Aston Martin One-77 revealed at Paris Motor Show


Well, almost revealed…

Aston Martin One-77 at the Paris Auto Show

The Paris Motor Show is under way, and one of the most exciting motors to be unveiled thus far (aside from the slightly strange-looking Lambo) is the Aston Martin that we have only previously seen on the drawing board. Obviously worried that car show fans would be irreparably blinded by its beauty, Aston have only fed us small morsels of the brand new One-77.

From what we can see, the styling is reminiscent of a more aggressive DB7. Beneath its aluminium and carbon fibre chassis will be a humungous 7.0-liter V12, capable of 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 200mph+.

Fancy one? Well keep dreaming: at a time of global recession, the British marque have decided to give it a thoroughly obscene price tag of £1m.

We love the huge air scoops either side of the grill, what do you think? Let us know with a comment and check out more snaps after the jump…

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).
