The One-77 is Aston Martin's definitive sports car, one that epitomises everything Aston Martin from technology, hand-craftsmanship of the hand rolled aluminium panels to the attention to detail. A culmination of all the marque's know-how, the One-77 delivers effortless beauty guaranteed to stir the senses with performance potential eclipsing any previous Aston Martin. It's this extraordinary workmanship and money-no-object commitment to quality that makes the One-77 unique. It promises a driving experience of unrivalled intensity and excitement while representing the world's most desirable automotive art form.
The One-77 concept will be revealed in the perfect setting at Lake Como showcasing for the first time a complete concept; including full running powertrain and the world premiere of the eagerly anticipated interior design. The interior environment blends the stunning detail of the exterior and draws it inside with incredible meticulousness through the use of exotic materials and hand made parts detailing the quintessence of Aston Martin engineering and design expertise.
Last month Aston Martin showcased a technical illustration of the One-77 at the Geneva Auto Salon, revealing the technical intricacies and engineering excellence that will exist beneath the One-77's handmade body. Since then, the technical illustration has undergone painstaking handcraftsmanship to be developed into a complete car.
Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr Ulrich Bez said: "The One-77 demonstrates the unique capabilities of our company - it encompasses engineering excellence with a great passion from our engineers, designers and technical partners.
"This is a major step in One-77's engineering programme, showing the first complete car, and will demonstrate new benchmarks in many different fields of automotive design.
"The craftsmanship and design that has gone into the creation of the Aston Martin One-77 lifts automotive engineering into the realm of art. With its finely sculpted forms and sleek lines, it is an expression of unparalleled beauty that embodies everything Aston Martin stands for."

Whatever "One-77" means it still diminishes the charismatic presence of this magnificent machine.
ASTON MARTIN please rename this car and I suggest:
VERGE - VORTEX - VECTOR - VIVACE - VELOCE - VEGA
anything but ONE-77.
The One-77 - Hubba Hubba!

Does it look like a DB? Maybe a little, and only in the grill. But although it's all Aston, it's very different from what we've come to expect. Gent's, I love power, but how do they get 730bhp to the ground? This is a rear wheel drive machine right? (Yes, I'm asking, not 100% sure myself.) Have to say, love the look from the front and sides, rear I'm not sold on - just yet.
Looking forward to reading more about this 'beast', and well done to Aston. This, (the One-77) is one magnificent car. Does need a better name though!
