The car is just gorgeous with those tinted windows and reflections of downtown London. Wow.

this is Paris, not London...i think this is rue de la paix just north of place vendome...

I thought it was automatic, or can you choose?

I believe the one 77 is a single clutch semi auto so that would be it. The clutch is automated and is shifted through the touch of a paddle with no clutch pedal. Stalling can occur quite often in these actually. and, it can be switched to a full automatic at the touch of a button

just landed on Yahoo!

Watch a $1.7 million Aston Martin One-77 repeatedly stall on the street - Yahoo! Autos

That's pretty embarrassing. Is this common with these types of transmissions or is this just an Aston thing? Never heard of this before..

The more he stalled the more time I get to stare at this beauty. Looks absolutely amazing in black.
