Aston release details of limited-edition coupe
Say hi to the rather sexy One-77, Aston Martin’s new V12 coupe - the first new AM since the company was sold to Ford. Aston will make only 77 models (hence the name, which is provisional), and each customer will be able to customise the supercar to their personal tastes.
The tale of the tape? The One-77 will be powered by a hand-built 7-litre V12 engine, front-mounted and contained within a sleek aluminum and carbon-fibre chassis. It’ll propel you from 0-60 in 3.5-seconds, and has a top speed of more than 200mph (some reports have claimed 220mph).
We expect the car will be launched in the third quarter of 2009. It’ll cost a cool £1.2m.
Aston chairman David Richards said: “It’s a very special car for customers who want to take the bespoke experience to a higher level. Every car will be entirely individual.”
Aston says it has already identified the “500 or so” people likely to be attracted to a car like this, and will take demonstration cars to them, rather than requiring them to visit a showroom. Which is nice.
