Aston Martin didn’t display the One-77 at the Geneva Motor Show, but it wasn’t about to let the opportunity to grab some attention pass, so they released this video showcasing the upcoming, highly rated, and highly anticipated One-77.
The uber-Aston is apparently capable of clearing top speed of almost 355km/h. Powered by a new 7.3-liter V12 engine from the company and utilising an all carbon fiber monocoque body, only 77 examples of the new Aston Martin will ever be made and deliveries are set to begin mid-2010. Official Aston Martin press release after the jump.
Aston Martin’s One-77 supercar has moved closer to setting a new all-time record for the British marque in initial high speed testing after surpassing all predictions and comfortably breaking the 200mph mark.
The One-77 is currently undergoing a stringent development process ahead of planned launch in 2010 with high speed testing taking place at a top secret proving ground in southern Europe. In a series of test runs completed last week the One-77 exceeded original expectations and recorded a 220.007mph (354.86kmh) top speed in dry but windy conditions under the guidance of the Aston Martin engineering team. Dynamic testing is now scheduled to continue into the New Year.
Powered by a new Aston Martin 7.3 litre V12 engine, the One-77 is engineered to deliver breathtaking levels of power and performance. The dramatically styled two-door, two-seat sports coupe is based on an innovative new carbon fibre monocoque body structure and adopts new active aerodynamic technology.
The One-77 is the ultimate expression of what Aston Martin stands for and will combine modern technology and design with craftsmanship and ultimate exclusivity to create the world’s most desirable automotive art form.
As name suggests, production is limited up to a maximum of 77 individually numbered examples, with deliveries expected to commence in mid-2010.
