2008 was the year that saw the debut of Aston Martin’s very first supercar, the One-77. It had a long hood, sharp lines, and a low-slung profile, and it was built on a lightweight carbon fiber monocoque chassis. The design was sleek and aerodynamic.

A monstrous 7.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine is hiding under the hood, and it is capable of producing 750 horsepower.

It was a high-end vehicle that had a limited production run of only 77 units and cost around $1.87M each.

The price tag was displayed on the vehicle. A copy of the book can be found in Samuel Eto’o’s possession.

A concept for the best possible Aston Martin that can be driven on the road. Or at the very least, 2009 was the year when the One-77 was initially introduced to the public.

When Dr. Ulrich Bez, who was in charge of Aston Martin at the time, made the announcement that the company was going to produce a limited-edition supercar, the automotive industry was taken aback.

This was Aston taking a stand against other luxury automobile manufacturers such as Bugatti and Pagani and saying, “we’ll have a slice of your best-of-the-best action, thanks very much chaps.”

Even while the One-77 had all of the typical Aston hallmarks (such as a widemouth grille, sweptback headlamps, an extended bonnet, and a cab-back posture with a pert tail), it was not merely some sort of powered-up, flared-out Vanquish spin-off coated in papier-mache.

The chassis of the vehicle was based on a race-specific carbon-fiber monocoque, and it featured superb carbon subframes that cradled the front-mid-mounted engine and in-board suspension components.

After that, brand-new aluminum panels were installed to cover up this completely uncompromising layout.

For this limited production of just 77 cars, bespoke lighting, wheels, doors, and glass were all machined using special molds and tools.

A hefty £200,000 was required as a deposit in order to secure a build slot with Aston Martin, providing that you were extremely close to the top of the company’s favored client list. That resulted in a beautiful, round sum of 1M pounds sterling being due upon delivery.
