ASTON MARTIN REVEALS ONE-77

Aston Martin is poised to deliver a limited-production supercar that may prove to be the world’s most expensive. Priced at a cool £1 million (about $1.5 million, at current exchange), the car which is code named One-77 will debut next year as the supreme expression of the Aston Martin brand. The One-77 is made of stiff, lightweight carbon fiber composite and a handcrafted aluminum body. The car will employ a version of the 6-liter V-12 engine in the DB9/DBS, enlarged to 7 liters and likely rated between 600 and 650 horsepower. The One-77 will fly to a top speed in excess of 200 mph. Production is fittingly capped at 77 units.
