Astom
Martin One-77
Aston
Martin was recently sold by the Ford
Motor Co. to a consortium led by Prodrive
owner and racing magnate David Richards. In
addition to putting the final touches on its
upcoming Rapide grand touring 4-door sedan, the
slick British automaker is marketing an extremely
exclusive sports car that will be built entirely
to order and custom-fit and trimmed to the taste
of each buyer. The cost: a mere 1.2 million pounds
(US$1.75 million). Only 77 of these cars will be
built, hence the One-77 moniker. The low-slung
coupe, built on a carbon-fiber monocoque structure
with hand-shaped aluminum body panels, will
reportedly be powered by a front-mounted 7.3-liter
V12 engine that should develop more than 700
horsepower. Even at such a price, the One-77
is already sold out.
