Designed by Marek Reichman, the Aston Martin One-77 was the fastest and most powerful model ever produced by the company, boasting a top speed of 220 mph and a price tag of £1,150,000. Despite the steep cost, all 77 units sold quickly after a £200,000 deposit was required, with production wrapping up in 2012.
The One-77 features classic Gran Turismo proportions with a long bonnet and short tail, blending aggressive performance with graceful aesthetics. This two-seater coupé is built on an incredibly rigid carbon fiber monocoque chassis, covered in handcrafted aluminum bodywork.
Power comes from a 7.3-liter, 48-valve V12 engine, extensively reworked by Cosworth to produce 760 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful naturally aspirated road engine of its time. The engine, mounted behind the front axle for optimal weight distribution, is paired with a six-speed transaxle and a carbon fiber prop shaft.
The interior offers a blend of luxury and technology, with leather seats, automatic climate control, and optional parking cameras. Aston Martin claimed a top speed of 220.007 mph, a nod to its James Bond heritage, with a 0-100 mph time of around 6.9 seconds, competing with rivals like the Ferrari Enzo and Koenigsegg CCX.
The Aston Martin One-77 you see here is the first of only 77 examples made. It boasts a Bronze Pearl exterior with Kestrel Tan leather interior and red contrast stitching, along with optional features such as a reverse camera, 20-inch wheels with 10 polished spokes, gold brake calipers, and rose gold switches, a bespoke option costing £40,000.
Accompanied by photocopies of the original order form, purchase invoice, and certificate of conformity, this model was first registered on February 11, 2011, in Switzerland. It has had just one owner, been stored indoors as part of a major collection, and has only 528 kilometers on the odometer.
This 2011 Aston Martin One-77 will cross the auction block at Bonhams Cars’ The Zoute Sale next month and is expected to sell for $1.3 million USD.
