Video: Aston Martin One-77

Now this is getting pretty interesting. Aston Martin’s monster – the One-77 – in action.

The car’s powered by a massive 7.3L V12 that’s capable of dishing out north of 700 horses. The car can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.5 seconds and can blow way beyond 200 mph. In one test, Aston was even able to plow the thing all the way up to 200 mph.

This car is absolutely no pansy. And the Aston styling definitely helps match some good looks to all that muscle.

Only 77 of the cars will be ever built.

Ferrari Plans Hybrids for All Models

This is it, people. The end of the world is nigh for purist petrolheads – Ferrari is considering offering hybrids for all of their models! Ferrari and Fiat chairman Luca di Motezemolo announced that the Italian supercar maker is looking into offering hybrid versions of cars fleetwide within four years tops.

“This is a first step of a long project and we want within three years, maximum four, to have a hybrid Ferrari car ready for every single product of our range. This is our goal. In three years we aim to cut emissions by a minimum of 35 percent,” di Montezemolo announced to reporters.

Automakers are pressure to take into consideration economy and emissions due to the growing green legislation that require lower fleetwide figures. The legislation can limit their markets in Europe and the United States if automakers decide not to comply.

Ferrari showcased a green 599 GTB HY-KERS at the Geneva motor show. It showcases Ferrari’s developments in the hybrid front. The standard GTB Fiorano’s equipped with an electric motor together with its gasoline engine.

Now if Lambo does the same thing then maybe the green revolution has indeed won.

Limited Edition Aston Martin DBS UB-2010

Call it hubris but Dr. Ulrich Bez gets his own special edition Aston Martin edition. Meet the Aston Martin DBS UB-10 – a limited edition Aston that’s built to commemorate Dr. Bez’s 10 years in the company as CEO.

Mechanically, the cars are pretty much the same but they are styled according to Bez’s own taste. And by looking at the car, Bez has quite the sense of style for a German.

The cars get an Azurite Black paint job and metallic bronze leather interior. The car’s fascia is also finished with Cryptic Titan. A numbered plaque will also be hand signed by Bez.

Only 40 of these cars will ever be built split between a set of coupes and another set of convertibles.

Lotus Evora Carbon

So Lotus is coming up with variants of the Evora. We’ve already heard about the 414E Hybrid that Lotus is showcasing at the Geneva show. Alongside the hybrid, Geneva motor show audiences will also be able to check out this souped up Evora – the Lotus Evora Carbon.

The Evora Carbon derives much of its features from the Evora race car that competed in the GT4 series.

The car features a white water-based pearlescent paint that provides great contrast with the carbon-fiber panels. The car sits atop 19-inch alloys with Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires.The diffuser and splitter are both made of carbon fiber.

While the 414E Hybrid might just remain a concept car, the Evora Carbon might just make it as a production model.

Koenigsegg Agera Revealed

Believe it or not, Koenigsegg is 15 years old. Just a few years since it was first reported to be in bankruptcy trouble, Koenigsegg even tried to buy out Saab last year. Looks like Koenigsegg’s prospects are good.

And they’re back in their element with the launch of the Koenigsegg Agera – proof that the horsepower wars isn’t over just yet. The Agera just happens to have 910 horsepower. It might not give the Bugatti or SSC a reason to start shitting their pants, but it’s 910 bhp is still nuclear.

The car is powered by the same 4.7L V8 from the CCX but its been twin-turbocharged for good measure to allow the engine to dish out that much hp and a max torque of 737 lb-ft. The figures allow the car to go from 0-62 mph in just 3.1 seconds and a top speed of more than 240 mph.

The Agera isn’t designed to replace the CCX or the CCXR and will be built alongside these models in Koenigsegg’s Sweden plant.
