A new video featuring the Aston Martin One-77, and its design process, has hit the web. The roughly five-minute long video shows interviews with several AM employees, talking about the car's special qualities and uniqueness.
When talking about research into the engine, one executive discusses how engineers are capable of pushing the car's 7.3-liter V12 to its limits, and translating that into better performance. "It is going to be like no other driving experience," says Ian Minards, AM Director of Product Development. He also talks about how the car is going to be louder, so that the customer feels more emotionally attached to the vehicle.
Engineers and execs also talk about the use of aluminum in the engine, how it fits into the vehicle close to the cabin, and the overall sculpting process used to build the One-77. In the end, CEO Dr Ulrcih Bez is heard saying that he wanted to sell a car that "makes you feel good."
He says the car is, "honest," "authentic," and "it does not promise what it can't deliver."
The Aston Martin One-77 uses a 700hp engine that should get the car from 0-100km/h in around 3.5 seconds. Top speed could be in the arena of 200 mph.

and btw, even 77 units of this will be made but what makes it deserve the price tag which costs twice as much as the Veyron? even more than double?
By the way, you guys should read how this car is manufactured, then it might shed a little light as to why it is so expensive. For example look at that rear end; its just one solid piece of aluminium that has to be formed by hand. Such a process is expensive and very time consuming. And lets not forget that the Veyron cost 5 million dollars to make. So if VW decided to sell the Veyron at a profit...
The Veyron was created as a technical exercise. This Aston is made by passionate car lovers. I don't think further justification is needed.
