Aston Martin

Thank you for registering to find out more about the Aston Martin Project One-77.

Over the coming months we will share more details about the Aston Martin One-77. From its conception, through to the first test drives, and its breathtaking performance, you will be able to follow the whole story as it unfolds on www.One-77.com.

The first in the series of videos is now live on the site and it introduces the design philosophy behind the world's most desirable automotive art form.

"One-77 expresses all the know-how that Aston Martin has collected in recent years. It is the expression of all the beauty we could bring to a car, it's an expression of all the emotions that we can bring in the car and by this, it is an expression of what Aston Martin stands for." Dr Ulrich Bez, CEO Aston Martin.

We will let you know each time new video content is uploaded to the site.

With car sales slumping in the shadow of a global credit crunch, Aston Martin have announced the news that the world's most expensive car in the world, their forthcoming new One-77, has its order book packed with customers. Limited to a run of just 77 examples and partially uncovered only last week in Paris, Aston have been able to secure in excess of 100 orders - the first deliveries for the 1.2 million pound 200 mph supercar expected to begin in autumn to those who've already put forward their cool £200,000 deposit.

Details are scarce, but the One-77 is expected to have a carbon fibre chassis, aluminium body panels and boast a 7.3-litre V12 block. The One-77 designation is however no reference to any of the car's workings, chief designer Reichmann explaining: "The number 75 just seemed way too obvious and normal; the number 77 was just two lucky sevens."

The announcement follows warnings over slowing European car sales in September, usually the hottest month for new registrations. Sales dropped most in Britain, down a fifth, while Western European sales saw a 9.3 percent decrease over September last year. With the release of the One-77, the £800,000 Veyron, presently the world's priciest new car, slips to second place.

The Aston Martin One-77 supercar poked its head out at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, but, other than that, the One-77 has been kept under some pretty tight wraps. But the straps are apparently loosening as images of the Aston Martin One-77 have leaked online.

Although not officially confirmed by Aston Martin, the One-77 will pack a 7.0 or 7.3 liter V12, delivering 700 horsepower and 533 pound-feet of torque. An automated manual gearbox with Auto Shift Manual and Select Shift Manual will come standard, as will a retractable rear spoiler, carbon ceramic brakes, and adaptive suspension.

Top speed is expected to be over 200 mph, and naught to sixty should take a mere 3.5 seconds.

The 3,300 lbs car has a carbon fiber chassis and aluminum body panels. Styling is pure Aston, complete with the brand’s signature front grille and bite-the-back-of your-hand good looks.

U.K. pricing has been confirmed at £1,050,000, which will put U.S. pricing somewhere between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000. Deliveries are expected to begin in late 2009.
