Suspension Lovers: Aston One-77

A student I talked to last term gave me a heads up saying how crazy the suspension setup was for the One-77. He apparently helped work on it a couple of years ago but man, I definitely did not expect this!!

And I thought the tease they pulled earlier this year was impressive…How many other cars can you think of with inboard suspension? Crazy! Other than kit cars or mods people have done, I can’t really think of too many other production cars out there with this setup…

That is indeed a better build than my 240… lol jk… man that is hardcore CNC’d work right there… woah… i love it

I dunno shit about suspension but damn that looks proper.

Aston Martin = House on Wheels

that is wicked…i read somewhere recently they may produce like 70 or something and retail in the million’s range from what i recall …correct me if im wrong…but that nuts i love Aston’s.

^^yeah i think i read somewhere that the car’s called project one and that there’s 77 being made…so that’s why they’re calling it the AM Project One-77 I guess.

I’m actually kind of disappointed with the quality of welds on the front bulkhead (white in the first pic), they’re not very nice looking… I mean, I’m sure they’re strong, but for $1 mil I expect a perfect stack of dimes.

I might be wrong but I think the front is cast aluminum and if its anything like cast iron it’s a lot harder to weld. But your right the welds should be perfect, everything else looks to be.

this thing is hella crazy.
as for the welds look at the frame in the second pic. just as sketch.
quality = wamp wamp
but amazing as f*ck

yeah, that’s true…welds seem no better in quality than any other mass production car, just stronger…

does anyone by any chance know what the second set of dampers are for in the pic below? i’ve never seen 2 sets like that before so i just wondering…
