This bizarre 1970s hypercar is the rarest Aston Martin in the whole world

This bizarre 1970s hypercar is the rarest Aston Martin in the whole world.

The unique gull-wing doored vehicle was ahead of its time and much resembles the modern Cybertruck.

But, despite plans for quite a few to be produced – only one made it out into the world.

And it has lived quite the eventful life, and was even treated to a facelift a few years ago.

Aston Martin has created some of the most impressive cars in the world.

From the DBS to the Valkyrie, the cars under the brand’s belt are amazing.

For example, the manufacturer just launched a one-off DB12 Volante that’s a tribute to Florida.

Plus, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition is Aston Martin’s love letter to the James Bond saga.

But there’s one model that not a lot of people actually know a whole lot about.

The Bulldog is the rarest Aston Martin in the world – and it’s a ’70s hypercar marvel.

Only one was ever produced, back in 1979.

“Only one was ever built, and its futuristic design and high-performance engine helped it become the fastest car on the road when it reached a record-breaking 192MPH (308KMH),” the BBC explained.

The design of the world’s rarest Aston Martin was sleek and impressive, with gull-wing doors and a unique wedge-shaped exterior, it’s certainly hard to forget.

“Twin Turbos adorned the 5.3L V8 producing a mighty 650HP – enough for 0-60MPH in under 5 seconds and onto a verified maximum speed of 192MPH,” Supercar World expanded.

The car was restored to its former glory in 2021, with the car proving to be even more impressive than ever before.

It reportedly underwent a long two-year restoration, with the original powerhouse of the V8 engine being rebuilt and upgraded to 5.7 litres. ]

Plus, the addition of turbochargers meant the car was more powerful than ever before.

The car’s name carries a wholesome story too – it was named the ‘Bulldog’ after an aeroplane flown by the man in charge at the time – managing director Alan Curtis, who also flew the Scottish Aviation Bulldog plane.

It was designed by William Towns, whose clever work, along with the restoration, helped the hypercar smash a speed target set back in the ’70s.

Aston Martin driver and Le Mans winner Darren Turner sat in the driver’s seat at a former Scottish NATO base, and managed to soar to 200MPH in 2023.

Not bad for a one-off in its 40s.
