$9.6 Million Aston Martin

A few years ago, Aston Martin was busy creating an extremely special edition vehicle called the One-77 supercar. Fast forward to this year, and Aston Martin is at work again creating another special supercar that will be produced in an even more limited supply than the One-77. This time, they have enlisted the help of Star Electric Cars France to produce the Aston Martin Super Sport Limited Edition. The new model will be limited to only 8 units, each priced to € 7,500,000 (around $9,600,000 at the current exchange rates).

So what exactly does $9.6 million USD buy you? 

This limited edition vehicle is apparently being built by Star Electric Cars based out of France. Until now Star Electric Cars was better known for making electric golf carts that resemble Hummers, Cadillacs and Bentleys. The exterior of the car is clearly Aston Martin-inspired, but I need to stress that this isn’t an Aston Martin at all. It’ll consist of plenty of lightweight carbon fiber bodywork and scissor doors. Inside the race-inspired vehicle receives Recaro seats, custom leather and Alcantara upholstery and carbon fiber trim. And for those that actually believe they’ll drive this thing more than a couple of times a year, there’s a built-in navigation system and iPod adapter.

And as for performance? Well for that price tag, I’d hope it would blow us away – and I guess it does. A 5.4L V- powerplant is mid-mounted, mated to a twin-turbo setup that helps put down an astonishing 800 to 950 hp. Clearly it’ll be rear wheel drive and will come with a six-speed manual transmission with an optional F1 paddle shift.
