Be patient with me for one moment, please. I\u2019m going to drop an F-bomb.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Football. There, I\u2019ve said it. In football you have strikers, players who wear the number 9 on their backs and lead the line and attempt to score goals. Until that is, one day somebody decided to try something different. What if they don\u2019t try to score goals, what if they drop into midfield? Thus, the \u2018False 9\u2019 position was created. Aston Martin clearly thought the football coaches were onto something because Britain\u2019s foremost producer of Grand Tourers made its own \u2018False\u2019 car back in 2009.<\/p>\n

\"One-77<\/a><\/figure>\n

From the outside, the recipe looks fairly normal for an Aston Martin. It\u2019s front-engined, rear-wheel driven with a beautiful interior and exterior formed into the traditional two-door coupe shape that nearly all Aston\u2019s are. You think you know what to expect. You think you\u2019ve got it sussed out. It\u2019s an Aston Martin, right? Well, yes, and no.<\/p>\n

For a start the V12 engine we find beating away at the heart of most Astons is no normal V12. Aston took a standard normally-aspirated 6.0-litre of its V12 commonly fitted to its other models and mutated it. Contemporary reviews of the new car mentioned its new character, there was something wilder and unchained about it, but then again there probably would be – it was now a 7.3-litre unit and had 750bhp to unleash.<\/p>\n

\"One-77<\/a><\/figure>\n

Then there\u2019s the construction. Most of the car is covered with hand-crafted aluminium body panels, but if you peel those off you\u2019d find a carbon fibre monocoque construction under the skin with room for just two seats. Look at the front and you\u2019ll see that huge V12 has been set right back into the middle of the car – oh, it\u2019s mid-engined. The splitter and diffuser are also carbon fibre, there\u2019s active aerodynamics at work, fully adjustable suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, and perhaps most significantly of all there\u2019s nowhere to store luggage. Well, that\u2019s no good for Grand Touring, is it?<\/p>\n

\"Interior<\/a><\/figure>\n

If you\u2019re building a Grand Tourer, there\u2019s no real need to go to the trouble of constructing a car in this manner. Of course, maybe Aston Martin just did it for the Hell of it, but there\u2019s surely more to it than that. It\u2019s capable of 220mph, 62 of those arriving in under 3.7-seconds, and has huge Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres – rubber optimised for pure performance. Come on, this construction, these figures, this layout? This is pure hypercar. This is Aston Martin\u2019s \u2018False GT\u2019 then, a car that\u2019s far happier being used as an outright sports car, something that really needs to be let off its leash in order to be fully appreciated.<\/p>\n

\"Exterior<\/a><\/figure>\n

Aston itself doesn\u2019t really make an effort to truly define it. It\u2019s mentioned as a \u2018sports car\u2019 and as having \u2018the goal of eclipsing any previous Aston Martin road car\u2019. In truth, only the lucky owners will really know how the car drives, but it\u2019s safe to say that though it might look like a GT car, the extremities to which Aston Martin went to construct and equip the One-77 suggest it\u2019s a far, far more hardcore creation.<\/p>\n

\"One-77<\/a><\/figure>\n

If you want to experience it for yourself, you\u2019ll now need at least 2 million quid to buy one. Originally the One-77 was priced at \u00a31.15m with a super-exclusive production run of just 77 cars. One of those cars was killed in Hong Kong, so with just 76 cars left out there in the world remaining, prices are going to be pretty steep.<\/p>\n

\"One-77<\/a><\/figure>\n

Whatever the One-77 really is, nobody can deny that it\u2019s something really, truly special. There won\u2019t be many normally aspirated V12 sports cars produced going forward – if any at all – and so the One-77 may represent one of the last great flourishes of the \u2018old way\u2019 of doing things. Because of that, maybe this particular player is worth forking out the big transfer fee for.<\/p>\n

Oh, to have a few million quid lying around\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
