Auto news; Aston Martin One-77 Aston Martin releases a second murky picture of the Project One-77 supercar.
Aston Martin has officially unveiled a second teaser shot of the One-77 supercar – days after it leaked onto the Internet.

As the name suggests, only 77 will be made with a base price of £1,050,000, not including VAT or any extras! Exclusivity is therefore guaranteed.

At present there’s little by way of official information about this new halo product, but Aston has now confirmed that deliveries will begin at the end of 2009 and given away rough engine specs.

Set to be powered by a 7.3-litre V12 engine with an output ‘expected to top 700bhp’, the One-77 will boast a top speed of over 200mph and feature ‘active aerodynamic technology’. Presumably that refers to a retractable rear spoiler, which would explain the cut out section seen clearly beneath the rear glass in this new image.

Underpinned by a new carbon fibre monocoque body, the two-seater retains the classic Aston Martin look, though adds aggressive side scoops and detailing like roof creases and bonnet vents to set it apart. Weight is expected to hover around the 1,500kg mark, and the car will get adjustable suspension and carbon ceramic brakes.

All 77 One-77 customers will be able to specify either a right or left hand drive car, with the opportunity to work with Aston Martin in creating a completely bespoke vehicle – with the entire interior and chassis setup open to customisation.
