So the guy upstairs is likely not in immediate need of four wheeled transport. Some people in this world envy that and I am sure he is quite content with his situation. Perhaps something that could even make the almighty drool with envy, however, is the new Aston Martin One-77. It is the most beautiful, awe striking, intimidating vehicle I have ever seen. The design is a magnificent blend of form and function. From its air intakes integrated into the bumper and frame to its long, low, and aggressive stance. This thing is almost as beautiful as the stars above (but I would never take that away from him).
Coming in at 1.25 million USD, the hand built One-77 is certainly exclusive enough for even the finest of customers as it is the most expensive new car ever save for the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport which came in at 2.2 million. Still, I would take the Aston Martin over the Veyron any day as it is simply that awe inspiring.
Beneath the hood (which happens to be gold plated underneath for heat control) rests a 7.3 liter V12 that is said to put out over 750 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque. This should be more than enough to hit 60 mph in under 3 seconds. The power to roast any Lamborghini or Ferrari currently in production today? Check! The power to bend space and time? Maybe.
Of course, this being an Aston Martin, the fit and finish is impeccable inside and out as attention to detail is clear. The interior is two tone done right and has been set up to truly make the driver feel as if they are in a cockpit rather than a car. A luxurious cockpit which I am sure promises to offer all the amenities you would expect in a fine automobile.
Yes I do imagine the big guy would be quite pleased driving this car. While it may not have the power to create lightning, it certainly can bring the thunder. (Kashiga Kashiga)
If you would like to hear a bit of that thunder just play the video below and if you listen closely you may just hear the choir of angels.
