Custom Spectre Aston Martin destined for 007 film

5 October, 2015

Although Ian Fleming — the author of the James Bond books — originally put his hero into a Bentley, when it came to translating Fleming’s creation for the silver screen, after a few false starts 007 would become indelibly linked with Aston Martin following the appearance of that famous, Q Branch–modified DB5 in Goldfinger.

After a few silly forays into BMW ownership, Bond was finally reunited with Aston Martin and now, for the new 007 outing, Spectre, the bespoke British company has designed a new car specifically for the movie.

Super affordable supercar

The owner of this 1978 GTV, Stephen Perry, with only a skerrick of wishful thinking, says through half-closed eyes, “It is not dissimilar to the Maserati Khamsin”.
The nose is particularly trim and elegant from all angles, featuring cut-outs for the headlights echoing Alfa’s own exotic Montreal. The body is unfussy, lean with lots of glass, and the roofline shows a faint family resemblance — although on a much more angular car — to the curved waistline of the earlier 105s. The slightly hunched rear means there’s much more space in the rear seats than in the cramped rear of 105s — very much a 2+2 — and a generous boot. These more severe lines are not quite as endearing as the 105’s but they are still classy and clearly European.
