Never mind 007, this...
Never mind 007, this is Aston Martinò€™s very own secret agent, the One-77ò€¦ò€¨These leaked images finally reveal the British car makerò€™s ultra exclusive super coupe, first shown as a cloaked concept at this yearò€™s Paris Motor Show.ò€¨
Taking design cues from the DBS and Vantage, the One-77 features an enormous front grille and wide wings with deep air intakes. The flanks get gaping gills too while at the rear is a racing-style diffuser.
ò€¨Though official details on the Bugatti Veyron rival are still scarce, the strict two-seater is said to offer 700bhp from a 6.0-litre V12 engine, making it the most powerful model Aston has ever made.ò€¨Ò ò€¨
Due on sale in 2009, the car will tip the scales at only 1500kg, meaning performance should be absolutely incredible.ò€¨Ò ò€¨But itò€™s not all about speed and power. Likely to cost Ò£1.2million, the Aston will be one of the most expensive machines ever produced, offering an incredible level of personalisation with no two cars being alike. ò€¨Ò ò€¨
Despite this ò€“ and the current financial uncertainty ò€“ interest has reportedly been very strong, with enough names listed on the order books to find homes for the car"s first years of production.
