The Brits Do It Again!

It looks like they have created another V-12 Monster in the form of an Aston-Martin One-77! And the good part is, for a measley 1.2 million pounds, you can have one!! BTW, how much is that in American money? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYik8FfpiMU&feature=related

 

About 1.8 million dollars . . . I fear I'm gonna have to pass on it - I'm a bit short this week. :-D

 

7.2 litres:eek and 700BHP still pretty heavy at 1.5 tons as are all Aston's,not as pretty as other Aston's either IMO,it resembles an angry monster rather than a sleekly carved lady which depending on what your into may be preferred.

I'm not a big fan of Astons because of the performance,I'm into cutting edge and pushing the envelope of design and performance and there are lots of cars that have 700bhp and weigh 1.5 tons,do you want to pay 1.2million for a car that in supercar terms has mediocre performance?)0-60 in 3.5 seconds isn't fast anymore and every supercar will do 220mph these days.

You have to wonder,the Aston Martin design team sat down and came up with the best car they could, a car without limits,it has a 7.2 litre engine so I imagine you won't get far on a full tank ,only has 700BHP and weighs 1.5 tons and cost 1.2 million bucks!

So what are you paying for,the Aston Martin badge?Exclusivity? What kind of new exciting technology and cutting edge design did you get for your money?Not much by the looks of it.

Pass...
