Although it was previously announced that the new hypercar outputs 700 hp, the company has released today different Aston Martin One-77 specs. The new Aston Martin One-77 specs say the 7.3 liter V12 engine actually develops 750bhp and 750Nm of torque. The previous performance figures say its top speed is 220.007 mph (354.86 km/h) while the 0 to 60 mph acceleration is 3.5 seconds. In the light of the new Aston Martin One-77 specs, these figures may change in the "fun" way. However, the previously announced top speed was actually measured, and not calculated. This means that they just got the hp figures wrong the first time.
The newly released Aston Martin One-77 specs put the car's engine on the " the most powerful
naturally aspirated road car engine in the world today" position.
Apart from the new Aston Martin One-77 specs, the company also announced today that the hypercar just went into production. The first deliveries will begin in early 2011.
Aston Martin Press Release:
Aston Martin’s ultimate expression of design, engineering and craftsmanship; the One-77 is being readied for production. The 7.3 liter V12 engine, as part of the development process, has been certified at 750bhp and 750Nm of torque, positioning it as the most powerful naturally aspirated road car engine in the world today.
In the fourth part of the One-77 film series which is released today, Dr. Ulrich Bez, CEO of Aston Martin and Marek Reichman, Director of Design discuss the fundamental elements of what makes the One-77 so unique. The film shows the first complete engineering car in motion on the test track.
The One-77, a sports car of unparalleled beauty with subtle aggression and performance to eclipse any previous Aston Martin road car will be built at the marque’s global headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire. Over the past nine months, the One-77 has been undergoing Aston Martin’s rigorous engineering test programme. The car, despite its exclusive volume of only 77 is being subjected to the same engineering development process as the current range of acclaimed sports cars. This includes extreme hot and cold testing plus sign-off at the Nürburgring Nordschleife; the world’s toughest and most unforgiving test track.
In April of this year the One-77 made its on-road debut as part of the Tourist Trophy where it led a parade of supercars taking the Trophy from London’s Pall Mall to the Silverstone circuit where it performed some hot laps.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, Chief Executive of Aston Martin said: “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.”
