Bound and determined to get your hands on an Aston Martin One-77? If so, now's the time to get serious. According to duPont Registry, the very last factory-built One-77 is finally up for sale.

The car is located in Tampa Bay, Florida, and its exact build number is not known. According to the report, the first and last One-77, build numbers one and 77, were pre-sold to wealthy buyers expecting them to appreciate in value faster than the other 75 One-77 models created.

In any case, duPont Registry claims there are between five and eight One-77 supercars roaming the streets in the United States, making this one rare Aston Martin. Interested? Better get a move on... and bring along something in the neighborhood of $2 million.

Aston Martin, whose name we earlier knew for making high-end luxury cars, is now going to be associated with creating boats with similar degree of high-end styling, courtesy Luiz de Basto designs. The European design house has created the concept Voyage 55 yacht, inspired by the automotive brilliance of the Vantage, Rapide, DBS and Virage on to a common ‘boating platform’.

When new boats, ships, cars or anything in the technology space has been introduced in the past, we generally have noticed a pattern of advancements which ascend the laws of science, but this yacht concept from Luiz de Basto designs looks to do nothing of that. It has all the comfort and technical features that the boat of its kind will need, such as the 2-person seating arrangement,space for light luggage, and also the anchor but its main unique selling point will be the designing aspect.

Apart from the ultra-stylish green color and shape, one can see the crafted golden Aston Martin logo on the engine front, along with the head lamps and bow clasp, which was earlier seen in some of the Aston Martin cars. What surprised us the most, was that all of the material used to create the boat has very low carbon foot-print, but at the same time doesn’t use wood anywhere, which is supposedly an integral part of most high-end yachts! At a time when going green seems to be the way, the Aston Martin Voyage certainly shows the way like no one ever did before. The Voyage yacht is currently presented as a concept, hence will allow its customers to add their own modifications as per choice. Sources say that the yacht is ready to order, so one might want to approach Luiz de Basto Designs with your respective orders.

The CPT002 is the key to your Aston Martin vehicle, automatically unlocking the doors as you approach, however this is just the beginning as the phone also connects directly to the car display while remaining in your pocket. The CPT002 software combines with the vehicle GPS providing a new level of social network experience:

FourSquare will show your current location as well as the location of your friends and nearby venues all integrated on a GPS map of the Aston Martin car display, to help you plan your night and organize parking locations.

Cameras integrated into the vehicle can be set to periodically update FaceBook and Twitter with pictures, video, and information of passing cities/landmarks during road trips, or can update your social sites in real time with your progress during race track days.

At the time of an accident, the vehicle Airbag will receive accelerometer information from the CPT002 in the driver’s pocket. These readings will give the car information of the driver’s acceleration movement from within the car seat, allowing for more responsive control over safety deployments such as airbag sequence, timing, and seatbelt stiffening.

Mobiado is consistently guided by a philosophy of doing things differently, and this principle has now given rise to the CPT002 Aston Martin Concept Phone. Staying on the cutting edge of design required the freedom to push the limits of what a luxury phone can be. The heart of the CPT002 is the solid sapphire crystal, see-through capacitive touch screen. The sides of the CPT are crafted from platinum; they incorporate the battery, electronics, and SIM card allowing for the screen of the phone to be transparent giving the phone a simple modern look while maintaining a luxurious appearance.
The purpose of a concept is to push the boundaries of invention, allowing concept ideas to be identified for future production designs. Mobiado’s passion for the avant-garde is an essential element of its DNA and history, and the driving force of its R&D strategy.

RM Auctions, in association with Sotheby’s, has sold the James Bond’s gadget-packed 1964 Aston Martin DB5, driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger and Thunderball, for a cool £2.6 million ($4.1 million) in London. Jerry Lee, the seller of the car, had bought it directly from the Aston Martin Lagonda factory for $12,000 in 1969. Harry Yeaggy, the winning bidder from America, is only the second ex-factory owner of the Bond’s ride.

GAYDON, England — As expected, the Aston Martin Cygnet has been approved for production in 2011 and will be assembled at the company's manufacturing facility here.

The Cygnet, which is based on the Toyota iQ minicar, was officially unveiled earlier this year at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show, but Aston Martin has been actively promoting the car for 16 months.

The company said it would release details on pricing and specifications later this year. Press reports in Europe have speculated the Cygnet will be priced from $45,000-$75,000.
 


It is expected that the car will retain the Toyota 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine from the iQ, perhaps with some Aston Martin modifications.
