Aston Martin One-77 Completely Sold Out, Nobody Shocked

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.

Aston Martin To Revive Lagonda Brand, Offer Two New Super Saloons

Aston Martin is planning to reawaken the slumbering Lagonda name and plaster it on two ultra-luxury sedans beginning in 2011. The first Lagonda will be based on the already nearing production Aston Martin Rapide, though dressed to impress and sporting a higher price tag to match. The other offering would go live sometime in 2012 and settle in as a Mercedes S-Class fighter, dredging the depths of the consumer market near the bottom at the paupers price of $100,000. With the mega-luxe sports sedan market filling up quickly we can hardly wait for 2030 when they'll all be cluttering the used car lots. [AutoNews Sub. Req.]

Aston Martin Releases One-77 Teaser Video For Us Plebes

The Aston Martin One-77 has only been partially unveiled at the Paris Auto Show to all but a select few monied d-bags, but Aston have now just released this first official video of the $1.9-million masterpiece, you know, for us plebes. There's a few quick glimpses of the actual car here, but mostly it's just Aston CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez and designer Marek Reichman hyping up the limited-production car, babbling on about emotion and essence. We just wish they'd show us the whole thing already. [via Aston Martin]

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

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?

Aston Martins Look Lame In New James Bond-Flavored Coke Zero Commercial

With everyone looking forward to the new James Bond movie, Quantum Of Solace, there isn't a brand out there that doesn't want a slice of juicy cross-promotion. We can't imagine Bond to be the type that would prefer a sugar-free cola over a normal Coke, but that doesn't matter right now. We're just let down by how cheesy the CG Aston Martins look in this otherwise cool, stylized opening-credits-like ad. [via CarDomain]

First Image Of The New Flagship Aston Martin One-77 Released

This is the first official image of Aston Martin's new flagship supercar, known for now as the One-77 to indicate its exclusivity: only 77 units will be constructed. With a price tag of nearly $2 million (£1M), the One-77 promises to be a spectacular machine, helped along by a 7.0-liter V12 that's sure to be impressive. The body will be aluminum with a carbon-fiber chassis, but we'll have to wait and see just how much weight that really saves — as with engine output, Aston Martin isn't releasing any official numbers yet. Estimates figure the One-77 will be able to launch from 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds and top out at over 200 MPH. Those are impressive figures, but for a car that stickers for more than a Bugatti Veyron, they'd better be. [AutoExpress via Autoblog]

2009 aston martin v8 vantage

2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Reviewed

The lucky buggers over at Popular Mechanics recently got their hands on the revised 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. With a larger 4.8-liter, 420 HP engine and modified suspension, they find the $119,500 British sports car to be more refined, more focused, faster, and a welcome antidote to the "stuffy" DB9...if still not quite up there with the Porsche 911. Should you have the means, they highly recommend picking one up, as long as it comes with the optional Sport Pack.

Garage419 Behind The Scenes At Lime Rock...And Behind The Wheel Of A Vanquish

Matt Farah, host of Garage419, chats it up with Grand Am drivers at Lime Rock Park during the last race on the original historic track surface. That's cool and all, but the footage of Farah blasting through Connecticut in an Aston Martin Vanquish is worth the click.

New Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Now With A Little More V8

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a gorgeous car, but anyone who's ever driven one has always been left with a feeling that the V8's bark was bigger than it's bite. It's more of a show dog than a hunting dog. Sure you could send the Vantage off to Prodrive for some performance tuning, or if you didn't mind sitting around for awhile, you could wait for the mighty V12-powered Vantage RS to come out. But nobody with a need for more speed wants to wait. So now, the old 4.3-liter V8 is being enlarged to a bigger 4.7-liter V8. More »
