Geneva 2009 - Aston Martin One-77 [FLAGGED TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE SUPERCAR EVER]

Aston Martin has lifted the wraps off the One-77 at the Geneva Motor Show. The One-77 is a new take on Aston’s familiar, and gorgeous, silhouette.

Giving a two-finger salute to the Global Financial Crisis, the One-77 is powered by a stonking 7.3 litre V12 which Aston are confident will produce more than 700bhp. A dry sump also allows the engine to be fitted 100mm lower to the ground, contributing towards a more optimum centre of gravity.

Power gets to the road via rear rubber measuring 335/30ZR20, and is controlled with a strengthened 6-speed sequential manual box.

The carbon-fibre monocoque chassis helps give the car great rigidity, but also aids weight reduction, with the One-77 said to tip the scales at under 1500kg. Sure, that’s not especially light, but with 700+ horses at the ready, you don’t have to be Einstein to calculate that this car will be fast. Very fast! Claims of a v-max exceeding 320km/h and being capable of accelerating from rest to 100km/h in 3.5 seconds are being made by Aston Martin.

For the finishing touch, the One-77 is a car tailored to each buyer. Aston Martin technicians will tweak the suspension to suit individual customers.
