Aston Martin One-77

_Overview

This is an Aston Martin One-77. It is a limited production 2-door sports car by British car manufacturer Aston Martin Lagonda Limited. It was teased in the 2008 Paris Motor Show. It was completely unveiled at the 2009 Geneva International Motor Show. It was designed by Marek Reichman. Deliveries began in early 2011. The production number was limited to 77 and hence the name One-77. The price tag on one of these was $1.87 million. In 2012 one of these in Hong Kong was involved in a car crash, thus reducing the number to 76.

_Exterior

The hood has air-vents made up of titanium. The hood itself is a front opening hood. This is a hatchback which means it does not have a trunk but a hatch. It has a rear wing which opens up or rises when it hits a particular speed to create downforce for the car to stay on the ground. The rear end of the car features a light bar which runs across the trunk and this feature was not common when it came out unlike today where almost every cars have a light bar running across the trunk. The doors in this car are actually swan door which opens a little upward to give it a look of a bird about to fly. This does not have regular door handles, instead it has flushed door handles to give it a clean look. 

_Interior

The interior is this amazing leather with no storage space as such, only two seats, there's no glove box also as that space is taken up by the massive V12. Aston Martin makes you feel like this is a different car completely with the help of the materials and trims used in this car. The key is a glass key which has no hoop on it for keychain but you don't need a keychain for the keys for this car. The key is inserted in a little  space to start the car. It does not has a gear lever, instead it's just button and paddle shifts. The sat-nav is this screen which gets flushed inside the dashboard to give the interior an elegant look. The switches and buttons in this car is made of glass to make you feel that it is a $1.8million car.
