Aston Martin will unveil the One-77 anytime now at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show that will showcases Aston Martin engineering and design expertise.
The Aston Martin One-77’s structural core is a lightweight and immensely rigid carbon fiber monocoque and it was built in partnership with Multimatic (MTC).
The car features inboard suspension front and rear, with pushrods employed to transfer vertical suspension movements to the horizontally mounted spring/damper units. The main advantages of inboard suspension are a reduction in unsprung weight and the ability to package the suspension components more effectively.
The One-77’s dampers are fully adjustable and feature advanced Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve (DSSV) technology.
The Aston Martin One-77 is powered by a 7.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine that produces more than 700 hp and thanks to the dry-sump oil system the engine is mounted 100 mm lower than any previous Aston Martin V12 engine car and 257 mm aft relative to the front wheel center line.
The engine is mated to a new robotised sequential manual six-speed gearbox which is controlled via column-mounted paddles behind the steering wheel.
The 1,500 kg One-77 accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds with the top speed of 200 mph wearing Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires measuring at 255/35 ZR20 at the front and 335/30 ZR20 at the rear.
