One of most quintessential Aston Martin models ever built, the 2011 Aston Martin One-77 (17731)! This particular one-77 is finished in an imposing ‘Morning Frost White’ paint finish over a lush red leather interior with white piping and black stitching and is 1 of just 78 (plus several development cars) built for the entire world. This particular example is distinguished via its white-painted front grille, and is believed to reside in Paris, France. The first viewing of the One-77 model took place during the Paris Motor Show in 2008, followed by a full reveal at the Paris Motor Show a year after in 2009. The design work for this special model was completed by British industrial designer, and current Chief Creative Officer and studio head at Aston Martin, Marek Reichman, and the result is one that simply stands out from every other Aston Martin model ever made. Deliveries for the One-77 officially began in 2011, and each example is powered by a 750hp 7.3 L AM Cosworth V12 engine. When the car was first announced, Aston Martin claimed that it was equipped with the most powerful production naturally aspirated engine in the entire world. Although 77 examples were built, one of the developmental cars (10711) was registered for use under a NHTSA Show and Display registration in the United States, making the official number of cars on the road to be 78. The One-77 was built using a handcrafted aluminum body, and a full carbon fiber monocoque chassis that was manufactured by Multimatic. The standard transmission used for the One-77 is a 6-speed automated manual transmission that was developed by Italian manufacturer of gearboxes, drivelines, and mechatronics components, Graziano Trasmissioni. The One-77 is an award-winning model, receiving accolades such as the Concorso d’Eleganza Design Award for Concept Cars and Prototypes and many others.
