Photo of the day: driving the Aston Martin One-77 in Dubai

Read our first drive of Aston Martin’s answer to the Porsche 911 GT3 RS? Here’s a quick summary. It’s great.

Says TG’s Ollie Marriage: “The GT12 is easily the most dynamically competent road-going Aston Martin of the last decade. And yes, that includes the One-77.”

Ah yes, the One-77, the shiny, £1.2m jewel that represented the very pinnacle of Aston’s automotive headwear. A 7.3-litre, V12-engined supercar with 750bhp and a 0-62mph time of 3.7 seconds. Still gorgeous. Still quick.

So, as we’ve just driven the new V12-engined GT12, we came over all nostalgic for the time we drove the gorgeous, V12-engined One-77. You can read the full drive at the link below, but for now, just revel in that picture above.
