Aston Martin One-77 Review
The most exclusive product created by the revered British marque, the Aston Martin One-77, has been described by CEO Ulrich Bez as “living art”.
The concept underlying the design as well as the production process itself was that of creating the most extreme Aston Martin thus far, whilst still keeping the trademark DNA of the brand. Visible thorough every surface of the vehicle, the current design language employed by the current range of luxury sports cars has been transplanted into the One-77, but machined into a more extreme shape.
The very first sketches indicated a return to the form, an organic flow of aggressive, yet supple lines that would have made it probably one of the most beautiful cars ever created. Although it did not venture too much off, the final product it does look softer and less dynamic than the first renderings indicated; the initial savage nature of the project has been toned down, perhaps in order to keep a more conservative approach to the design, in line with what is happening at Aston Martin – not a major flaw, but it would have stood out even more.
The front end incorporated the trademark grille, taking up most of the surface area, and is flanked by two vertical air intakes that bite into the headlamps. The lights themselves represent a novel element, as they are different from what the brand produces at the moment and incorporate bi-xenon lamps and LED sidelights. Carbon fiber elements are found just underneath the front bumper, in the form of air splitters. The bonnet has two sculpted air channels, leading up to air outlets that expel hot air from the engine.
The front wings embrace the wide track wheels, continuing their way to the sides of the automobile where a distinctive, wide air expeller incorporating the turning lights extends into the lines of the door. The side skirts are not profiled, as found in other high performance cars, but rather moulded to the lines of the chassis, creating a sense of smoothness like no other. The mirrors themselves are attached to a thin proboscis, designed to split the air. Sitting lower than any Aston made thus far, the window line is distinctive to this model and together with the wide shoulders and the expansive track of the rear axle lends the super car a leaned-back appearance.
A single, uninterrupted line propagates from the headlamps to the rear of the Aston Martin One-77, where it emphasizes the long LED rear lights. Brand new, they represent a new direction for the design of Aston Martin and were given painstaking attention throughout their process of creation, in order to balance the looks of the car. The quadruple exhaust is incorporated into the sharp looking air diffuser, giving the impression, at first glance that it’s non-existent.
Aston Martin One-77 – 5 Point Review
Design
The Aston Martin One-77 is designed as a two door, two seat coupe.
In the interior, a pair of handcrafted, lightweight leather covered seats which feature position memory greet the driver and the passenger. Milled from a single block of aluminium, the center piece of the console houses the climate and audio controls, as well as the navigation screen. Carbon fibre inserts decorate the dashboard, while the thick, leather clad steering wheel stays true to the Aston Martin spirit.
Driving
The drive train features front and rear double wishbone independent suspension, with roll bars and electronically adjustable ride height. A six speed, single clutch automatic gearbox is mounted in the rear, together with a limited-slip differential.
Powering the Aston Martin One-77 is a 7.3 litre V12, sitting just behind the front axle, being mid mounted, for a precise weight distribution and a low center of gravity. The engine powers the rear wheels, delivering up to 750bhp and being capable of an impressive maximum speed of 220 miles per hour. The 0 to 62mph sprint takes just 3.7 seconds, making it the fastest car ever produced by the British marque. As expected, the ride is sublime, as active aerodynamics keeping the car’s balance in tight corners. At high speeds, you’re pinned to the seat – after all, the 750 horsepower engine is one of the most powerful naturally aspirated power plants on the planet!
Reliability
As of now, there is no account of any breakdowns or faulty equipment, but in case something should happen, Aston’s concierge service should take care of the issue and usually, things are kept quiet. However, taking into consideration that the Aston Martin One-77 project has been a high-priority objective for the brand, tolerances in this regard should be close to zero, as extreme performance requires endurance and reliability testing in the harshest conditions imaginable. Should any opportunity arise in finding out more, we will update the review as soon as possible.
Running costs
Fabricated in a limited series of only 77 examples, the Aston Martin One-77 is one of the world’s rarest supercars. The price for a standard car, without any extra options is £1.2 million. The buyer is involved, from start to finish into the build of the car and can specify everything it wants, including the colours, textures, materials used, as well as how much the controls weigh! No other information is known about any potential running cost, including fuel consumption figures, but if you can afford the vehicle, a tank fill will seem insignificant.
Practicality
As the car is designed to be an example of craftsmanship and precision engineering, the boot space has been placed on a second place – or rather on the last place, as there is little to no storage available. The small rear hatch will hold, at best, a handbag and, in order to accommodate larger objects, the passenger seat will have to be sacrificed.

Aston Martin Vantage Roadster
Vantage is raw and instinctive, with a single goal in mind: to stun the senses with its world-renowned design, nimble performance, and meticulous workmanship. The main goal of a sports vehicle is to make the driver feel at ease behind the wheel, and the stunning 2021 Aston Martin Vantage does this while turning attention everywhere it goes.
A new one will cost you around $149,000 (108,000 pounds). Its sensuous form, with a long hood and broad haunches, is classic sports car material, available with a fixed roof or a retractable soft top. What’s beneath that clamshell hood is nearly as lusty: a 500hp twin-turbo V-8 with 503bhp and 505lb-ft of torque, driven exclusively by an eight-speed automatic or a seven-speed manual transmission. 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 195 mph (314 km/h) offering raw athleticism and an exciting performance.
Aston-Martin DBX Bowmore
Before it whisks you away, let’s take a look at the details of this Islay-inspired super-luxury SUV. The DBX Bowmore Edition is a new limited-run vehicle from Q by Aston Martin, the British luxury brand’s customization service. Q gives the elegant SUV modest Bowmore-inspired accents by combining tweed and copper to create a distinctive appearance. A 4.0 liter twin-turbo V-8 with 542 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels will make drivers feel intoxicated with power.
Despite its upright posture, the DBX is never high off the ground thanks to four-corner air springs. It has a nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels, resulting in a 0-60 mph (100 km/h) sprint time of 4.5 seconds and a maximum speed of 291 km/h (180 mph). The expected price tag is to be around $190,000 (138,000 pounds).
Aston-Martin DB11
The DB11 is the most powerful and efficient ‘DB’ production model in Aston Martin’s history, serving as the standard-bearer for a whole new generation of automobiles. The 2021 Aston Martin DB11 straddles the border between sports vehicle and grand tourer. Whether equipped with a fixed roof or a retractable soft top, its long, low, and broad body draw attention. The DB11 is a force to be reckoned with, both in terms of performance and presence.
Thanks to cutting-edge aerodynamic design and superb handling that keeps it low, poised, and glued to the road, it smashes through streets with a raw energy that you’re always in charge of. This rear-drive Aston Martin comes with a massive 630-hp twin-turbo V-12, but it’s only available in coupe form and comes at a substantial premium. The improvement allows the vehicle to reach a new peak speed of 192 mph (308 km/h). The 2021 Aston Martin DB11 begins at $208,000 and goes up from there (151,000 pounds).
Aston Martin DB11 AMR Special
The DB11 is the most powerful and efficient ‘DB’ production model in Aston Martin’s history, serving as the standard-bearer for a whole new generation of vehicles. The 2021 Aston Martin DB11 AMR is a sportier variant of the DB11 coupe, with a starting Manufacturer’s suggested retail price or MSRP of $241,000 for the base model (175,000 pounds). It is driven by a 5.2L twin turbocharged V8 engine with 630 horsepower, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (100 km/h) in 3.5 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 208 mph (335 km/h).
The inside is sportier while remaining as comfy as possible, and there are many customization choices to fit your preferences. The DB11 has few competitors on the road. It also boasts exotic aesthetics without being overdone, as well as a set of engines that never fail to make you grin. The DB11 is also available as a convertible if you like your sports cars with plenty of headroom. It’s the cleanest, most fuel-efficient DB ever thanks to intelligent cylinder bank activation.
Aston Martin Vanquish
The second-generation Vanquish’s distinctive characteristics elevated Aston Martin’s design ethos to a new level. The external design is inspired by the One-77 supercar, with each carbon-fiber body piece taking on a tight, aggressive appearance. Every exterior panel on Vanquish is built of aeronautical materials, which are necessary for sculpting the pristine surfaces and preserving the accuracy required to produce such a stunning design.
The interior of the Vanquish is the epitome of Aston Martin, striking the right mix between intimacy and comfort. It has all-new components, materials, and interior settings that are one-of-a-kind. For the 2015 model year, Aston Martin updated their Vanquish sports car, pairing its formidable 568-horsepower 6.0-litre V12 with a then-new ZF eight-speed automated gearbox. How fast can it go? It will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds and can go up to 201 mph (324 km/h). The cost of the most recent model is $298,000. (216,500 pounds).
Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
If you shut your eyes and picture the ultimate exotic luxury car, the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is likely to come to your mind. This supercar embodies all that the brand stands for in terms of performance, craftsmanship, and comfort. It also looks the part. The 2021 Aston Martin DBS is so fast, with a screaming 715-hp 5.2 liter V-12, that onlookers will hardly have time to admire its beautifully sculpted sheet metal before it flies into the distance.
Although Aston Martin claims a maximum speed of 211 mph (340 km/h), the DBS is more enjoyable at somewhat higher speeds. According to Aston, the important number is the 663lb-ft of torque available between 1,800 and 5,000 rpm, not just the 715bhp. It’s a tense, alert, and athletic DB11 that’s quicker and more enjoyable to drive. The DBS will cost you around $317,000 (220,000 pounds) and it has the power to steal your breath away.
Aston Martin Rapide E
In the history of Aston Martin models, this represents a watershed moment. The Rapide E is Aston Martin’s first all-electric vehicle. The Aston Martin Rapide E combines internal combustion with electricity to provide a fresh and exciting application of power in an unfamiliar packaging that yet manages to offer the usual class and perfection that only an Aston Martin can offer. The V12 has been replaced with an 800-volt battery design that generates the equivalent of 602bhp and has a 65khw capacity; this is also known as a lot. That output is 15bhp more than the Rapide AMR, which was launched earlier this year.
The Rapide-E boasts 701 lb/ft of torque, which, when coupled with the power output, allows it to accelerate from a stop to 60 mph (100 km/h) in only four seconds. Two electric motors will be installed onboard, each driving one rear wheel through a specially built gearbox. Even though just 155 examples of the Rapide-E will be produced, it marks a significant step forward for the British brand. It’s expected to cost around $330,000 (239,000 pounds).
Aston Martin V12 Speedster
The Aston Martin V12 Speedster, designed by bespoke customization service ‘Q by Aston Martin,’ is a genuinely visceral driver’s vehicle that takes influence from both the brand’s rich racing heritage and aeronautical design. Only 88 copies of this minimalist limited edition will be made, with delivery scheduled for 2021. The V12 Speedster is powered by Aston Martin’s 5.2-liter Twin-Turbo V12 engine, which produces 700hp and 753Nm of torque.
The all-aluminum, quad-cam 48-valve engine is placed in the front and is connected to a ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox with a limited-slip differential driving the rear wheels. The V12 Speedster can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.5 seconds on its route to a maximum speed of 186 mph (300 km/h). The price of $815,000 (591,000 pounds) may temper excitement, but it is well worth it.
Aston Martin Valkyrie
A one-of-a-kind vehicle with a one-of-a-kind name. One that conjures up images of strength and dignity, as well as being chosen by the Gods. The Valkyrie is the company’s first HyperCar, and it leaves nothing to chance. This is the kind of vehicle that would look perfectly at home on a futuristic racetrack. The hybrid engine on the Valkyrie generates a whopping 1160 horsepower.
The price begins at $3 million (2.2 million pounds), and there are only 150 of them available. It’s all made of carbon fiber. Valkyrie’s construction has no steel components, reducing the burden while increasing the power-to-weight ratio. All that power in such a little package. The 6.5-liter V12 engine built with Cosworth provides otherworldly performance. The V12 is torque-enhanced during take-off and utilizes the electric motor for a power increase, which sets it apart from conventional hybrid systems.
Aston Martin Valhalla
With the Valhalla translated to production reality as an exceptional, fully driver-focused mid-engine hybrid supercar, Aston Martin’s transformative path takes a significant step ahead. Exceptional driver engagement and driving pleasure are achieved by combining strong performance with precise dynamics.
The mid-mounted 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 will be capable of revving to 7200 rpm and producing 740 horsepower, according to reports. According to company sources, engines will be hand-built in the United Kingdom using AMG-supplied components. The manufacturer claims a 2.5-second zero-to-62-mph (100km/h) time and a maximum speed of 217 mph (350km/h). The unit comes at a bargain price of $800,000 (139,000 pounds).
