THE ULTIMATE ASTON MARTIN
The most exclusive Aston Martin of the ‘Gaydon era’, One-77 was limited to 77 unique examples.
Tantalisingly, the first glimpse the world got of the One-77 hypercar was a maquette of the new car at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, three quarters covered by a grey pin-stripe fabric cover with only a glimpse of the front right side coyly peeping out.
The full picture was revealed athte March 2009 Geneva Motor Show , where a metallic blue mockup and rolling chassis with its entire powertrain were on display.
