Here's a quote from Multimatic's website:
"The DSSV damping technology was utilised by Newman-Haas Racing in Champ Cars to win the 2002 title with Cristiano da Matta and the 2004 crown with Sebastien Bourdais. Last year's British Formula 3 champion, Nelson Piquet Jr. also utilised the new DSSV damper to take the championship.
But this new technology is not just confined to open wheel racing. The DSSV Technology has also been used in sportscar racing with Multimatic winning the Daytona Prototype class at the 2003 Rolex 24 at Daytona and Panoz Motor Sport winning the 2002 ALMS Grand Prix of Washington DC.
Previously only available through exclusive arrangements, the DSSV dampers presented at AutoSport International provide significant performance and operational gains over conventional damping technology and eliminates the use of shims traditionally used in motorsports dampers.
DSSV provides pure damping characteristics, eliminates cavitation and significantly minimises temperature sensitivity in a modular design which is suited to an extensive variety of motorsport applications."

That Aston Martin the One-77 was never a production car. It was to be, however it was not.
