2010 Aston Martin One-77

The supposed tussle for the bragging rights of being a marquee super sports car is turning out to be a no-brainer. The svelte 2010 Aston Martin One-77 has brought the lofty standards of exotic fast cars several notches higher. Earning the moniker "definitive sports car," this Aston masterpiece is a top-heavy head turner. The One-77 retains the enduring tradition of Aston for cutting-edge technology, attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship. The inspiration and power behind the Aston Martin One-77 is also the culmination of the pursuit for perfection, delivering the level of performance eclipsing the norms set by its older Aston Martin siblings.

Its grand entry has created quite a stir, easily leaving an indelible mark that is hard to match for many years to come. With a price tag of £1,200,000, this One-77 exotic fast car is the hands-down show-stopper, breaking barriers with its revolutionary mix of aluminum body and super strong carbon fiber framework. This Aston Martin roadster easily reaches a dizzying speed of 60 mph well within 3.5 seconds and hits a top speed of 220 mph / 354 km/h. While this may form part of the typical sound bite for this quintessential Aston Martin masterpiece, you can expect that we are getting a bagful of tricks and treats that will surely leave its closest pursuers drooling with envy.

The technical supremacy that is defined by the stellar demonstration of unparalleled engineering design expertise is definitely not skin deep, as we are expected to find the familiar "wow-factor" underneath its exquisite body frame. Of course, the heart of its amazing features is its powerhouse engine that redefines the overall performance standards of speedsters under the front-engine rear wheel car category, including those that belong to the DTM race car series.

The performance level of a race car is infused into the overall design of One-77. Aston Martin engineers have employed the classic design of dual wishbone for each corner of the two-seater speedster and features front and rear inboard suspension assembly with pushrods. This intricate suspension system effectively transfers the inertial movement from the vertical suspension assembly to the horizontally-mounted damper units. The main advantage of this special design concept for the inboard suspension is the significant reduction in the "un-sprung" weight and the solid packaging of the suspension assembly.

The dampers in the Aston Martin One-77 are completely adjustable and features the proprietary DSSV (Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve) technology; which marks the first time this application is ever applied in road cars. In fact, this valve configuration is considered top-end even in car racing standards. This revolutionary application makes use of high-precision machine-molded components that provides for an easy modification of shock-absorbing capabilities of the dampers without the need of removing the said assembly from the car, which is the usual norm. With the distinct character of the Aston Martin One-77, once it is transferred to its owner, Aston Martin engineers shall reconfigure the suspension specs to match their driving requirements.

Industry-leading efficiency and functionality in the design and development of this latest offering from Aston Martin is already a given, and the aesthetic appeal is definitely not far behind. The Aston Martin engineers went the extra mile to ensure that every single component of this super sports car is finely crafted with extreme precision using top-end materials. Aston Martin has left no stone unturned in weaving its magic in creating an exceptional and top-performing roadster. The Aston Martin One-77 takes the challenge to a higher plane with its cutting-edge rolling chassis hailed by experts as an automotive masterpiece.

This Aston speedster scores big points with its exceptional drive-train. This comes as a sturdy naturally-aspirated 7.3-litre V12 engine. This Aston Martin masterpiece boasts of lower center-of-gravity compared to its predecessors. This is made possible by the lower mounting of its engine by 100 mm as a result of the application of the dry-sump type of oil system. The One-77 also scores high when it comes to road-handling and agility. This distinct edge by the Aston Martin speedster is achieved through the mounting of the engine by about 257 mm astern in relation to the centerline of the front wheel assembly.

While the big story about the Aston Martin One-77 are mostly about the exquisite components that are all hidden from the public eye, yet you are assured that every component is the handiwork full of passion and commitment to perfection. Indeed, the Aston Martin One-77 is a cut above the rest, and it deserves its billing as the "definitive sports car."

2005 Ferrari FXX


Ferrari FXX specs
Top Speed: 243 mph / 391 km/h
0-60 mph: 2.8 seconds
Engine: 6.2 liter V12 800 bhp @ 8,500rpm
The Ferrari FXX supercar is manufactured in Italy, along with all other Ferrari's, and was under production by the end of 2005. This sports car is a great display of new car technology, which includes innovations from Ferrari, along with other companies that have continuously contracted parts in association with the Ferrari brand. The Enzo is the supercar that the FXX is based on, but there are specific functions found on the FXX, that are not found on the Enzo, which makes the FXX a complete car of its own accord. The engine, and other standard operating systems for the car, are modeled after the Enzo as well, but have been modified to accommodate differing fuel standards, and other technological restrictions.

The FXX boasts a very low gear shifting time (under 100 ms), which is essential for a sports car of this high magnitude. The brake pads have also been tweaked in order to create a safer atmosphere for the driver, while still making the car just as superficially viable as its predecessor. The tires are another feature that are highly touted as an individual characteristic of the car, and are custom made only for the Ferrari FXX, not for any other vehicle. Like the Enzo, the features of the Ferrari FXX's interior are custom made for the user, which means that every driver is measured specifically measured for the car upon purchase.

The Ferrari FXX is definitely a supercar that cannot be mass-produced, mainly due to production costs, but also due to the fact that only a select few are willing to purchase such an exotic car due to the extensively high $ 1,773,000 / 1,500,000 euro price. Thus only 29 units of this sports car were built. The Ferrari FXX computer technology held inside the car also makes for a great driving experience, and tells the driver how their technique can be improved to assist their ability to function along with the car.

ROLEX

Rolex-YACHT-MASTER-Blue-Dial-Baselworld-2012.jpg
The Rolex Yacht-Master looks good with the new blue sunray dial; it contrasts perfectly with the platinum bezel. The design is quite striking, especially in comparison to the previous generation which features a somewhat bland silver on platinum combination.

New at Basel: Chopard Classic Manufactum with In-House Movement

Chopard Classic Manufactum
Chopard has added a new collection, simply called Classic, to its portfolio, with the first watch in the new line, the Classic Manufactum, making its debut at the Baselworld watch fair. The understated design of the watches is inspired by the pocketwatches of the Belle Epoque, which helped establish the reputation of brand founder Louis-Ulysse Chopard.
The classicism of the design starts with the porcelain-type dial and its shiny black Roman numerals and extends to the small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, which features a “railtrack” graduation typical of vintage pocketwatches of the era; and the slender gold-toned hands. The 38-mm-diameter case is available in 18k rose, white or yellow gold and features an 18k gold crown and an exhibition caseback.
The Classic Manufactum also contains a new movement, automatic Chopard Caliber 01.04-C, which was entirely developed in-house and produced in the workshops of Fleurier Ebauches, which makes the movements not destined for Chopard’s L.U.C Haute Horlogerie collection. The third reference developed by this workshop, which is part of the Chopard Group, Caliber 01.04-C drives the hour and minute hands, along with the small seconds and the date display at 3 o’clock. It beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph and has a 60-hour power reserve.
The watch is fitted with a matte black alligator leather strap with an 18k gold pin buckle. The rose-gold model (pictured) retails for $14,740. Prices on the other models have yet to be determined. Click on the picture below for a larger image.
