Aston Martin is here to play with your imagination. Those times have gone by when the famous car maker would busy itself in designing A-class cars only. As of today, it occasionally does enjoy dabbling into creating other luxury stuffs too that car enthusiasts everywhere would heartily appreciate. The DBR1/2 Essence of Form Cufflinks falls in the same category.

These extremely suave and stylish pair of accessories for men depict an exceptional design of a sportscar complete with a driver sitting in. The car in question is the iconic 1950’s DBR1 sports racing car that has been crafted from none other than the original redundant aluminum body panel pieces from DBR1/2 as ‘donor metal’ (yep, that’s the latest trend in the auto world nowadays).

Miniature scale models seem to be the in thing today. We have one more bit of information that might get the attention of the collector in you. The Amalgam Fine Collection is out with a stunning new handcrafted scale model of the oh-so-deliciously-famous Aston Martin DB9. The designers have taken a lot of pain to merge the rather distinctive signature styles of the car with an equally intelligent and uncompromising design theory.

Let’s not forget that the DB9 is a sports car with a high performance and great levels of comfort all, topped with a large dollop of the ‘X’ factor. To our surprise, the scale version captures it all.

Aston Martin is a name that brings to mind the images of style, stability and a class that stands apart from the crowd. There is also one other important thing that it brings to our thoughts and that is big numbers. Anything Aston Martin is going to be at the high-end of the price zone and generally the price tag is going to be a tad bit larger than most others to accommodate all those extra zeros. This  1.2 million Aston martin One-77 sure takes the meaning of the word expensive to a whole new plane.

The Aston Martin One-77 is termed as a fusion of art with Aston Martin craft as it blends a timeless sense of tradition with a futuristic flashy design. The carbon fiber chassis, all-aluminum body and the 7.0 liter V12 engine that can hit 200 mph with ease make this car a collector’s item. Only 77 of these will be made by Aston Martin and already they have 100 applicants for it (Phew… And they say that the economy is sinking!) The technical details of the car are still to be disclosed in detail, but you can bet that this will be an impeccable work of automotive masterpiece.

So why do they call it One-77? People at Aston Martin just thought that 75 was a bit too boring for a limited edition number. When the veil comes off this stunning sizzler at the Paris Motor Show, you could bet we would be gasping for breathe. So, if you are listening Mr. Santa of North Pole, you could maybe pick one of these up and drop it in my living room come Christmas. Though if Santa gets his hands on this one, it is more likely he will swap it for his sledge rather then give it to anyone…

Hello Mr. Bond—here is your new car. Aston Martin has lately unveiled a striking coupe model christened as the One-77. The very name of the coupe implies that this would be a limited-edition supercar by Aston and until now word is around that counted 77 units will be produced. The One-77’s lustrous hood lays a 7.0L V12 with an undisclosed amount of power. However, Auto Express cogitates that the novel 7.0L power plant will be dependable enough to ride the One-77 from zilch to 60 in record 3.5 seconds, hence making up to the top speed in glut of 200 mph.

The body of the One-77’s is said to be built using aluminum, while its framework is developed using carbon fiber. Aston discloses his plans to hit the market by offering One-77’s for sale by late 2009. Flaunting an aggressive shape whilst maintain elegance, the coupe model is anticipated to bear a retail price of £1 million ($2 million). My senses are alarmed to provide you with an update about who becomes its fortunate buyer, once it is available for sale.
