Words: Gentleman's Journal
Aston Martin is an unique British brand. Producing iconic cars, such as the famous James Bond DB5 and the timeless DB9. Now, Aston Martin has used a centuries worth of experience to fabricate a car that is beautiful yet vicious.
Take one look at the at the One-77, and you know it means business. The 200mph British supercar is the fastest, most powerful and the most expensive model ever to wear the badge.
The Chief executive, Dr Ulrich Bez stated “From the beginning, the vision was for the car to combine high technology with hand-built craftsmanship, and demonstrate the unique capabilities and passion of our designers and engineers. It had to be the ultimate expression of Aston Martin.”
On looks alone, it’s unmistakably an Aston. However, there seems to be something very different that sets it apart form the Aston family. This Aston has had a much stronger dose of muscle, with it’s aggressive nose, bulging wheel arches and bold detailing. There is no compromise when it comes to the interior too. The cabin is simply, luxurious. Distinctive weaved leather on the low-slung seats, with black and white hide on the dash and centre console with a trace of carbon fibre.
The most impressive feature is the 7.3-litre V12 engine. Developed in Britain, it’s the world’s most powerful production car engine ever. The result is 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 200mph, plus a mind-blowing soundtrack from the exhaust.
With the most advanced technology, design and standards of construction, this has to be one of the greatest supercars of all time. Aston Martin.com
