77th Heaven: Aston Martin's superstar One-77 supercar
In the December issue (W*141), Wallpaper* visit the production line in Warwickshire where the 77 One-77 supercars are currently being assemled. Each is constructed with meticulous thoroughness, with a single car taking around six to eight weeks to assemble. Aston Martin concedes that a fair proportion of the cars will exist only as cherished museum pieces, rarely driven to their far reaching limits. Nevertheless, the One-77 will also be an expression of industrial proficiency without equal, a piece of design that will endure for decades to come.
