When one talks about rare cars, there are a couple of names that must be mentioned. One of them is the Aston Martin One-77 which was built from the get go to create panic amongst collectors.
As you might very well know, the ultra-exclusive model was manufactured in only 77 units and all of them were done after customers paid for them and told the British company exactly what they would prefer on it.
These choices were limited to the design and materials used, of course, as the power train remained the same in all of them. That means when you’re looking at a One-77 you’re actually admiring a 7.3-liter V12 naturally aspirated engine making 750 HP and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque. All that is then connected to a 6-speed sequential gearbox that sends the grunt to the rear wheels.
The car is also light on its feet considering the size of the engine alone and will do 200 mph (320 km/h) with ease, some tests even showing greater speeds, the Aston being clocked at 220 mph (354 km/h) on some occasions. The 0-60 mph (96 km/h) sprint takes around 3.5 seconds.
As you can tell, buying one of these isn’t cheap. However one was spotted in a Belgian dealership of exotics not too long ago making us wonder whether it was up for sale.
Dressed in what looks like Dark Brown the One-77 simply lit up the room, despite it being filled with all sorts of other supercars, like the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster, for instance. Chances are very small that you’ll be able to buy that Aston though.
We reckon that it was only put up for display as selling it would be an immensely stupid thing to do. Even so, if one was to want to depart ways with it, we can only imagine how high the price tag would go. To put things in perspective, think about the fact that the purchase price was GBP1,150,000 ($1.8 million/€1.5 million) in the first place.
