Aston Martin is showing the all-new Aston Martin One-77 in Geneva. The first in a 77-unit limited edition will be on display during the entire auto show there.

Aston CEO Dr. Ulrch Bez explained: “It had to combine high-technology with hand-built craftsmanship, and demonstrate the unique capabilities and passion of our designers, engineers and technical partners. Quite simply it had to be the ultimate expression of Aston Martin. As you can now see, we have achieved that goal in magnificent style.”

The Press Release, reads that the One-77 has a carbon fiber monocoque, based on ideas seen in the racecars on the DTM race circuit. The cars use a Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve damping, which the company claims is a first for a street car. The dampers are fully adjustable, even while they’re still on the car.

A street car needs serious power to even require such a suspension system. Aston certainly did not short the One-77 in that department. It comes with a 7.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine that produces over 700 bhp. Unfortunately, final power, torque, acceleration, and speed ratings are not yet available.

Final testing still needs to be conducted on the vehicle. Once completed, Aston believes they will announce a top speed of over 200mph, a 0-60mph time of 3.5 seconds.

The nomenclature is a working title, which helps to emphasise just how limited this car’s production will be.  Only 77 examples will be crafted by Aston’s workers. The Telegraph.co.uk has reported that the new super car from Aston Martin has already gauged some serious buyers, with a total of 100 applying to get their hands on the hottest Aston Martin ever produced.

The One-77, which uses a carbon-fiber chassis, will have an all-aluminum body that’s completely hand crafted.  The offical picture is somewhat vague, but the car looks somewhat similar to current Astons, yet slightly more muscular.
Aston Martin says the One-77 will use a 7.0-liter V-12, producing close to 700 hp.  Rumour has it the car will achieve a 0-62 mph time in 4 seconds and a top speed of over 200 mph.

Of course, there’s a price tag attached to this. At £1.2 million, which converts to approximately $1.6 million, it’s a rare price to pay for one of the rarest Aston Martins - especially in this time of financial crisis.
