Aston Martin DB10 To Take Lead Role In Next James Bond Movie

A James Bond movie would not be complete without the appearance of an Aston Martin being driven at great speed and with much skill by the hero of the movie – 007 himself. These cars also demonstrate the many extra gadgets not found on a production Aston Martin!

The most famous of all is the Aston Martin DB5 (pictured below with Daniel Craig) that has been seen in six of the Bond films – Goldfinger, Thunderball, Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale and Skyfall. Back in October 2010, it was sold to a car collector for $4.6 million and included such extras as a revolving front number plate, a bullet shield at the rear and gun barrels that came out of the front indicator lights.

The Aston Martin DBS made an appearance in four scenes of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante was in The Living Daylights and was equipped with gadgets like missiles, spike-producing tyres and rockets. Die Another Day featured an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish with machine guns, rockets and an ejector seat in the passenger seat which the DB5 had also been equipped with.

Anyway, a few days ago, the name of the next James Bond movie was revealed – SPECTRE . It is due to be released on the 6th November 2015 – so, less than ten months to wait for all you diehard Bond fans. Aston Martin and James Bond have been associated together for 50 years this year.

At the same time, the cinema world was introduced to the leading cast member. No, not 007 but a new Aston Martin DB10 (see below).
