Aston Martin has released first pictures of the stunning new Aston Martin One-77, initially announced in August 2008.

Announced through a 'teaser' advertisement to emphasise its unique nature, Aston Martin 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.

Powered by a new Aston Martin 7.3 litre V12 engine, the Project One-77 will deliver breathtaking levels of power and performance expected to top 700bhp and a maximum speed in excess of 200mph. The dramatically styled two-door, two-seat sports coupe will be based on a new carbon fibre monocoque body structure and adopt active aerodynamic technology.

As the initial working title name suggests, production will be limited up to a maximum of 77 individually numbered examples, with deliveries expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2009.
