Aston Martin’s new baby has been named as One-77 and this new model is clearly intended for the very rich. That’s right: the price of this high-performance car is going to be about $1.8 million which just happens to be the same price range as the Bugatti Veyron.

I happened upon some facts and figures for Motor company advertising for 2006, for that year in the US alone manufacturers spent $6.7billion and that was only up until June. For that same period Toyota spent $651 million on break dancing transformer cars, and sexy models draped over some of their budget vehicles that were no where near as attractive as the models.

And that reminded me of an advertisement for Toyota that no overpaid Madison Avenue Ad exec would ever have thought of, and has possibly been responsible for more Toyota truck sales than any multi million dollar ad campaigns the company ever signed up for.

It would be every 12 year old pubescent boys dream come true, a flat out drag race between the world’s fastest production sports car and a state of the art military jet fighter. Well maybe it’s every pubescent 45 year old boys dream come true as well.

The British TV show Top Gear decided to put the Bugatti Veyron into the ultimate test of supercar power. It had been raced before against the Mclaren SLR, the Yamaha R1 and the Audi R8, but this is the real test against a 27,000 bhp killing machine.

The fighter chosen was the RAF’s Eurofighter Typhoon, a twin-engine canard-delta strike fighter multi-role combat aircraft that has proved it’s self by scrambling to intercept a Russian Tupolev Tu-95 invading British airspace.
