Aston Martin has released the first image of its newest flagship – the limited edition One-77. Details are scarce, but the One-77 will be powered by a hand-built 7.0-liter V12 nestled inside an aluminum and carbon fiber chassis. 0-60 times are estimated at 3.5-seconds, with a top speed cresting 200 mph.
77 examples of the £1 million coupe will be produced and customers will be able to customize the bespoke supercar to meet their individual tastes. The One-77 will be revealed later this year (Paris?) and will go on sale shortly afterwards.
This will be the first all-new vehicle from Aston Martin produced after the brand was sold by Ford to a group of investors spearheaded by Prodrive's David Richards. We're also curious to know if the One-77 will play a part in Project Alligator, the rumored collaboration between Aston and Mercedes-Benz. All details will be revealed in due time. Until then let your eyes feast on the only image we have of the upcoming One-77 supercar.

If I didn't know better, I'd say it was the next Corvette the C7

Don't get me wrong, I love Astons and that is a beautiful piece of machinery, but that's f*cking pricey. $2 million dollars for an Aston Martin that does 0-60 in 3/10's of a second slower than the 599 GTB? I don't know...the interior must be hand stitched by the queen herself.

It looks like the Chrysler Firepower

Who cares, Chrysler could slip into obscurity and no one will notice.

The Queen can stitch? I though she couldn't even wipe her own arse.
Reese 1:15AM (8/08/2008)
She trained as a mechanic during WWII. Maybe she can't stitch, but at least she could do your oil changes.

Sex doesn't require tissues. That's masturbating that you're doing down there.
Pdexter 2:33PM (8/07/2008)
Huh. So is it time to sell it all and live in poverty for next 10 years to get this machine? I'dd say, yes.
Side some how resembles SLR to me.

Is that your way of bragging about a $200K/yr salary?

I'd have to say I'd be spending my winning ticket the same way. This thing is just beautiful. I can't wait to see more.

hmmm. i didn't know speaking english was a prerequisite for being rich or having good taste in cars.
maybe english isn't his first language! that doesn't prevent him from owning a DB9
