I'm a life-long Aston lover but I'm sorry, that is ugly.

Looks like an F-Type with a wider rear track.

Both look stunning, but Maserati do the 'coupe' better



This is what the bond villan should drive shoot

Whilst we are doing "looky like-ies", hows about the car it's based on:


AMG GT




DB10

Can't say I'm a huge fan of the front end, the proportions and positioning of things like the lights look wrong to me.

Obviously their finances must be healthier than they seem if they can afford to be wasting money and resources on this; a little different from the usual trick of handing over a bunch of pre-production scrap plus an extra shiny example of the latest model for closeups.

That model is just a reskinned Jaguar F type hence the same rear glass, panels a doors etc.

The real thing will looo different. Aston and Jaguar are independant of each other now. The car may be based on the new SLS GT replacement.

It's nice and clean, as Astons should be IMO (although the DBS has certainly grown on me over the years; must be the Le Mans soundtrack). The front lights are a bit small and mean, a bit piggy, but huge lights don't look good either.

It's blatantly a reskinned F Type; I doubt we'll see its interior as a result. I'm sure the production version will use a biturbo AMG V12 (Oh YES!) or V8 (oh... yeah I suppose) and probably be based upon the AMG GT platform instead of a Jag. Expect the looks to change, especially at the rear. Whether this 007 edition will look the way it does here in the movie, or if it will reflect the production car, is anybody's guess at this point...

Still, great to see Aston return to Bond, and with the return of SPECTRE, and Cristoph Waltz (and Bellucci), this is looking promising.

It's being shot on film too I believe, not digital.

Definitely not a Merc?

Is that a very confidently stated guess? All those part you list look similar, but not the same.

I'm very surprised this car hasn't got the trademark Aston 'pinched' grill.

I think this points to a positive future direction, they will have the latest engines, they have kept the looks intact whilst belatedly moving away from the previous formula and soon they will have the Bond kudos. Will be ultra desirable I reckon.

Aston and Jags have always looked very similar, just history repeating itself.

It does have that slight 'tiger shark' sort of look.

Of Monica Belluci? Don't think she's done that kind of film......
I beg to differ - Irreversible (from 2002)

Be warned - it's definitely NSFW and you'll probably need a strong constitution too.

I am making an educated guess. If we see some interior shots, I guess we'll know properly.

Looks like a slightly more angular T350 fused with the F Type rear. Uninspired.

Yes I'd have one.

Ferrari 456 did spring to mind when I saw the DB10. Hideous gaping front on the A-M. What with this and the new Audi concept, I do wonder if the next generation of cars is just going to be a 9 foot wide radiator grille with an engine and seats strapped to it.

Not exactly educated when the doors, glass and pretty much every panel is completely different.
