Mmm! New Aston
« on: 02 May 2010, 23:20:24 »

"The One-77 is alive. Aston's £1.2m, 220mph, 700bhp hypercar got its first public outing on Friday, leading a monstrous posse of supercars from Central London to Silverstone to celebrate the opening of the new Grand Prix circuit."  :y :y

I find that rather ugly  :( No where near as gorgeous as a DB9/DBS.

Wish I could afford one. A friend of mine works for Aston Martin as a corporate lawyer, and gets to drive any model model he wants!
LUCKY BARSTEWARD. :D
Mind you he doesn't get one as a company car. ;D

Ditto. From the side the One77 looks like the Mclaren SLR and the front like an Audi R8. Give me a DB9 any day.

You were lucky to see that - I don't think it's even been released yet has it?

That and the DB9 would be my 2 car garage if my 6 numbers came up  8-)

I think the One-77 looks far less beautiful than the rest of the range but if you want that much power you have to force a lot of air through it and the ducts look aggressive.  It may well serve to make the other (more affordable??? :)) models even more attractive.
