As the über-ridiculous Aston Martin One-77 approaches final production-readiness, watching the thing run hot laps is finally becoming as much fun as wrapping your head around its €1.4m ($1.9m) pricetag. Especially because we’re extremely unlikely to ever see one of these things on the street. According to Auto Motor und Sport, Aston has already received a $14m offer for ten of the One-77′s 77-unit production run, apparently from a single Gulf State collector. So unless you live in one of the tonier neighborhoods of Dubai, you’re unlikely to get any closer to the One-77′s 760 horsepower V-12 than this. Enjoy the taste, peasants.

Sure isn’t much to look at. It’s like the Vanquish but with the Looney Toons factor dialed to 11. I’d rather see a DB 5.
I see a future where gulf state collectors actually own the manufacturers to do their own private bidding.
So Dubai is the new Brunei?
Meh. Nothing that can’t be replicated with a Vanquish and $10,000 worth of upgrades.
So, what do you think – one for him, and nine for his friends so they can all race? Or does he figure that he’s probably going to write off nine of ‘em before he gets tired of the car and wants something else?
It looks awkward with the spoiler up, like a T-Rex with its silly little arms.
$2 million and enough power to pass…what, an Opel Astra???
No it looks like a focus hatchback. Either way, it damns the Aston with faint praise.
At least it wasn’t a Dacia Sandero.
Sabine Schmitt could probably blow past in her Transit van.
Buying ten will (almost) guarantee one will start and run.

Don’t listen to the pundits. This is a bona-fide leading economic indicator about the certainty of plentiful long term oil reserves….
For the sake of this things (admittedly great, without the spoiler) looks, I hope the Gulf states don’t require a US style light-strip for overly wide vehicles.
