There were only ever 77 examples of Aston's exquisite 760hp flagship. Here's a chance to get number 76 😍
Wind the clock back to the late 2000s, however, and Aston Martin was squarely a GT maker. So when the time came to produce a limited-run piece of unobtanium for the world's wealthiest, it was only ever going to be front-engined. And arguably one the era’s all-time greats. On the outside, it looks like a Vanquish on steroids. A giant grille, a smattering of vents and a two-metre track with its aluminium bodywork stretched over the wheels.
It was all business, too. While today’s hypercars are cluttered with wings, the One-77’s design majors on subtlety. A gigantic rear diffuser helps generate downforce for greater stability at higher speeds, as does a small pop-up wing that neatly integrates into the bodywork when not in use. A common sight today, less so in 2009.
That, and it was lugging around a massive V12. Specifically, a Cosworth-tuned 7.3-litre naturally aspirated unit producing 760hp and 553lb ft of torque. It was the most powerful production engine of its kind back in the day, though Cosworth has since trumped that with a smaller displacement with the Valkyrie. The only thing that wasn’t cutting edge about the One-77 was its gearbox which, apparently, was utterly woeful.
As the name suggests, Aston Martin only built 77 examples , each carrying a price tag of around £1.4 million. It’d likely sell out in an instance if it launched today, but back in 2009 – amid one of the biggest financial crashes the world has seen – the One-77 was a tough sell. That being said, all 77 examples found owners and, allegedly, all are still in existence - despite the odd shunt.
An exceptionally rare car for the exceptionally wealthy. Buyers seem to love them, as they rarely grace the PH classifieds. This iscurrently up for sale, and it’s also one of the last ever produced. Number 76 of 77 is a stunner, with its Cobalt Blue paint and matching wheels complementing the blue-on-tan interior beautifully.
