A twin-turbocharged Aston Martin that produces close to 700 kW and costs 7.5 million euros? Yes, it sounds amazing and from the pictures it looks it too. But Aston have just given us the One-77, so what’s this all about then?
This is the Aston Martin Super Sport, a specialist, coachbuilt supercar by Star Electric Cars France. Most of the time they build electric-powered golf carts that resemble Hummers, Bentleys and Astons, along with one-of-a-kind coachbuilds for rich car collectors around the world.
However, with production plans for up to eight Super Sports, this will be mass production by the company’s standards. Although, at over R65 million a piece, we doubt there will be too many disappointed prospective buyers!
The car is powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-litre V8, positioned in the middle of the car, that produces between 588 – 699 kW. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox (with a torque-sensing limited-slip differential), but a Formula 1-style paddleshift transmission is reportedly also available.
The Super Sport will be built with carbon fibre bodywork and Brembo, or AP Racing, carbon ceramic brakes. The interior will be covered in leather, alcantara and carbon fibre, with a set of Recaros to keep you snug.
The dramatic looking hypercar features plenty of Aston Martin styling cues, despite there being nothing in the British company’s current range that looks remotely similar. Each of the eight units will be be painted in a different colour, with each color only being used once.
