The British brand has put the Aston Martin One-77 through a series of tests to see the exact top speed of the new model. The Aston Martin One-77 managed to get to a top speed of 220.007 mph (354.86 km/h) in dry and windy conditions. However, the company plans to continue testing the Aston Martin One-77 which means they hope to get this top speed to an even higher level.
The Aston Martin One-77 is powered by a 7.3 liter V12 engine that develops 700 hp and can accelerate the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.
As its name says, the Aston Martin One-77 production will be limited to 77 units and the first deliveries will be begin in the middle of 2010.
Aston Martin Press Release:
Aston Martin’s One-77 supercar has moved closer to setting a new all-time record for the British marque in initial high speed testing after surpassing all predictions and comfortably breaking the 200mph mark.
The One-77 is currently undergoing a stringent development process ahead of planned launch in
2010 with high speed testing taking place at a top secret proving ground in southern Europe. In a series of test runs completed last week the One-77 exceeded original expectations and recorded a 220.007mph (354.86kmh) top speed in dry but windy conditions under the guidance of the Aston Martin engineering team. Dynamic testing is now scheduled to continue into the New Year.
Powered by a new Aston Martin 7.3 litre V12 engine, the One-77 is engineered to deliver breathtaking levels of power and performance. The dramatically styled two-door, two-seat sports coupe is based on an innovative new carbon fibre
monocoque body structure and adopts new active aerodynamic technology.
The One-77 is the ultimate expression of what Aston Martin stands for and will combine modern technology and design with craftsmanship and ultimate exclusivity to create the world’s most desirable automotive art form.
As name suggests, production is limited up to a maximum of 77 individually numbered examples, with deliveries expected to commence in mid-2010.
