The credit crunch is clearly not affecting Aston’s customers – the company has already received 100 orders for its new £1.2million hypercar. Buyers have reportedly put down a £200,000 deposit for the car, codenamed One-77, and deliveries are expected to start in autumn 2009.
Chief designer Marek Reichmann said interest in the car had been ‘incredible’. Just 77 of the 7.3-litre 200mph Astons will be built and prospective buyers were given a glimpse at the Paris Motor Show. The carmaker kept much of the One-77 covered up, only revealing a section at the front and back. The first cars will be built next summer.
