Aston Martin
One-77

Why it matters

The One-77 was the most exclusive Aston Martin of the Gaydon era, limited to 77 cars, all sold. It was announced as the fastest Aston Martin ever, with a carbon-fibre monocoque, a hand-made aluminium body and a Cosworth-reworked 7.3-litre V12 that was the most powerful naturally aspirated road engine in the world at its launch.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

A part-covered maquette of the One-77 was shown at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, and a mock-up with a rolling chassis and complete powertrain followed at Geneva in March 2009. The finished car appeared in April 2009 at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, where it won the design award for concept cars and prototypes. RM says the price had risen to 1.1 million pounds by the Geneva launch.

Production was completed in 2012. Bonhams says each car took about 2,500 hours of labour against about 200 for a standard Aston Martin, and that assembly began in 2011 at Gaydon; chassis 01 was registered in Switzerland in February 2011.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

The One-77 has a carbon-fibre monocoque under hand-formed aluminium panels, each front wing a single aluminium sheet that took one craftsperson about three weeks. The engine sits behind the front axle and is a dry-sump 7.3-litre V12 (engine number AM77/021 in car 01). Cars are numbered x/77, and in the three cars catalogued here the VIN ends in 177 followed by the car number (17701 for car 01, 17738 for car 38, 17765 for car 65). Carbon-ceramic brakes, 20-inch rear wheels and a rear wing that deploys at speed are standard.
