Aston Martin Shows Off Finished One-77 at Concorso D'Eleganza

Aston Martin whisked the covers off the finally-final concept version of its limited run One-77 V12 supercar at this weekend's Concorso d'Eleganza at Villa d'Este. And while a trip to sunny Italy would have been more than welcome for anyone here at Carscoop, unfortunately we're secluded in our office on top of our laptops. But anyway, until Aston Martin decides to share the complete One-77 with the rest of the world, you can enjoy a full set of live photos that include images of the interior over at 'Omniauto' by clicking the link below.

Aston Martin to Show Finished One-77 with Interior and Running V12 at Villa d'Este

The ongoing saga of the presentation of Aston Martin's limited production One-77 will continue at this weekend' famous annual classic car show, Concorso d'Eleganza at Villa d'Este, with the world debut of the complete concept version. We remind you that Aston has been revealing prototype (...) models of the One 77 Concept for quite a while now, that latest being at the Geneva Motor show in March. This time, the British firm claims that the final concept version on show at Lake Como will include the interior which we have yet to see and a full running powertrain.

"The One-77 demonstrates the unique capabilities of our company – it encompasses engineering excellence with a great passion from our engineers, designers and technical partners. This is a major step in One-77's engineering program, showing the first complete car, and will demonstrate new benchmarks in many different fields of automotive design," said Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr Ulrich Bez.

Overall, Aston Martin plans to build a maximum of 77 units of the limited edition supercar - hence the name, each one priced at around 1.1 million pounds or with the current exchange rates, US$1.45 million or €1.1 million. The One-77 is powered by a normally aspirated 7.3-liter V12 engine derived from the 6.0-litre V12s fitted to the DBS, DB9 and new V12 Vantage models, delivering a tad over 700HP to the rear wheels through the firm's sequential-manual gearbox.

The British automaker claims that the supercar sprint from zero to 60mph (96km/h) in around 3.5 seconds and go on to over 200mph (321 km/h).

Lagonda Concept Crossover Live Photos and Video from Geneva

If there's one thing most will agree upon is that Aston Martin's conceptual attempt to revive the Lagonda brand with the blandly named Concept was one of the top attention-grabbers at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. However, this was mainly due to the Concept's controversial (to say the least...) styling and because no one actually understood what the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class-based vehicle represents - Is it a sedan? Is it a crossover? Is it a mix-mash of ideas? If you're imaginative enough, maybe you can answer that question by following the jump to watch the video from the unveiling as well as live photos from Aston Martin's stand.

Aston Martin One-77 with 7.3-liter V12 Breaks Cover in Geneva

Showcasing its engineering and design expertise, Aston Martin lifted the covers off the One 77 at the Geneva Show today. The full size model previews the production model that will be built in a limited number of 77 units. Believe it or not, Aston Martin says that when it began developing its most exclusive supercar, it took a good look at the cars of the DTM racing series.

"We wanted to create something that wows you as much when you see what's under the skin as the exterior styling itself," said Chris Porritt, One-77 Programme Manager. "We started by identifying the most technologically exciting front-engined, rear-wheel drive cars in the world: those from the DTM race series. We then applied the principles and technology that feature heavily in their design and translated it to a road car application."

The One 77 structural core is a lightweight yet extremely rigid carbon fibre monocoque which was conceived and designed at Aston Martin's Gaydon HQ, and built in partnership with Multimatic (MTC).

Aston Martin's enginners fitted the One 77 with a double wishbone suspension and fully adjustable dampers featuring Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) technology, a world-first for a road car application according to the British firm. These special valves are state-of-the-art even at the highest levels of motorsport,

Underneath its elongated bonnet, the One 77 gets a naturally aspirated 7.3-liter V12 engine derived from the 6.0-litre V12s fitted to the DBS, DB9 and new V12 Vantage models. Aston Martin projects that it will deliver over 700HP offering the car a projected top speed in excess of 200mph (321 km/h), with a 0-60mph (96km/h) time in approximately 3.5 sec.
