Car Throttle

News Bites for today include Dodge's hot Dart,  Audi's new diesel, teaser shots of the upcoming 2013 Dodge Viper, some good ole' fashioned intellectual property theft, an electric crossover thing, and Super Bowl advertisements from Audi and Honda.  Read on for the News Bites! Dodge's Dart subcompact was just revealed a few weeks ago, but we've already got two pieces of future speculation on where the lineup could expand.  First, Mopar will be bringing a concept Dart to the Chicago Auto Show, called the Dart GTS 210 Tribute.  It previews the two "stages" of Mopar upgrades for the new sedan.  Stage 1 will be aesthetic goodies, like the carbon fiber hood with Viper-esque scoop, and matte black side skirts, front diffuser, and other trim - along

Aston Martin has been trumpeting the One-77 for a long time, and we don't mind. OK, the slow drip drip of information at the beginning was a bit maddening, but who would turn down hearing about the most outrageous Aston of them all? Late last year the company announced that just 17 One-77s were left. That is out of a run of just 77 models, as its name implies. Not bad sales figures for the world's second-most expensive car in the world, just behind the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Gran Sport. With a 7.3-liter V-12 making 750 horsepower, it also stands as the world's most powerful car with a naturally-aspirated engine. Aston Martin has just commenced deliveries of the One-77, with the first one taking place in Monte

Aston Martin has teased the One-77 endlessly, slowly releasing information and videos documenting the car, the most recent of which appeared in late September. The One-77 stands as the world's most powerful car with a naturally-aspirated engine, making 750 horsepower from its 7.3-liter V-12. Lately though it appears most news from Aston Martin have been Cygnet-related, and we're glad to shift gears. The One-77 is the fastest and most expensive Aston Martin ever, and it would have been the most expensive car if not for the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport. While most would think that with a difficult economy a $1.87 million supercar would be a tough sell, Aston has announced the One-77 is doing quite well for itself. 17 models are

If it seems like we've been hearing about the Aston Martin One-77 for a long time, that would be correct. Aston Martin has been teasing and showing off the supercar for what seems like ages. And the kicker? It still isn't even out yet. Aston isn't done with the information trickling out yet either. They've introduced a new video as part four of a series on the car. An interesting fact about the One-77 is that, at 750 horsepower, it is the world's highest output naturally-aspirated vehicle. It achieves that power output from a 7.3-liter V-12 engine. Check out more details on the One-77 and some action below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfk09-SphAk&feature=player_embedded#!

I've been following the One-77 thoughout it's development process, as Aston Martin dropped information on the car slowly over a long period. No more! The car has been fully revealed inside and out, live at the Italian show Concorso d'Eleganza. Hello beautiful! The car is absolutely stunning, especially in live images. Definitely the most ultimate expression of Aston Martin's brand ideals ever. Yes, it's that good. The car was unveiled at the Grand Hotel Villa de' Este on the shores of Lake Como, Italy. The public at the Concorso d' Eleganza were allowed to vote on what they viewed as the best concept and the best production car. Among eight entries, the Aston Martin One-77 won best in clase, taking 30% of the vote to win Concorso

It's here and it's pure gorgeousness! After the endless leaks of teasers and tidbits of information on the Aston-Martin One-77 over the past (well, it seems like forever) we finally get an undisguised view of the the production vehicle. Finally, real headlights! Not the blacked out mockups that have been driving me crazy. Tell me that isn't amazing? The One-77 is absolutely fitting of it's role as the ultimate Aston Martin ever. Along with the new images of the exterior comes a reveal of what's under the skin. Aston Martin has on display at the Geneva Show the first completed carbon fibre and aluminum chassis that will underpin the car. In other words, you're looking at Aston Martin One-77 #1. Take a good look at that interior; it's the

There was some reports that the entire 77 unit run of Aston Martin's ultra-expensive One-77 flagship has already been reserved, but that is not so according to World Car Fans. For those with the money, a new One-77 can still be obtained. Whew, I was getting worried! Beautiful, and no doubt an instant classic. The company calls it the embodiment of everything Aston Martin, and that it definitely is. It's very clean and beautiful, I love that side vent and chrome insert. It's also a return to roots somewhat for the automaker, combining the best of both worlds with an old-school handcrafted aluminum body mated to an ultra-modern carbon fibre monocoque chassis. I want to see pics of the actual car in final form with real headlights, etc. We've only got
