ASTON Martin’s limited-edition supercar, the One-77, has moved a step closer to breaking the record for top speed from a British car marque.
The £1.3million supercar, of which only 77 will be produced, “comfortably” reached 200mph in initial high-speed trials, according to Aston Martin sources. Windy conditions saw the test car, powered by a 7.3-litre V12 engine, reach 220.007mph. Further testing at a top secret European location is set to take place in early-2010.
The McLaren F1 is currently the fastest ever British road car. Capable of 240mph, it held the title of world’s fastest car from 1998 until 2005.
