Find of the Day: Aston Martin One-77 up for Sale in Dubai

If there’s one place in the world you’re sure to find the rarest and most exotic supercars up for grabs, it is Dubai, the jewel of the United Arab Emirates. And it is here that we find one of the most talked about hypercars, the Aston Martin One-77, being offered up for sale by luxury car dealer Alain Class Motors.

The specific One-77 is finished in a pearlescent white exterior and comes with contrasting red leather interior. As is common in these cases, the supercar’s price is not disclosed publicly, so if you’re interested, you’ll have to give them a call.

As its name implies, production of Aston Martin’s crown jewel is limited to just 77 examples worldwide. The most potent and exclusive model from Gaydon is powered by a 7.3-liter V12 lump certified at 750bhp and 750Nm (553.2 lb-ft) of torque, positioning it as the most powerful naturally aspirated road car engine in the world today.

Fitted with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires (255/35 ZR20 front, 335/30 ZR20 rear) developed specifically for the One-77, all those ponies are transferred to the road through the rear wheels via a new six-speed automated gearbox with column-mounted paddles. Aston Martin says the One-77 is capable of completing the 0-60mph (96 km/h) sprint in approximately 3.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of around 220mph (355 km/h).

Anderson Germany’s Evil Looking Aston Martin DBS

It’s nearly universally agreed that the Aston Martin DBS has one of the most elegant designs in the supercar segment, but that doesn’t mean there’s no room for improvement - especially when it’s tastefully done. Anderson Germany’s new package for the DBS falls into that category with the tuner playing around with the black and red color theme inside and out.

The DBS’s exterior is dressed in a matte black foil wrap and matching color alloy wheels in a five-spoke design. The red-colored brake calipers and Aston Martin logos offer a sharp contrast against the body.

More time was spent in the interior with Anderson Germany covering the cabin in a combination of black leather with a quilted theme and contrasting red seams and alcantara, plus carbon fiber trim.

The German tuner did not say if it made any performance modifications to the engine and chassis.

New Aston Martin Virage gets its Video Debut

Aston Martin released the first official video of its new model series, the Virage. Available as a coupe or convertible, the latter called Volante, this new GT model fills the gap between the DB9 and the more exclusive DBS. Even though it's largely an upgraded DB9 (both esthetically and technically), the 497HP Virage is still impressive, especially when seen in action, blasting through winding mountain roads as it does in the video. Oh, and this time the music is right so you don't have to turn off the sound. Enjoy the clip after the break.

Aston Martin DBX: Two Poles Envision Aston’s Future

In terms of coolness, Aston Martin’s are ice cold, baby. You have proper classics like the DB5 and the DB4GT Zagato and modern classics like the Vanquish and DBS. The less said about the Cygnet the better. So now there’s a new kid on the block, the Virage, for those who want something a little faster than the DB9 but not quite as fast as the DBS.

So that’s that, then? Well, no quite. You see, it’s getting to the stage where you need a trainspotters guide to tell one Aston model from another. They’re great cars, though without a tape measure and an eye for subtle differences in head- and taillights and body vents, they’re very similar looking. Too similar, one might say.

Enter two Polish industrial design students, Norbert Adamowicz and Łukasz Kadula, whose take on Aston Martin is something completely different yet strikingly traditional. The DBX is a sharp edged, mid-engined two seater targeted towards younger customers. The two 21yo students say it extends the design language introduced on the awesome limited edition One-77.
