Watch 007’s new Aston Martin jump, drift, and barbecue baddies in latest trailer

Few movie relationships have lasted as long as the one between James Bond as his trusted Aston Martin. And for the latest iteration of the franchise, Spectre, Bond utilizes a gorgeous fire-spitting, sideways-sliding, show-jumping Aston Martin DB10. Check it all out in the hot-off-the-press film trailer below:

First unveiled at the film’s press launch late last year in London, the DB10 is a one-off edition made specifically for the film franchise. This is a shame, because it stands as one of the prettiest cars to adorn the famous Aston Martin badge in quite some time. But don’t get too sad; Aston Martin have stated that elements of the DB10 give us “a glimpse to the future design direction for the next generation of Aston Martins”.

While details on the car are thin on the ground, we can probably assume that the rear-mounted flame-thrower will not make it to any production versions …

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.
