As the One-77 creeps finally, nearly, almost towards production, the chaps at Aston have popped it on a dyno. "Come on, Dr Bez... let's see she what she's kicking out, guv'."
And so they spooled up the 7.3-litre V12 and readied the rolling road. On went the 1.2-million quid hypercar and down went the throttle.
The result? Seven hundred and fifty bee-aitch-pee... making it the most Powerful Naturally Aspirated Production Engine in the World Today. No turbos or superchargers or nitro or anything tricksy. Just air and fuel combusting as nature intended inside 12 of the finest British cylinders.
Wanna hear it? Good. Here's their latest video, where Aston's finest look undeniably, and justifiably, happy with themselves. Click play to enjoy 750bhp of joy, and then go and see what happened when the car hit London for the first time.

Does anyone else agree that the sound of the Aston Martin makes the hairs on your neck stand on end??? There are a ton of good engine notes out there; but that engine noise was truly the first one to, quite literally, make my hair really stand on end...as well as something else...
