VIDEO: Aston Martin One-77 hits the Nürburgring

A while back, Dr. Ulrich Bez, CEO of Aston Martin, said that "the One-77 is approaching a production reality and… the next steps are all about details and refinement to complete the composition."

Well, it seems that engineers and test drivers are indeed refining this 750-horsepower beast these days, as a prototype model has been caught on video while frantically lapping the Nürburgring race track.

The mighty 7.3-liter V12 can catapult Aston Martin's finest to 60 mph [96 km/h] in just 3.5 seconds, while the supercar's top speed has exceeded expectations, as Aston Martin's engineers were able to hit 220 mph (355 km/h), considerably more than the initially estimated top speed of 200 mph.

The One-77 will go on sale in 2011 and it will cost £1.25 million (US $1.99 million or €1.43 million).

Aston Martin Drops More Video of its One-77, Confirms Engine Specs

Aston Martin has released a new video (part four of a series, apparently) detailing its One-77 mega-super-hyper car flagship as well as showing it out on the track. Specifications? Sure thing. The 7.3-liter V12 has been officially certified at 750 horsepower and 750 Nm (553.2 lbs-ft) of torque making it -according to the company- the most powerful naturally aspirated road car engine in the world today.

Throughout the video you'll see some beautiful details of the million-dollar (actually £1.25 million) Aston flagship, including the side mirror mounts molded into the door shells and close-ups of the wraparound jewel-like tail light.

Dr. Ulrich Bez, CEO of Aston Martin, says, "The One-77 is approaching a production reality and of course, there is considerable excitement in the project. Now the next steps are all about details and refinement to complete the composition. I know the final car will demonstrate what the Aston Martin team is capable of."

Come 2011, sheiks, rulers, and Daniel Craig should expect to receive their own customized version from the 77 one-offs Aston intends to build. Hopefully at Paris we'll get a chance to see it in a new color.

VIDEO: New Driving Footage of Aston Martin's One-77 Supercar

Here's a new video clip of Britain's most expensive supercar, the £1.25 million (that's about US$1.9 million or €1.4 million) Aston Martin One-77 undergoing extensive testing in advance of the first customer deliveries scheduled for later this year.

Aston Martin's most exclusive vehicle to date, is also the automaker's fastest having already recorded a top speed of 220.007mph or 354.86 km/h during testing in December at a secret proving ground in southern Europe.

Aston Martin believes that its pride and joy can go even faster as the company had then pointed out that the 220mph velocity was achieved in "dry but windy conditions".

The One-77 is powered by a front-mounted 7.3-liter V12 engine pushing out somewhere around 750 horsepower and is expected to hit 0-60mph (96km/h) in 3.5 seconds.

All in all, Aston Martin plans to build a mere 77 numbered units of the One-77 - hence its name.

Aston Martin One-77 Supercar Records 220mph - 355km/h Top Speed During Testing

When it's not 'badging' around with mundane Japanese mini cars like the Toyota iQ, Aston Martin is actually in the business of making exotic supercars like the limited run One-77 which has moved closer to setting a new all-time record for the British marque after breaking the 200mph - 320km/h mark in initial high speed testing at a secret proving ground in southern Europe.

In fact, Aston Martin said that in a series of test runs completed last week, the One-77 exceeded the firm's original expectations by recording a top velocity of 220.007mph (354.86kmh) in "dry but windy conditions", meaning that the Brits are expecting the exclusive supercar to go even faster in better conditions.

The British maker said that it will continue the development of the One-77 in the new year with handling tests.

The two-door, two-seat supercar uses a carbon fibre monocoque chassis with power being provided by a front-mounted, 7.3-liter V12 engine cranking out around 750HP. The V12 sends its power to the rear wheels through a new six-speed robotized gearbox with paddles shifters on the steering wheel.

With a projected weight of around 1,500kg or 3,300 lbs, Aston Martin expects the €1.1+ million One-77 to hit 0-60mph (96km/h) in 3.5 seconds.

As the supercar's name suggests, only 77 individually numbered examples will be built, with first deliveries expected to commence in mid-2010.

Aston Martin One-77 with 7.3-liter V12 Breaks Cover in Geneva

Showcasing its engineering and design expertise, Aston Martin lifted the covers off the One 77 at the Geneva Show today. The full size model previews the production model that will be built in a limited number of 77 units. Believe it or not, Aston Martin says that when it began developing its most exclusive supercar, it took a good look at the cars of the DTM racing series.

"We wanted to create something that wows you as much when you see what's under the skin as the exterior styling itself," said Chris Porritt, One-77 Programme Manager. "We started by identifying the most technologically exciting front-engined, rear-wheel drive cars in the world: those from the DTM race series. We then applied the principles and technology that feature heavily in their design and translated it to a road car application."

The One 77 structural core is a lightweight yet extremely rigid carbon fibre monocoque which was conceived and designed at Aston Martin's Gaydon HQ, and built in partnership with Multimatic (MTC).

Aston Martin's enginners fitted the One 77 with a double wishbone suspension and fully adjustable dampers featuring Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) technology, a world-first for a road car application according to the British firm. These special valves are state-of-the-art even at the highest levels of motorsport,

Underneath its elongated bonnet, the One 77 gets a naturally aspirated 7.3-liter V12 engine derived from the 6.0-litre V12s fitted to the DBS, DB9 and new V12 Vantage models. Aston Martin projects that it will deliver over 700HP offering the car a projected top speed in excess of 200mph (321 km/h), with a 0-60mph (96km/h) time in approximately 3.5 sec.

Aston Martin One-77 Supercar Photos Leaked!

So much for Aston Martins attempts to keep its forthcoming One-77 supercar (partially) under covers; a Dutch website has just unleashed a set of pictures revealing all the juicy design details of the limited edition model. Judging by the black headlights, we gather that these photos depict a prototype version -quite possibly even a clay model. Nevertheless, this is what the One-77 will look like when it hits the roads sometime in 2009. -Continued

While clearly recognizable as a modern Aston Martin, the One-77 is more aggressively styled than its less extravagant stable mates. Unique features include the Xtra large side air vents which sort of bring to mind the ones found on the SLR McLaren and the 'flat-faced' front end with the tear-like air vents under the headlamps.

According to the British firm, the One-77 is based on a sophisticated carbon fibre chassis with a handcrafted aluminium body and it is equipped with a 7.3 litre V12 engine putting out approximately 700HP. Production of the supercar is said to be limited to 77 units -hence the name- each priced at around £1,050,000 (about $1.65 million or €1.3 million) excluding VAT and all the other taxes that go into the purchase.
