The One-77 is the most exclusive and sought-after car to come from Aston Martin ever.  Only 77 of these will be manufactured, and unfortunately for us, all 77 have been reserved.  The covers were still on the car at the Paris Auto Show, but images have leaked online and we just had to show you guys!

Power for the Aston Martin One-77 comes from a 700-hp 7.3L V12 engine mated to a 6-speed ASM/SSM Automated Manual Transmission. Together that allows for a 0 to 60 mph run in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of more than 200 mph.  Each One-77 costs about $2 million.

For a car that’s worth only $230,000 brand new, why would anyone want to pay $120,000 more for it after it plunged into a lake in northern Italy?  We’ll never know, but one “lucky” fan bought the Aston Martin DBS that was used in Quantum of Solace for $350,000 after it’s been hit with flood damage and a given a genuine “top-down” treatment (see pic above).

There were six of these used in this year’s Bond movie, and we’re pretty sure none of them made it back to Aston Martin in one piece.

Thanks eGMCarTech!

It’s definitely a whole new world for Lamborghini.  They released two different teasers in the past week or so and now they’ve come out with it.  Automotive News Europe’s learned that the company will be unveiling a four-door coupe to rival Porsche’s Panamera and Aston Martin’s Rapide.

Sources said that the third model in the Lamborghini lineup will be a front-engine sedan built on a four-wheel drive architecture. Power could come from a smaller Audi-supplied direct-injection, twin-turbocharged engine than Lamborghini’s already smallest 5.0L V10.

It’s being named “Urus,” a Latin word with Germanic origins used to describe a very large type of cattle prevalent in Europe until their extinction in 1627.  That’s pretty interesting considering Lamborghini’s German-owned now.

No word on when we’ll see the big cow hit the production line, but they’ll be producing 3,000 annually, which is less than the 20,000 Panameras we’ll be seeing.  Aston Martin’s hoping to produce 3,000 Rapides annually as well.

eGMCarTech’s reporting on a new audio system that Aston Martin and Bang & Olufsen introduced today. The BeoSound DBS audio system is exclusively for Aston Martin and it consists of 13 individual speakers.  Also, the system’s kitted with B&O’s Digital Signal Processing system, ICEpower technology, Acoustic Lens Technology (ALT) motorized tweeter units that are mounted on each side of the dash, allowing 180 degree horizontal dispersion of high frequencies.

The system also packs three additional tweeters and three woofers, plus a 200mm sub under the rear seats.  With the speeds that you’ll be reaching in the DBS, the BeoSound audio system will give you (and the people your flying past) ultimate listening clarity.

Head to eGMCarTech for the full press release!

The Truth About Cars recently did a review on this year’s Aston Martin Vantage Roadster and we think you guys should check it out.  It’s revamped on the outside to be just as sexy, if not sexier than the DB9.

Aston Martin engineers admitted to a British newspaper that they designed the Vantage by morphing Adriana Lima and a clone of Leonardo Da Vinci: a blend of emotionally irresistible and mathematically precise curves and planes.

Aston Martin has teamed up with Jaeger-LeCoultre to create something special.  A wrist watch that can start your car?  This is a piece that 007 had years ago.  We were kept in the dark, but not anymore! No special effects here, this is real.  The AMVOX2 DBS Transponder is a sleek watch and it also has a transponder built in that will start your DBS.
