I expect I am alone, but whilst it is staggeringly beautiful, I just cannot see what can justify the price tag. Maybe if I had unlimited funds I would buy purely for the exclusivity.
Regretfully its not a problem I am going to have the opportunity to address.

You need to look under the skin to see where the price tag comes from

This has a very good article explaining the engineering behind the car.

"the Aston stand was dominated by the first complete One-77 chassis laid bare for all the world to see. Resplendent in carbon-fiber and cast, forged and extruded aluminum, the skinless One-77 is an engineer's dream."

Extremely impressive and reminds me of the single mindedness of the McLaren F1's (successful IMO) attempt to become arguably the worlds best supercar.

In the boot for the suitcase of middle-eastern cash as a novel fund-raising exercise you mean?
