The subwoofer and woofer boxes of the special sound system are integrated into the carbon fiber body structure of the car. The solid blocks of aluminum of the sound system is able to deliver a power of 1000 watts and 750 watts of undistorted sound. The amplification of the woofer power is produced by the proprietary ICE power technology of Bang & Olufsen.

Brakes

The One-77 uses a sophisticated brake technology – the Carbon Ceramic Matrix. The calipers are re-fabricated so that the brake pads will give-off minimal heat to the brake fluid. The disc is enhanced so that there is great contact between the brake pads and the face of the disc. This maximum contact will ensure the power of the car in stopping.

The Competition

Since Aston Martin One-77 has a high price, few cars can only be compared to it. One is Bugatti Veyron. Surely, Veyron is more powerful and packed with more advanced technology but in terms of luxury, One-77 is much better than Veyron. When compared to a C9 Pagani, One-77 is still ahead when it comes to luxury.

In the luxurious world of supercars, Aston Martin is the number one producer of sophisticated and elegant cars. One-77 has a classy style combined with the subtle touch of modernism.
