Aston Martin One-77

Aston Martin One-77

The british car manufacturer built the ultimate supercar, the Aston Martin One-77, which made its official (but very discrete) premiere at the 2008 Paris Auto show. The looks of this car is what astonishes me the most: it's strongly inspired by Aston Martin's legacy of very similar models (V8 vantage, V12 vantage, DB9, DBS, Rapide, Virage...). Yet, it is a unique piece of art with a real personnality. You can't help but like this true supercar. Because indeed, it is a true supercar: yhis beast has a V12 engine delivering more than 700 horse power, allowing the 0 to 100 km/h in 3,5 seconds.

Only 77 units will be made, which explain the name "One-77". The price tag for this very rare beauty? It starts at 1,3 million euros. Although the car's official commercialization started at the end of 2009, we've only really been starting to see them at the end of 2010 / beginning of 2011, due to delays. Among the already famous ones, the white Aston Martin One-77 from Abu Dhabi with plate number "77" (now this is quite original and elite, huh?) and the black one from Monaco. Many other One-77s were seen, mostly with swiss or english plates.

But what really stands out (as of may 2011) is this insane spot by Demon348 in Paris: he spotted not one but TWO Aston Martin One-77, in the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, in Paris. I had seen the brown one the day before but couldn't get a picture nor a video, but he was lucky to see them both a black one and the brown one! What an incredible sight!!!
