Aston Martin One-77 development speeding along
22nd December 2009
Aston Martin’s One-77
supercar has moved closer to setting a new all-time record for the British
marque in initial high speed testing after surpassing all predictions and
comfortably breaking the 200mph mark.
The One-77 is currently
undergoing a stringent development process ahead of planned launch in 2010
with high speed testing taking place at a top secret proving ground in
southern Europe.
In a series of test runs completed last week the
One-77 exceeded original expectations and recorded a 354.86kmh (220.007mph)
top speed in dry but windy conditions under the guidance of the Aston Martin
engineering team. Dynamic testing is now scheduled to continue into 2010.
 Powered
by a new Aston Martin 7.3 litre V12 engine, the One-77 is engineered to
deliver breathtaking levels of power and performance. The dramatically
styled two-door, two-seat sports coupe is based on an innovative new carbon
fibre monocoque body structure and adopts new active aerodynamic technology.
The One-77 is the ultimate expression of what Aston Martin stands for
and will combine modern technology and design with craftsmanship and
ultimate exclusivity to create the world’s most desirable automotive art
form.
As the name suggests, production is limited up to a maximum of
77 individually numbered examples, with deliveries expected to commence in
mid-2010.
