$1,831,776 Aston Martin One-77



It's hard to think of a DB-9 or Vanquish as anything other than automotive perfection, so when the Brits in Gaydon say the One-77 is the embodiment of Aston Martin design, color us interested. The ultra-exclusive two-seat supercar seems to have it all: a 700 hp V12, carbon fiber chassis, aluminum body, and the ultimate in Aston design. The One-77 has an exclusive price tag of about £1,050,000 or $1,831,776 before taxes, too, and even the Paris Motor Show isn't a big enough venue to unveil the full design to the world.

Aston Martin is sure playing up the anticipation for the One-77, and even though there is absolutely no shot we'll ever get to drive one, we're taking the bait. Teasers and sneak peaks are all we're getting at this point, and with a full year before it goes on sale, we could be waiting a bit longer. Aston CEO Bez Ulrich and chief designer Mark Reichman sat down to discuss the One-77 with the cameras rolling, and the two key players on team Martin seem to be in love with this vehicle.

ford dropped aston?

Ford dropped everything. Ford sold Aston to an independent group, and Jag and Rover to another auto group. GM sold off like half of GMAC i believe. Ford is now....Ford Lincoln Mercury. and i was wrong, this is Aston's second car out after the sale in Dec '07.

yeah, you're right...they do own volvo, which reminds me about the 1/3 interest they have in Mazda.

Mazda seems to be putting out some decent product as of late too. I kinda like the NEW mazda 6. Mazdaspeed3 is ugly but a quick lil bugger for what it is.

well...he doesn't move much after a litre of mouthwash...but i poke him with a stick to make sure he doesn't drown in his own slobber. true, it is an econobox, but i thought with that autostick or whatever you call it...it'd move a little faster through traffic, but no...i was rocking the car, back and forth, hoping to pick up momentum off the line.


anyways, i think Aston is in better hands now. Either Ford had Aston engineers working on Jags, or vice versa....but they started resembling each other.

car companies were hurting. they had to save themselves from bankruptcy, i think i remember hearing Ford taking out like a BIllion dollar loan. GM kept all their subsidiaries, but sold like half of GMAC, one of the largest, if not the biggest financing company there is.
