Aston Martin’s One-77 supercar will be the firm’s fastest ever production car having been clocked at more than 220mph in testing.
The 7.3-litre V12-powered Aston Martin One-77 has been undergoing intensive development at a southern European proving ground ahead of the first deliveries of the car to customers in the summer. Aston has also released the first pictures of the One-77 in action.
The record for fastest road-going Aston is currently held by the Vanquish, which had a top speed of slightly over 200mph. The £1.2 million One-77 has recorded 220.007mph in dry yet windy conditions and Aston expects it to be able to go even faster in improved conditions.
Just 77 examples of the two-seater One-77 will be sold, with buyers required to make a £200,000 deposit to secure one. Features include a carbonfibre monocoque chassis and active aerodynamics.
Aston describes the car as being the ultimate expression of what it stands for, combing modern technology, craftsmanship and exclusivity. Next year will be a busy one for Aston with new products going on sale in market areas it hasn’t competed in before, including the four-door Rapide, the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet and the One-77 itself.

Re: One-77 to be fastest Aston ever
Cor! Looks splendid! However, when Aston crows about a new model's top speed, history has shown - eg the Vanquish S - that it's to divert attention from none-too competitive times for 0-60, 0-100 & 0-125mph acceleration. Let's hope the One-77 reverses this trend.

Re: One-77 to be fastest Aston ever
I would probably buy one, if i i had the money. I like it a lot.
I will settle for driving it with commitment when GT5 comes out as i'm sure it will be included.
