Only 10 units were produced for the film, hand-built by Aston Martin’s team of designers, engineers, and craftsmen. The DB10 up for auction is one of two that was not modified for the film. Christie’s claims it’s the only DB10 that’s been released for sale to the public and that it includes a plaque signed by Daniel Craig himself.

All proceeds from the DB10 sale will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.

The “Bond” Inspired Aston Martin Vantage

Aston Martin has recently confirmed that the design of the DB10 sports car (used exclusively for the latest James Bond film, Spectre) will inspire the next-generation Aston Martin Vantage.

Consequently, the new Aston Martin Vantage will share more similarities with the DB10 than the company’s latest new sports car, the DB11, will. With that being said, the company’s chief executive Andy Palmer said that styling cues from the DB10 will be visible throughout the British automaker’s next-generation range of vehicles.

“You’ll see the DNA for sure. It’s not the same—the DB10 was done exclusively for Bond. But you will see that ‘predator’ type look going forwards. The best way I can express it is that my mother will be able to tell the difference.”

Details about the next-generation Vantage remain undisclosed, but many believe there’s a good chance it will feature a turbocharged engine.

An Aston Martin will again be featured in the upcoming James Bond film, “Spectre.” The secret agent will be getting something considerably newer than the DB5 used in “Skyfall.” The Gaydon-based company – and EON Productions – revealed the new Aston Martin DB10 at the 007 stage recently at Pinewood Studios.

Aston is celebrating 50 years with the 007 franchise, the DB10 was developed specifically for the film, and it was built in-house by the company.. Aston’s chief creative officer, Marek Reichman, worked closely with film director, Sam Mendes, “to create the ultimate car for the world’s most famous spy.” Production of the DB10 will be limited to 10 cars, all for the movie and the DB10’s lines preview the next round of production Astons.
