The
One-77 is a strictly limited edition supercar from Aston Martin.
In total only 77 examples are planned - each individualy tailored
to the buyers tastes.
Chris Porritt, Aston Martin One-77 Programme Manager said of
the vehicle. "We wanted to create something that wows
you as much when you see what's under the skin as the exterior
styling itself. We started by identifying the most technologically
exciting front-engined, rear-wheel drive cars in the world:
those from the DTM race series. We then applied the principles
and technology that feature heavily in their design and translated
it to a road car application."
The Aston Martin One-77 is based on a lightweight carbon
fiber chassis covered by a handcrafted aluminium body. Powering
the One-77 is a hand-built 7.3 litre V12 engine which develops
over 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to the adoption
of a dry-sump oil system the engine is mounted 100mm lower than
in any previous V12-engined Aston Martin road car. Sending the
power to the rear wheels is a 6-speed mid/rear mounted semi-auto
transmission with Auto Shift Manual (ASM) and Select Shift Manual
(SSM).
Employing the classic formula of double wishbones at each corner,
the One-77 features inboard suspension front and rear, with
pushrods employed to transfer vertical suspension movements
to the horizontally mounted spring/damper units. A practice
taken directly from racing car design, the main advantages of
inboard suspension are a reduction in unsprung weight and the
ability to package the suspension components more effectively.
The dampers are fully adjustable and feature advanced Dynamic
Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) technology; a world-first for
a road car application. These special valves are state-of-the-art
even at the highest levels of motorsport, and use high-precision
machined components to enable the shock-absorbing characteristics
of the damper to be changed without having to remove them from
the car.
The Aston Martin One-77 also features an automated rear spoiler,
stability and traction
control and carbon/ceramic brakes.
