77 hand-built cars, a 7.3-litre naturally-aspirated V12 and 750 bhp — Aston's first true modern hypercar.

Revealed at the 2008 Paris Motor Show and delivered between 2009 and 2012, the One-77 was Aston Martin's first car conceived as a limited-production hypercar. The carbon-fibre monocoque was bonded to a hand-formed aluminium body and powered by a Cosworth-developed 7.3-litre naturally-aspirated V12 producing 750 bhp — the most powerful naturally-aspirated production V12 of its era. The 6-speed automated-manual transaxle was sourced from Graziano.
Production was capped at 77 cars at approximately £1.15 million each, with delivery handled through Q by Aston Martin's bespoke programme.
Aston Martin's first carbon-tubbed hypercar; an emblematic statement of the Newport Pagnell-to-Gaydon transition.
| Variant | Years | Production | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-77 | 2009–2012 | 77 | All hand-built; Q specification varies. |
Start with identity, paperwork and originality. For the Aston Martin One-77, the strongest cars have continuous ownership history, matching numbers where applicable, original books and tools, factory build documentation and evidence of work by manufacturer-approved specialists. Original Q specification, unmodified body and trim, low ownership chain.
Cosworth 7.3 V12 requires specialist service; verify scheduled major service has been completed. A proper pre-purchase inspection includes cold-start behaviour, ECU diagnostics and fault-code history (where applicable), leak-down or compression testing, underbody photography, suspension and chassis inspection, brake condition and a long enough road test to expose heat-related faults. Deferred maintenance on a car of this class is almost always more expensive than buying a better-sorted example.
Use a paint-depth gauge, lift access and a specialist familiar with the model's factory panel gaps and finish standards. Collector value is dramatically affected by structural repairs, refinished panels, poor paintwork and missing factory trim or option content. Documented cosmetic refresh is acceptable; concealed accident or fire damage must be priced severely.
Bespoke colours, original ownership chain, full Works Service history. Specification, colour, options and limited-build variants move values significantly. Buy the best-documented example in the most desirable specification you can justify, rather than a tired example of a rarer derivative that will need years of corrective work.
Regional ranges authored independently — each reflects its local market, not an FX conversion
Budget annually even if the car is used sparingly. Fluids age, tyres and date-coded rubber components must be replaced regardless of mileage, and stored cars need exercise. A documented maintenance rhythm protects both reliability and resale value.
Aston Martin Works at Newport Pagnell remains the central authority on the One-77. Before purchase, confirm parts availability for model-specific bodywork, electronics, gearbox and engine components. A discounted car waiting on unobtainable parts or a factory service slot is rarely a saving in collector ownership.
