It has been reported over at Autosport that Aston Martin Racing intends to build six of its next Le Mans prototypes for collectors and customer teams over the next two years.

Aston Martin Racing haven’t sold any bespoke prototypes since 1989, and this is a great opportunity for collectors and fans all around the world.

David Richards, chairman of Prodrive and Aston Martin Racing, said last week:

A new Aston P1 would be greenlit if AMR was sure its V12, gasoline-powered car was competitive with diesel-powered ones, like those from Audi and Peugeot. Autosport says AMR has yet to confirm the bespoke-car plan, but the Jota team did announce a multiyear deal with Aston some say will bring it into the prototype ranks in 2012.

The new Aston Martin One-77, Britain’s most expensive car ever, is now nearly the fastest ever. The One-77 has already topped 220 mph. The 220 mph was achieved in dry but also windy conditions.

If not for the £1.25 million price tag (just shy of $2M Yankee bucks), we’d be losing sleep. Full press release after the jump.

A lot of car heads from all over the world have been in Frankfurt recently for their annual auto show. This year one of the stand out cars was the Cyrus from Mansory.

Mansory released images of Cyrus to show what the car would look like on the road. Above is our favourite! Is $600,000ish too much to spend on top of a DB9’s based price for all that baked plastic goodness?
