Upon showing off the complete, production version of Aston Martin’s One-77 yesterday, loyal Fiend Jeff Glucker pointed out he’d rather have a Bugatti Veyron. I’m not usually one to snub one piece of insane metal for another, but I have to make an exception in this case. Aside from all the mystique and awesome that [...]
In the flesh and as delicious as promised, the Aston Martin One-77 was unveiled in Villa d’Este, Italy last weekend. Priced in the stratospheric $2 million range, company CEO Ulrich Bez declared the One-77 wasn’t built to rival the Bugatti Veyron. Honest. The One-77 is a feather weight compared to the multi-ton behemoths we’ve seen [...]
Aston Martin has rolled out the latest of its tell-alls about the company’s sexy One-77. The short video shows off the car’s high-tech, carbon-fiber drenched chassis. Aston Martin also says that all of the sound, vibration and otherwise feel-good stuff that’s usually banished to the elements will be channeled straight through the cockpit. We like. [...]
I. Romanian designer Iulian Bumbu made some predictions about the future of Lamborghini this week with his Insecta concept. The design is based on insect exoskeletons and the resemblance is more than just a passing similarity. Even though Bumbu may have nailed the insect thing, we aren’t sure it works for Lambos.

I know our good Dr. Richardson covered Aston Martin’s unveil of the One-77 at the Geneva Motor Show in his Daily Wrap, but I can’t help but salivate over this rig. With only 77 being produced worldwide and six of those finding their way (legally) into the U.S., this sucker’s guaranteed to be juicy rare. [...]
I. Aston Martin’s One-77 supercar debuted at Geneva. Aston’s only going to build–you guessed it–77 of the $1.75 million rockets, and only six of them are coming here. Britain’s flagship gets a 7.3-liter V12 cranking out 7oo hp and 516 torques. Drool. [Source: Autoweek]
Take another peek at the thought process behind one of the most expensive and exclusive vehicles ever produced. While it’s slick that each of those aluminum body panels are hand rolled by a team of metal workers and the design crew spent late nights whittling away on pounds of clay, we’d like to see something, [...]
Maybe this is Aston Martin’s attempt at curtailing the number of mega-buck ultracars that get totaled by Hollywood Celebs. News has come down the line that only six of the 77 fire-breathing One-77’s will make it to the states. The remainder will be going straight to Abu Dhabi. Well, not all of them, but our [...]
Behold: the One-77, Aston Martin’s near $2 million flag ship. You’re looking at what is believed to be the genuine article, courtesy of our friends over at MotorAuthority. Limited to just 77 production models, the car is guaranteed to be a must-have for sheiks, sultans and Russian oligarchs. The company has already sold out the [...]
Actually the problem is that the worlds’ wealthiest are still buying Ferraris. But my (admittedly snarky) point still stands. The cheapest Aston Martin one can buy — the V8 Vantage — will ding your pocket to the tune of $119,000. That’s a bit more than half of what the average American home sells for. Add [...]
