A ll-new Aston Martin One-77 almost revealed


As supercar sales slow down around the world due to economic issues, Aston Martin went ahead and announced an all-new flagship supercar called the One-77. Though only releasing dark teaser shots of the oddly-named car, simply brightening up the photos digitally reveals a whole lot more.

Information available so far suggests a lightweight aluminium-bodied coupe with a 7.0-litre (or larger) V12 engine, good for around 700 hp. The front-engined rear-wheel-drive platform will also feature adaptive suspension, automanual paddle-shifted gearbox, pop-up rear spoiler and ceramic brakes.

Reportedly priced at more than 1 million British pounds (that’s more than Dhs 7 million to us poor people), the One-77 will go on sale by the end of 2009.
