Evo’s Harry Metcalfe is the first journalist to get to properly review the Aston Martin One-77. The car’s been around for a while now, but Aston never let anyone spend more than a few minutes in it. This car is – judging by that awesome license plate – owned by Saudi royalty. Seems like Harry knows the right guys!

Hit the jump and check out never seen before details of the magnificent Aston Martin One-77.

The ultimate Aston Martin is powered by a 7.3 liter version of the firm’s famous V12 engine, developing 730 horsepower, transmitted to the road through the rear wheels via a new six-speed gearbox, controlled via column-mounted paddles behind the steering wheel. This robotised sequential manual is a new generation of Aston Martin’s familiar transmission, and it’s much happier being pushed to the limit than cruising around at slow speeds.

The most fascinating part of this car, however, must be the boot!
