I agree with you kasihf. I know their cars are beautiful but they all look the same. Lets hope this one will look different.

It has already been done my friend...
Top speed
Bugatti Veyron=253mph
Shelby SSC Ultimate Aero=257mph

I saw a SSC at Barrett-Jackson this year, doesnt look like the veyron, but the magazine in the winshield along with the certificate from the guiness book of world records recognizing it as the worlds fastest car impressed me.

The era of epic supercars is certainly not over at Aston Martin, following the recent release of an official teaser for a new flagship model codenamed the ‘One-77’ that is set to enter production next year.

More details for the One-77 have now emerged, including several new teaser shots and a ‘Direct Customer Sales Contract’ with some of the expected specs of the car. However, Aston Martin is yet to confirm if the latest images are official and some of the proposed specs are contrary to information released earlier.

According to the leaked sales doc, which appeared on 925.nl, the One-77 will feature a 7.3L V12 engine with ‘more’ than 700hp (522kW) and 533lb-ft (750Nm) of torque. The first official teaser said the car would feature a 7.0L V12 engine.

The drivetrain is also said to feature dry-sump lubrication and a rear-mounted six-speed automated manual transmission. Other leaked details include both left and right-hand-drive availability, a carbon-fiber monocoque body structure with hand crafted aluminum panels, active aerodynamics, and a kerb weight around the 1,500kg mark. Expect to see 0-60mph (96km/h) runs of 3.5 seconds and a top speed in excess of 200mph (320km/h).

Fantastic. Is this the replacement for the Vanquish? Is Aston going to enlarge their existing engine or use MB's AMG engine because I don't think anyone else manufacture a 7.3L V12 besides AMG.

The only thing i know is that there's 99,99% of chance for it to become the most beautiful car in the world for me.

Good question, Monster. Afaik, AMG is the only one making 7.3L V12...

Hmmm....need the full lighting of real life photos on the show floor to reveal all. Kinda SLRish, but much better proportioned. Ok breath held.

These renderings are useless. Show us some damn real life photos. One can make any car look sexy as hell using dim lighting. Can't wait to see what Maybach model will transform from the chassi of this car.

Interesting question. That would be a huge way to confirm their collaboration if they did use the AMG 7.3L V12.
