Aston Martin One-77 – Click above for new images in our high-res gallery

Aston Martin finally took the wraps off the first completed One-77 this past weekend at the Concorso d'Eleganza on the shores of Lake Como and came away with the top design prize at the event. Aston Martin CEO Dr Ulrich Bez was on hand to show off the car that we saw in skeletal form at the Geneva Motor Show in March. While the aesthetics of this new Aston have drawn decidedly mixed reviews, there is no doubt that it is a striking machine. The huge grille flanked by large air scoops is a departure from the classically beautiful Astons of the last 15 years and even goes well beyond the DBS. However, when considered in the context of its functionality, the appearance makes much more sense. Check out new high-res images released by Aston Martin today of the first completed One-77 in the gallery below.

oh and whiles its no Ken Block flick,,

turn the speakers UP around the 40 sec mark,,,


oh baby,,,

Yep gorgeous.

There's plenty of films about it on the Aston Martin website too.

It's not the comfortable everyday sports car that other Astons are. This has no or very little soundproofing - designed to allow you to hear that WONDERFUL engine and all the mechanical goings on while propelling you at more than reasonable speeds !

Have a big lip on your driveway ? No problem each One-77 is built to custom for exactly your garage / your road conditions etc. One of these vehicles has been sold into Australia so no doubt the road conditions it's set up for are "atrocious".

Seats ? Do you fit them ? Yep they are essentially custom formed around YOU.

and so on.

Magical, and for the very rich.

Wish I was one !

Spy Shots: Aston Martin One-77 spotted on the 'Ring for the first time, wears new color for the occasion

Aston Martin One-77 at the Nurburgring – Click above for high-res image gallery

Yeah, yeah. We know the Aston Martin One-77 has already shown its hips to the world, but our crack team of spy photographers have managed to lay their lenses on one of the super-exclusive Astons bumping around the Nurburgring. Even better, the megacar is dipped in a new color that we've yet to see. The deep metallic bronze paint is drop dead gorgeous, even on what appears to be nothing more than a pre-production engineering mule.

The One-77 is built to be an exercise in what Aston Martin can accomplish when cost and exclusivity are no barrier. With a 7.3-liter V12 under the hood producing a proletariat-crushing 700 horsepower, the coupe exists in a world detached from reality. That's just fine, though, because Aston Martin is only building 77 of the cars, and with each coming in at a staggering $1.8 million, the people who can afford it aren't of this world anyway.

Tres excellent ! Thanks.

I read in the paper awhile back that one had been sold to an Australian customer. After import duty, taxes and a like the report cost was in the vicinity of 4 million Ozzy! The same article stated that the One-77 was the only Ultra Super car able to be registered in Australia. Apparently the Bugatti Veyron and the Koenigsegg don’t meet the ADR rules? Well that’s what the article said anyway. I love all Astons, some more so than others.

Since this was the only Aston thread i could find in a hurry - just saw an Aston parked across the road from work.... new V12Vantage ! Tres nice.
