this is the newest star of the new Bond movie the aston martin db10 even if you're only casually acquainted with the half-century old spy series you probably know that bond and Aston are inseparable oh and I suppose that's completely inconspicuous sure there have been a few famous other double-oh-seven cars in the middle like Roger Moore's Lotus Esprit submarine or Pierce Brosnan c3 but it's really aston that started it all you might even be able to picture it in your head right now and impossibly dapper Sean Connery burning through the British countryside in a silver db5 casually popping up in the shift knob with the object button hidden inside that car is an icon the db10 looks beautiful it looks the part of a true Bond car but can it be as legendary as that DB vive was I came out to LA to drive it and find out for myself so Matt tell me about the DB 10 and what makes it so different for Aston Martin well I mean it makes the first big difference of course it was a car created especially of a bond which is whilst there have been a stands in Bond movies before you prep something one where we've created the car bespoke just for born so there's one big difference but it as well as you see in a movie and people hopefully like it it lays a foundation for the essence of that you will see in the next generation of cars that will come the db10 gracefully departs from the designs of the cars made before it present-day models like the vanquish the Vantage and the db9 but it still looks uniquely asked in the face of db10 it was inspired by a shark face the nose is the farthest pose point in the car which is quite an unusual design trait perhaps gives it a slightly more aggressive look than you would normally see on an Aston Martin but very bomb the initial discussions worse was September last year and we deliver the first car in April of this year Wow six months and that was from a sketch to a final car we build our cars in a very unique way we hand make all the sports cars we don't use robotics and we still use clay modelling as much as the db10 as a remade db5 for the modern era it's also entirely a car of its own just like Daniel Craig is a very different bond than Connery was Connery's car was smooth like the man himself Craig's ride is sharp and aggressive and even though the db10 was custom-made for Spectre there are only ten in existence is anybody gonna be able to own one of these ten db10 was built just for thorne so just the 10 examples one car will go to auction it goes without saying that a real-life bond probably wouldn't be involved in a high-speed chase with this car it's not that you couldn't do it there is a real v8 under that crazy hole filled hood after all ported from the v8 Vantage but in the extremely unlikely chance you come to own one you're probably going to want to take care of it I know I would at least but James Bond might feel differently
