Mystery buyer snaps up ten of Aston Martin's One-77 hypercar

One man's £12m order makes supercar even more difficult to find - snapping up 13 percent of the production run.

Aston Martin One-77

Getting your hands on a One-77 just got a lot harder! British firm Aston Martin is only making 77 of its limited run One-77 hypercar, but that hasn’t stopped a mystery buyer from snapping up ten of them.

The customer, who is believed to be of Middle Eastern origin, has specified a different colour scheme and cabin trim for each car. His huge order accounts for 13% of the total production run, and comes to an eye-watering total bill of £12million.

The mysterious figure will also be allowed to tailor each car's individual performance, as owners get the chance to work alongside Aston engineers to ensure that the set-up is exactly to their taste.

The One-77 was revealed at Geneva last year by the Gaydon-based firm, and Aston says that is is close to being a sell-out, with 65 of its 7.3-litre V12-powered hypercars  now spoken for.

shame!!

what a waste of money!!!
but then again i 'm sure he who ordered 10 of them has not even worked an hour in his life to know the value of the money.
no doubt they are 'blood money' and its a shame in todays world
when people (and probably his people too) are starving.

One Lucky B****d! (LOL)

C'mon...what can I say. This guy or girl is one lucky (you know). Seriously...'10'. Actually...I think 10 would be boring, even if they were in different colours...and the fact they were limited. I'd rather have 10 different types of cars (that seems more exciting). Anyway...

I think they are for an investment

Come on people, get with the plan this guy has bought ten, not for himself but as an investment. Aston are only making 77, he has bought 13% of them. So when there are none left to buy he will up the price! It's pure ecconomics but also risky, he may end up selling them for a loss, however, very unlikely. This is probably why he is wealthy. Don't assume it is down to oil, this guy may have worked up from nothing. Even if it is down to oil, this is still his risk. Probably one he can afford to take.

A couple of other theories; bought for members of his family, bought for a hypercar rental club or you are right and he has more money than sense?
