The Scoop

The highly anticipated official unveiling of the Aston Martin One-77 took place at the 2009 Geneva auto show in March.  The principles of front-engine/rear-drive touring-car racers are what the One-77’s architecture is based on according to Aston Martin.  As such, this fine piece of machinery features a carbon-fiber monocoque and a double-wishbone suspension that features inboard, pushrod-actuated dynamic shocks.   As if that weren’t enough, final suspension tuning is to be executed at the time the vehicle is physically delivered to the new owner.vw dealership in Pretoria. How about that, never seen before customization?

According to Aston, special consideration was given to the aesthetic aspect of each mechanical component instead of only to its function as is typically the case.

Aluminum design has been put to very good use on the One-77.  The grill, though impressive, doesn’t overpower the body.  The rear fenders, however, are massive as are the 20-inch multi spoke wheels.  Both the headlights and taillights feature impressively designed details, and the rear diffuser is something to contend with.

Powering the Aston Martin One-77 is a 7.3-liter version of the already-impressive 5.9-liter V-12 found in other Astons.  The engine is still naturally aspirated but with dry-sump lubrication allowing it to be mounted almost four inches lower in the chassis than in any previous V-12–powered road-driving Aston.  Because the engine sits lower in the chassis it means that, for the first time on any Aston, the hood is lower than the fenders. Does that point to a new design direction for the brand? According to Aston Martin, it hints at where they could possibly take it.  They do admit that the One-77  forms part of the message of future products in terms of its visual aesthetic.

Aston Martin invited Cosworth to the party to develop the 700 hp power unit. Cosworth did definately bring its racing experties to the table. It is mounted 10.1 inches behind the center line of the front wheels for the most advantageous weight distribution.a car with such a powerful V12 still manages to weigh 25 percent less than the 5.9-liter. This, when combined with many other weight-reduction measures throughout the vehicle, translates into an overall projected weight of just over 3300 pounds. Expect a 0-to-60-mph time of just 3.5 seconds and a top speed in excess of 200 mph.

No surprise that only 77 of these cars will be sold and only to a selected few. But then again, pricing is expected to be around $1.75 million, so – enough said. toyota yaris for sale in gauteng

The 2009 DBS better be pretty though, because it will set prospective buyers back between two hundred and seventy and three hundred thousand dollars, but just as with any Aston Martin, there is more to this car than just a pretty face… 

Beneath the hood of this beautiful specimen sits one powerhouse of an engine – a 5.9 liter V12, churning a whooping 510hp to move the car just past the 190mph top speed.Acceleration for the DBS is an elegant 4.3 seconds. 

The DBS’s initial launch into the automotive world was just eighteen short months ago, its beauty and performance took the driving world by storm then and Aston Martin hasn’t changed a whole lot since the original – they didn’t have to. 

New for the second incarnation are the diamond turned wheels which, aside from being absolutely stunning, manage to take an impressive four and a half pounds of weight off per wheel – that coupled with a portion of the body being made from carbon make this version almost two hundred pounds lighter than the DB9 which it is partially patterned after. 

The 2009 version also has an option for two rear bucket seats where the original just had a modest amount of storage behind the front seats. This at least helps to give the impression that Aston Martin also had the family man in mind when slightly retooling this incredible piece of machinery, though I don’t know a whole lot of people with two children, aside from professional athletes and movie/television stars who could afford to plunk down three hundred thousand for an everyday travel vehicle. 

For drivers, like myself, who would rather be immersed in their favorite music than hearing the roar of the massive 510 horsepower V12 engine rumbling beneath the hood, the 2009 DBS comes with an absolutely out of this world sound system – a ten speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system that is truly capable of making ears bleed should you have the desire. 

The 2009 DBS still uses the space age form of entry that every one fell in love with from the original – the ECU or “Emotion Control Unit” in lieu of using the more traditional keyed form or automobile entry. 

If you have more than a quarter of a million dollars to spend on your next vehicle and are still having doubts about the Aston Martin DBS, ask yourself this – if it was good enough for James Bond to use (and destroy) not once, but twice how could it not be good enough for you.
