Hmm..Its sexy for sure, but it cost $2.4 million! I don't feel they pushed design far enough to justify such a crazy price. Sure, its exotic and there will only be 77 of them, but it doesnt look that much different from a regular Aston Martin. Does it really take a 2 million dollar car to push these guys to strive for perfection in automotive design? The $250,000 price tag of a "regular" DBS isnt enough motivation for them to create perfection?
Regardless, it is very sexy but I was expecting it to be slightly less exclusive, say in the $400,000 range.

Single buyer bags 10 Aston Martin One-77 Supercars
In the normal world of ours, we can only dream of owning “a” supercar, however, to dream of owning 10 supercars, either you’ve got to be a lazy bum with a lot of lazybones or you are someone with a lot of oil wells in the backyard. Of course, the second one sounds better and according to a report, a Middle Eastern buyer has decided to purchase 10 limited edition Aston Martin One-77 supercar for his family. At the 1.7 million price tag, One-77 supercar is limited to just 77 units of these exotic beasts, but owning 10 would mean $23 million. The One-77 is made using a carbon fiber monocoque to keep the weight at an absolute minimum – just 3,300 lbs — and the road-burning power comes from a 7.3-liter V12 making 750-hp with a top speed at 220 mph. So, if you haven’t seen money doing the talks before, I think you just did.
When you have too much bling bling for one of those suckers, there ain't no "too much" or "rip off" in your dictionary!!
