The front-engine, rear-wheel-drive supercar features a very special version of Aston Martin's 6.0L V12 engine that's been tuned by the legendary motor mavens at Cosworth.

Enlarged to a full 7.3 liters of displacement, the One-77's V12 is a full 25% lighter than the engine on which it's based while producing in excess of 700 bhp. The One-77 also features a monocoque tub comprised entirely of carbon fiber, which helps keep its curb weight around 3,300 lbs.

A unique inboard suspension system, six-speed sequential manual gearbox and carbon ceramic brakes at all four corners are just a few of the top shelf standard features that One-77 customers will be getting. Add it all up and Aston Martin expects a 0-60mph time of just 3.5 seconds and top speed over 200 mph.

The One-77 will be the most powerful and fastest Aston Martin ever made and represent the brand's zenith. It'll be tough to top this one, that's for sure. Stay tuned for live pics of the Aston Martin One-77 later today from the floor of the Geneva Motor Show.

WOWWWW, its beautiful and extreme and futuristic and everything an exotic can be!

Amazing methinks, rather light for a hypercar, not in Zonda territory, but then again it is very different in character and probably more in the reventon/veyron market

I've said this once, I'll say it again. Without Ian Callum, Aston Martin will never look as beautiful again.

Some hi-res pictures of the real car. I'm a little torn on the exterior. It's nice, but not crazy exotic like the Enzo or Zonda, or beautiful like an Alfa 8C/Vantage/Z8. Reminds of a pumped up Chrysler Firepower concept.

That interior rocks though. Reminds me of the original Vision SLR concept's interior, an exotic, space-age look.

Those wheels would also probably the first and only thing I'd change if I could afford one.

How did it win the design award at Villa d'Este?

I know there wasn't any good looking new cars out, but this one? Ugh.

Surely the Karma S Cabrio and the Zagato Perana were better looking?
