One-77 to make public debut at Concorso d’Eleganza

Aston Martin’s newest concept, the One-77, is set to make its public debut today at the Concorso d’Eleganza. The famous and exclusive event is held in the grounds of the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este, on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, and runs from 24-26 April 2009.

While the car on show is considered a concept car, it will have a working drivetrain and finished interior that, if not exact, will be very close to the final production model. A leaked document has given us a sneak preview of the interior already, so seeing a close to final product will prove interesting.

Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr Ulrich Bez is cockahoop, “The craftsmanship and design that has gone into the creation of the Aston Martin One-77 lifts automotive engineering into the realm of art. With its finely sculpted forms and sleek lines, it is an expression of unparalleled beauty that embodies everything Aston Martin stands for.”

The One-77 concept will be revealed in the perfect setting at Lake Como showcasing for the first time a complete concept; including full running powertrain and the world premiere of the eagerly anticipated interior design. The interior environment blends the stunning detail of the exterior and draws it inside with incredible meticulousness through the use of exotic materials and hand made parts detailing the quintessence of Aston Martin engineering and design expertise.

”This is a major step in One-77’s engineering programme, showing the first complete car, and will demonstrate new benchmarks in many different fields of automotive design.
