EVO magazine article on One-77 (and some pics):

Aston Martin's One-77 hypercar is now much closer to reality. After months of teasing information and pictures, the car has been revealed in full and chassis number 01 is on display at the Geneva motor show.

The display itself is split between two cars – a model of the production car’s exterior, as well as an open display of some of the One-77s mechanicals. Aston has also revealed a couple of production car shots.

The £1million+ One-77 looks set to be a bit of a technological marvel, too. Its structural core is a lightweight yet tough carbonfibre monocoque, visible on the first chassis (pictured), while racing technology is filtered down to the car in the shape of inboard suspension. Double wishbones at each corner are combined with pushrods that transfer vertical suspension movements to horizontally mounted spring/damper units, resulting in reduced unsprung weight and neater packaging of the suspension.

There are also fully adjustable dampers which feature advanced Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) technology. It’s a world-first on a road car, and allows the One-77’s shock-absorbing characteristics to be tweaked without parts being removed from the car. Aston’s engineers will also develop each individual One-77’s suspension to suit its owner, the bespoke and exclusive nature of the car allowing you to set up anything from a long distance cruiser to a Nordschleife demolisher, apparently.

Performance should be pretty scorching too, with a target weight of 1500kg mated to a rather potent 7.3-litre V12. Final figures haven’t been disclosed but 700bhp+, 200mph+ and 3.5sec to 60mph are on the cards.


Great shots of chassis.

I actually love the looks of the car! If you take a look at the chassis in the last couple of pictures, all the CF and polished aluminum that went into the construction of the chassis just scream supercar to me! Plus, INBOARD SUSPENSION!!!!! That's straight racecar stuff! Those lights are killer but the one area where Aston dropped the ball on the One-77 (besides the price) was the wheels. I would've loved to see something more exciting. Perhaps a centerlug version of the V12 Vantage wheel?

I really like this car. I actually love it. But who and the hell said, "Hey, let's buy Aston and then make our first car cost a million F**king dollars...yea that sounds good." If this was indeed the vanquish replacement priced like the vanquish then this would be a sure fire winner.

I like this car too, but to my mind this car should be priced maximum like SLR to be a sure winner. It is simply do not worth one million pounds, there are really unique cars to choose for that price tag, like Zonda Cinque or Bugatti Veyron.

I think it's REALLY good looking, especially in blue, but to me, this design - and by that I mean exterior styling - would be perfect as a Vanquish replacement. The front grille and rear haunches, and the squat appearance just reminds me of the Vanquish.

Concerning the price point, here's something for you to laugh at: In Denmark, we have a 25% VAT. On top of that, in the vehicle registration tax for a car is 180%, if you want to be able to actually drive it on public roads. So, on the road, in Denmark, this car would cost something in the neighborhood of 3.5 million Euros....
