Hot or Not? Aston Martin One-77
I'm speachless. Kinda looks like a Corvette in the door/front-fender area though...hmm. I'll reserve judgement until I see the production version. Can they actually improve on the DB9/DBS's looks?
700hp V12
Bugatti Veyron price
Article follows:
The era of epic supercars is certainly not over at Aston Martin, with the release today of an official teaser for a new flagship model that’s set to enter production in an extremely exclusive run of just 77 cars. The only details released thus far are that it will feature a sophisticated carbon-fiber chassis with a handcrafted aluminum body and a 7.0L V12 powerplant.
The new teaser shows a distinctly Aston Martin, but with an added aggressiveness that even the company’s racing models lack. Side strakes and character lines on the hood plus an indentation above the rear fenders combine to give it a decidedly fast look, even while standing still.
‘One-77’ is only the working title for the car. Last year the ‘DBX’ name was thrown up by the carmaker’s CEO Ulrich Bez, but until now there was very little information available in regards to a new Aston Martin supercar.
The new One-77, meanwhile, is expected to be based around a heavily modified version of the current vertical horizontal (VH) platform. In keeping with the ‘7’ theme of the car, power is rumored to be up around the 700hp (522kW) mark, and this should ensure the One-77 becomes the fastest production Aston in history. Expect to see 0-60mph (96km/h) runs of 3.5 seconds and a top speed in excess of 200mph (320km/h).

I have no thoughts until an actual car comes out, plus I think AM is copying what Lamborghini did to the reventon. Just to much money for not much, atleast on the reventon.

Collector,
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you just a wee bit. This car looks like a brand new platform vs. the Reventon was just, in my opinion, a dressed up Murci.
My $.02
