales contract for the forthcoming Aston Martin One-77 has leaked, bringing with it details of the price, performance and specifications, as well as two new teaser shots. With 700 HP, 553 lb-ft of torque, a 3,300-pound curb weight and a limited run of only 77 units, the One-77 certainly looks like it’ll be a special car. But can it justify the astronomical, nearly $1.9 million price?

The One-77 will be available in either left- or right-hand drive, has only two seats, uses a carbon monocoque chassis with hand-worked aluminum body panels, active aerodynamics (including deployable spoiler), carbon ceramic brakes and a six-speed automated manual transmission. The engine will be a naturally aspirated 7.3-liter V12, allowing the car to reach 60 in the mid three-second range and top out just north of 200mph.

That all sounds great, but what does the One-77 offer (other than good looks) that, say, a $480,000 Mercedes SLR McLaren 722 doesn’t, and for a fraction of the price? Wow, we never thought we’d ask that. Take a look at the contract and let us know if you spot something in there that’s worth $1.3 million. Us? We're still saving for a ZR1.
