Default Aston Martin One-77 goes 220 mph

http://www.finecars.cc/en/editorial/...he=1&tx_ttnews

Gaydon, 7 January, 2010

Aston Martin’s One-77 supercar has moved closer to setting a new all-time record for the British marque in initial high speed testing after surpassing all predictions and breaking the 220mph mark.
The One-77 is currently undergoing a stringent development process ahead of planned launch in 2010 with high speed testing taking place at a top secret proving ground in southern Europe. In a series of test runs completed last week the One-77 exceeded original expectations and recorded a 220.007mph (354.86kmh) top speed in dry but windy conditions under the guidance of the Aston Martin engineering team. Dynamic testing is now scheduled to continue into the New Year.
Powered by a new Aston Martin 7.3 litre V12 engine, the One-77 is engineered to deliver breathtaking levels of power and performance. The dramatically styled two-door, two-seat sports coupe is based on an innovative new carbon fibre monocoque body structure and adopts new active aerodynamic technology.
The One-77 is the ultimate expression of what Aston Martin stands for and will combine modern technology and design with craftsmanship and ultimate exclusivity to create the world’s most desirable automotive art form.
As name suggests, production is limited up to a maximum of 77 individually numbered examples, with deliveries expected to commence in mid-2010.

Every time I read about this car, I like it ~A LOT~ more

I'm sure people will bang on about fucking corvettes doing better numbers, but they miss the point, the One-77 will be fantastic.

Not really. It's not very inconspicuous driving a super exclusive ugly ass (or pretty depending on who you ask) car. Bond wouldn't have much place to hide.

I mean after the DBS and the V8 Vantage, I consider this a step backwards for the company.

...including the Lagonda Concept and the Cygnet.

Even Lamborghini doesn't bother with the top speed pissing concept anymore.

I think any car company could build a million dollar car that goes 220 mph ... even kia ... bugatti veyron is special even at million plus because it is much much faster than 220 mph, at that speed another 30 mph is astronomical ... plus I don't think there is anything wrong with a corvette ... a reasonably priced sporty car, just like nissan z, audi tt, etc. not everyone can affort an ugly million dollar aston martin ... DBS and Vanquish were so much nicer ...
