Limited edition Aston Martin One-77 supercar

August 8th 2008 04:42

Luxury marque Aston Martin has released a tantalising first image of its newest flagship supercar - the ultra exotic "One-77". Details of the new model are still sketchy but what we do know is that the One-77 will be powered by a stonking 7.0-litre V12 mill that sits on a completely new chassis made entirely of expensive carbon fibre along with ultra-lightweight aluminium body panels.

Just 77 examples of the ultra-exclusive coupe will be produced at around AU$2 million a pop with discerning customers able to customise their purchase to their exact specifications.

One-77 fuses advanced technology with stunning Aston Martin design to create possibly the world's most desirable automotive art form. Based on a sophisticated carbon fibre chassis with a handcrafted aluminium body, this 7.0 litre V12 super car will deliver exhilarating performance for a strictly limited number of discerning customers.

More details of this exciting new flagship will be posted as soon as they come to hand.

Jaguar XK60 60th Anniversary Special Edition

July 25th 2008 05:30

This year is the 60th anniversary of Jaguar's famous XK nameplate that was introduced in 1948 with the iconic XK120 sports car. To celebrate this milestone, the British car maker has launched a special series of the current XK model for the UK market. Appropriately named XK60, the special edition series is available with a 4.2-litre V8 engine developing 219 kW, in both coupé and convertible variants.

The XK60’s features include exclusive 20-inch Senta alloy wheels, a sporty alloy gear knob and selector-gate surround, a new front spoiler and rear valance panel, chrome-finished side vents and bright upper and lower front grille meshes, special tailpipe finishers and appliqués on both sides of the car.

Prices are set at £60,995 for the XK60 Coupe and £66,995 for the Convertible.

The Official Jaguar Press Release:

NEW XK60 SPECIAL EDITION TO MARK 60 YEARS OF THE JAGUAR XK

In 1948, Jaguar created what would become one of the most famous automotive names in the world, as the all-new and highly advanced XK engine made its debut in the revered XK120 sports car. Now, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of that iconic car, Jaguar is launching a very special series of the current XK for the UK market – the uniquely equipped and aptly named XK60, a car that pays homage to the legendary performance of its predecessors.

Much has changed in those 60 years, but the Jaguar ethos of beautiful, fast cars remains as true today as it did in 1948. The current XK range was the first of the modern breed of Jaguars to introduce the marque’s new design language as well as the technologically acclaimed advanced lightweight architecture.

Like every Jaguar to carry the XK badge, the XK60 is all about performance with style – plus a large helping of individuality. And as the XKR Portfolio and XKR-S Special Editions brought something extra to the supercharged XK models, XK60 offers its own spin on the naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8 XK, in both coupé and convertible forms.

XK60s will be built from July 2008. The car offers a host of additional extras beyond the XK’s already impressive specification at no extra cost. For following another Jaguar tradition, every XK60 will be a hugely desirable car with an impressively accessible price tag.

The XK60 customer will benefit from dramatic 20-inch Senta alloy wheels, a sporty alloy gear knob and selector-gate surround, plus distinctive body enhancements: a new front spoiler and rear valance panel, chrome-finished side vents and bright upper and lower front grille meshes, special tailpipe finishers and appliqués on both sides of the car.

Sixty years on, the 2008 XK sits as far above the crowd as its namesake did in 1948. It has the same sporting DNA, the same stunning eye for proportion and detail, the same dynamic focus for the driver who loves driving. And where the original XK120 introduced an engine whose sophistication rewrote the production car rule-book in its day, the XK60 bristles with technical sophistication of its own.

Jaguar’s advanced all-aluminium construction makes the XK60 the lightest yet strongest car in its class; CATS Computer Active Technology Suspension underpins its perfect balance of control and agility with comfort and refinement; its six-speed automatic transmission is recognised as one of the world’s best; and like the ground-breaking XK120, the XK60 is powered by an acclaimed engine – in this case the 298PS 4.2-litre AJ-V8.

From launch, this all-alloy, four-camshaft, 32-valve gem had the best specific power and torque of any engine in its class, the lightest weight, the lightest valve gear (even with its variable inlet valve timing), and the stiffest structure. In other words, it was another outstanding engine at the heart of another outstanding XK.

So the 60th anniversary of the XK name is a milestone well worth celebrating, and the XK60 is a unique car to show that modern Jaguar still has the power to surprise and delight.
