Aston Martin DB10

The Aston Martin DB10 is a bespoke two-door coupé created for the James Bond film Spectre by the British car manufacturer Aston Martin.

The car was unveiled by Sam Mendes and Barbara Broccoli, the director and producer of Spectre, the 24th James Bond film from Eon Productions. The unveiling took place as part of the official press launch of the film on the 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios, near London, on 4 December 2014.  Mendes introduced the car as "the first cast member".  According to the film's producers, Eon Productions, the film will feature the Aston Martin DB10 as its starring car. This continues the tradition, with Aston Martins having featured in several 007 films (despite Bond's having driven Bentley cars in the novels and having driven other makes, including Lotus and BMW cars, in earlier films).

Shortly after the unveiling ceremony in Pinewood Studios, Aston Martin also took part in the launch of the Bond in Motion exhibition at the London Film Museum in Covent Garden, London. The car company were celebrating their fifty-year partnership with Bond films franchise, which started with the DB5 being used in the 1964 film Goldfinger.

The DB10 design was led by Aston Martin's chief creative officer Marek Reichman, with the film's director Mendes working closely with the team. The car was developed specifically for the film and ten units will be hand-built in-house by the company's design and engineering teams in Gaydon.  Aston Martin stated that "the DB10 gives a glimpse to the future design direction for the next generation of Aston Martins."

As of December 2014, Aston Martin had released few of the technical details of the car, but they have revealed that it will feature the company's 6-speed manual transmission unit that is used on their V8-engined cars. The car's chassis is based on a modified version of the VH Platform that underpins the V8 Vantage. However the DB10 has a longer wheelbase and is nearly as wide as the One-77. It is powered by Aston Martin’s 4.7 litre V8 engine.

The Aston Martin was caught on video while being filmed at Blenheim Palace on 11 February 2015. Two versions were seen – the standard with vehicle registration DB10 AGB, and an adapted version with driver rig atop the vehicle.
