One of the hot rods like Aston Martin Aston Martin One-77, the first copy of production is officially launched at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, an event dedicated to cars and concepts which is held in Italy.
So, for this machine, which will have a starting price of 1.2 million euros, there are already far more requests than the number of 77 samples scheduled to be built, which puts people from Aston Martin in a dilemma: shall they build more cars, or we will see soon a convertible version, also in a very limited number of copies?

The new Aston Martin One-77 have a modified 6.0 liter V12 engine, which is 25% lighter than the base engine and Aston Martin produces an output power that exceeds 700 hp from a displacement that has increased to 7.3 liters.
The new supercar amazes us with a new configuration for the suspension, ceramic brake discs or the box that cover a 6 speed sequential. Start from 0 to 100 km / h is promised to be achieved in just 3.5 seconds.

With a price of 1.25 million euros, the new British supercar is even more expensive than the Bugatti Veyron. So, what you get in addition to the French model? Not much. In exchange of the model with carbon fiber chassis and aluminum body comes with a manual 7.3 liter V12 engine that will develop somewhere up to 700 hp.
