Aston Martin One-77
http://www.motorauthority.com/news/c...review-leaked/
The era of epic supercars is certainly not over at Aston Martin, with the release today of an official teaser for a new flagship model that’s set to enter production in an extremely exclusive run of just 77 cars. The only details released thus far are that it will feature a sophisticated carbon-fiber chassis with a handcrafted aluminum body and a 7.0L V12 powerplant.
The new teaser shows a distinctly Aston Martin design, but with an added aggressiveness that even the company’s racing models lack. Side strakes and character lines on the hood plus an indentation above the rear fenders combine to give it a decidedly fast look, even while standing still.
‘One-77’ is only the working title for the car. Last year the ‘DBX’ name was thrown up by the carmaker’s CEO Ulrich Bez, but until now there was very little information available in regards to a new Aston Martin supercar.
The new One-77, meanwhile, is expected to be based around a heavily modified version of the current vertical horizontal (VH) platform. In keeping with the ‘7’ theme of the car, power is rumored to be up around the 700hp (522kW) mark, and this should ensure the One-77 becomes the fastest production Aston in history. Expect to see 0-60mph (96km/h) runs of 3.5 seconds and a top speed in excess of 200mph (320km/h).
Looks pretty interesting...

Pure bliss.....I am in love. 
I wouldn't care if the car went 20 mph, that design is so sexy.... the HP and the 200mph speed limit is just the fringe benifits of owning such a drop dead gorgeous car.
Aston Martin has to be one of my all time favorites for there bold and sexy designed automobiles. There designers must have halos over there head!
