Aston Martin has released the first image of the limited edition One-77, Aston's newest flagship.
At this point there aren't a lot of details about the new Aston Martin other than the fact that it is going to be powered by a 7.0-liter V12 and that the car should be able to reach 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed around 200 mph. The car also features a carbon fiber chassis with a hand crafted aluminum body.
Only 77 units are going to be produced of the new coupe. The £1 Million One-77 is going to be unveiled this fall with sales starting sometime after that.
This is the first new Aston Martin to be developed after Ford sold the automaker to a group of investors.
Stay turned for more details soon.

Looks nice, but not quite something you'll be willing to race in.

like lambos astons were never really about winning races as they were about being a british super car. The interior and styling as well as ease of driving are more important in a aston then say how fast it can go. GT cars arent known for their cornering prowess.

i agree on the 2nd comment, it has nothing about performance or agility. total opposite of a nissan gtr.

$1 mill doesn't seem that bad for something with a very limited production, a V12, carbon fiber chassis, and hand crafted aluminium skin. (NOT that can could even afford a hundredth of that amount). Just comparing to other one million dollar super cars.
The picture doesn't thrill me. Maybe they will have a demo unit one day for the world to see?

@mf:
I was actually thinking the same thing. It has a side profile that is very similar to the newer Vette's

mf...even before seeing your comment I immediately thought the same thing. from this view i totally looks like a concept corvette. the very back end looks aston martin but everything else doesn't live up to my expectation of them being sex on wheels.

@Lowest iq
who ever is posting under the real one's name seriously has no life.
Anyway, the Aston's body is too tall for it to really be mistaken for a Corvette.
Sure, the side (excluding the back) resembles one, but you would have to be half blind to really get it mixed up.

Beyond the looks, I wonder a little more about the engine. The new owners are really changing things up.
