Spy Shots: Aston Martin One-77 testing at the Nurburgring

HI-RES GALLERY: Spy Shots: Aston Martin One-77 testing at the Nurburgring

The Aston Martin One-77 has been shown in official video testing on-track before, and it's even broken the 220 mph mark in testing. But until now, it hasn't been spotted running the Nurburgring's Nordschleife. Well, wait no longer.

These photos show the car--in a fantastic color-shifting shade of bronze--running hard on the 'Ring. In one shot, it's in close proximity to a Lamborghini Gallardo, which doesn't appear to be running away from it.

In case you've somehow forgotten (for shame!) the stats on the One-77, it's powered by a 7.3-liter V-12 engine estimated to be turning out more than 700 horsepower--official power figures haven't been released yet. A single-clutch automated manual gearbox shaves weight and stands up to abuse better than a dual-clutch 'box would.

With all that power and a focus on high-tech materials and weight savings, the One-77 is good for a claimed 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds, and a top speed in excess of 200 mph in production form, though as we've noted, it's capable of at least 220 mph unrestricted.

With almost all of the One-77's production already sold out--a rumored ten sold to a single buyer--it's unlikely we'll be able to bring you a first-hand drive report any time soon, but in the mean time, you can enjoy the sheer beauty of the car in its natural habitat.

    How is it possible that Aston Martin just cannot make an ugly car? I mean, looking at the history of the automobile just about every care company has made an ugly car at least once. But Aston Martin just doesn't do it. This thing is sexy!

    Looks like Aston's on the slippery slope already. Wheeling out the most senior figures in the company to push the product, disrespecting the heritage of its iconic names, over charging for parts-bin specials, cutting its workforce and outsourcing as such as it can. These are not the actions of a growing company, or even a stable company. These are the manoeuverings of a board that knows the writing is on the wall. Get what we can out of it now before its too late.

    I am a personal injury lawyer Miami and I handled a case where a guy drove an Aston Martin that got into an accident.
