Limited to 77 units worldwide and sporting a carbon monocoque chassis, a 7.3-liter V-12 with at least 700 horsepower, and a hand-formed aluminum body, the near-two-million-dollar One-77 is what happens when an automaker builds a car without ever saying “no” to its engineers.

Only 77 production cars were ever made, but the gorgeous coupe became slightly less exclusive when the 78^th car hit the road. This video tells the story of a One-77 prototype that was turned into a street-legal car. Carrying the chassis number "10711," this is the last of the eleven prototypes built by Aston Martin.

The most exclusive Aston Martin of the 'Gaydon era', One-77 was limited to 77 unique examples.

The top speed was estimated to be 349 km/h (217 mph) but actual tests in December 2009 showed a figure of 354.067 km/h (220.007 mph), with a 0–97 km/h (60 mph) acceleration time of approximately 3.5 seconds.
