Much like that orange LaFerrari we saw a few days ago, this red Aston Martin One-77 is a hyper car in a simple but rare color, and that is why it is more interesting than usual. These days all high-end cars tend to get bespoke, one-off paint jobs. So it’s quite refreshing to see one in a normal sort of color. It kind of makes the car look less like an unattainable dream!
As for whether or not this color suits the One-77, well, it all comes down to personal preference. But this red Aston Martin One-77 sure is a bigger head-turner than a white example, but not as much as a green one. The car also appears to have a cream-colored leather interior which, again, wouldn’t be our first choice to pair with red, but makes for an utterly unique combo nonetheless.
