Aston Martin News:James Bond, Your Aston Martin is Ready

[William Maley]

---

Over the course of his long and fictitious career in espionage, secret agent James Bond has driven a wide variety of vehicles. But he is synonymous with Aston Martin. In many of the films, Bond can be seen driving in a DB5, V8 Vantage, DB7, and most recently, the DBS. But the next James Bond film will feature a new Aston Martin.

Called the DB10, the vehicle will star along side Daniel Craig in the upcoming Spectre. Aston Martin didn't release any technical details about the vehicle, but did go into some detail about the design which breaks away somewhat from the current design language that has been a part of the company for awhile. Working with EON Productions – the studio responsible for the Bond films – Aston Martin's design team led by Marek Reichman created a new shape that is similar in size to the current V8 Vantage.

"In the same year that we celebrate our 50-year relationship with 007, it seems doubly fitting that today we unveiled this wonderful new sports car created especially for James Bond. To be partnering once again with EON Productions is great news for this company and for everyone around the world that loves to see Bond at the wheel of an Aston Martin. I'm incredibly proud of everyone in the team at Gaydon who have brought this special project from concept to reality," said Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer.

Aston Martin will be building ten of these special models. You'll be able to see the DB10 in action when Spectre releases next November.

Led by Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, the design team worked closely with the film's director, Sam Mendes, to create the ultimate car for the world's most famous spy.

Celebrating the great British brand's half century with Bond, which started with the iconic DB5, the DB10 gives a glimpse to the future design direction for the next generation of Aston Martins.

I wonder what his rumored foe will be driving.  It is rumored to be Andrew Scott who became internationally famous for his protrayal of Jim Moriarty in the Sherlock series. (of which I am a huge fan!)

I wonder if Monica Bellucci will be a "no-cost" option if you buy the car.

I'd upload a picture of her, but my choices might be NSFW.

I would have to agree with you. I will take her with the car too and my mind is telling me it would not be safe for viewing either.

 

Course I could see her dressed like this for the Bond Movie! Wonder if she will be good or bad?

Something so seductive, exotic, and voluptuous...and then there is the DB10.

Good or Bad; she is the most stunning woman on this planet.

I can't wait for the movie to come out.
