Here we have another incredible and ultra-rare Aston Martin in the form of the One-77. The One-77 made its official debut at the 2008 Paris Motor Show for the 2009 model year and is powered by a 7.3-liter V12 with 750 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque paired to either a six-speed manual, five-speed automatic, or six-speed automated manual gearbox. It launches from zero to 60 mph in around 3.5 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 220 mph. At the time it was released, the One-77's V12 was the most powerful naturally-aspirated engine and the fastest Aston Martin ever made. The One-77 utilizes a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, an aluminum body, and an adjustable pushrod suspension mated with dynamic stability control. Its interior is typical of Aston Martins of this era, which are premium and simplistic.
As indicated by its name, Aston Martin's production run of the One-77 was limited to 77 total units, with its production run ending in 2012. The One-77 is currently valued at roughly $2-2.5 million on the resale market. In addition, it has won a handful of best design awards at prestigious car shows and by various automotive publications. Like the Valkyrie in the previous post, this year's Exotics on Broadway in Monterey that I attended two months ago marked the first time I ever saw a One-77 up close. This moment was 10+ years in the making, and I was in complete awe seeing the One-77 in person for the first time. Overall, the Aston Martin One-77 is incredibly stunning and one of the coolest and most impressive Aston Martins of all time. It may be more than ten years old, but despite its age, the One-77 is one of those cars that could pass as a new car today with its amazing and beautiful modern design and great performance figures.
