2011 Aston Martin One-77




The name is made clear when you learn that only 77 will be produced, but that's where this limited-edition roadgoing race car stops making sense. A carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, a superlight 7.3-liter V-12, and a hand-formed aluminum body put the price tag at almost $2 million. Wow.

Highs

Meanest-looking Aston of all time, motorsports-style weight savings, serious performance claims.

Lows

Only a few are coming to the States, and you're probably not on the short list of buyers; too expensive to race.

What's New

Introduced for 2011.

Behind The Wheel

With more power and less weight than any other Aston, this carbon-fiber show-piece-turned-race-car deserves supercar status but maybe not its nearly $2 million price.
