Bonds "NEW" Aston
Discussion

Looks alright but it's not as good looking as any of the current models.
Surely it would have made more sense for Bond to drive a Vanquish or an other current production model? Help raise sales for that instead of a car no one can buy?
But by the time the film is out the Vanquish will be almost at the end of production and the new Vantage/DB9 replacement will be imminent.Surely it would have made more sense for Bond to drive a Vanquish or an other current production model?

AML PR deserves an award for so spectacularly f****ing up every opportunity to clarify and instead, just confuse at every opportunity
This is a car they will only build 10 of, that hints at vantage replacement. OK, that bit I just about get (I understand it, not sure I entirely agree it's sensible)
The problem I have is with this statement 'only 10 will be built'
tell me who understands this exchange between a tweeter & Andy Palmer
AP : The DB10 is born. Strictly created for James Bond and strictly limited to 10 cars only. The most exclusive DB ever
JM: Do you mean 10 cars for sale or 10 cars for James Bond to wreck during filming?
AP; 10 cars total run - Lets hope James doesn't wreck them all!
So does that mean some will be for sale, or not ?

At least it's got us all talking !!! Just phoned my dealer - he knows nothing about it and neither does his contact at Gaydon. I was at AM on Tuesday and was told nothing new for a couple of years but they did say a raft of limited production run cars between now and all new models. So this may be a just a DB9 with a new body kit?

But you still can't buy the car that's getting all the publicity. They should have waited until the new model was out instead of releasing this 1 off then in my opinion. LordBretSinclair said:
...and a bit of Ferrari F12 at the front end 
That's what I thought at first glance.I know that you all like my input on matters such as this so....
Difficult to tell from these pics however...
Not too keen on the more angular design ,I preferred the muscular look of the One77 .
If they were going to go this way they should have been bolder and gone the whole hog as with the DP-100 ( modified of course for George ).
As it is it lacks the wow factor.
Maserati are bringing out the Alfieri in 2016 and that looks better than this.
The colour is a bit meh as well and doesn't help.

2. They tell Eon productions they don't have a car for the film and that they should go find a rival to appear in it
Personally I think going for a non-production prototype is better than either of those 2 (albeit clearly not ideal).
My question though is "does this rule out the new model being called the DB10?". Marek has previously said he thought they should go up by more than 1 number from the DB9 to show that its a big leap forward. So does that mean the next production V12 will be a DB11 or DB12?

So that looks like you're suggesting one of two things:
1. AML ask Eon productions to delay the filming of the next Bond film until sometime in mid-2016 when a new car is launched
2. They tell Eon productions they don't have a car for the film and that they should go find a rival to appear in it

No..... I think they should have given him a Vanquish... If the film is getting released next year the Vanquish isnt going to be replaced by then. 1. AML ask Eon productions to delay the filming of the next Bond film until sometime in mid-2016 when a new car is launched
