The most recent collaboration between Aston Martin and EON Productions will see the fantastic Aston Martin DBS Superleggera as the latest James Bond inspired vehicle of choice and they will be on sale later this year, ladies and gentlemen.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of James Bond film, “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”, 50 On Her Majesty’s Secret Service DBS Superleggera special edition cars will be sold. Painted Olive Green to match the original 1969 Aston Martin DBS driven by James Bond in the movie, the new models will take the menacing road presence of the DBS Superleggera to a new level of brutish elegance.
According to Andy Palmer, Aston Martin Lagonda President and Group Chief Executive Officer, “Aston Martin is synonymous with James Bond and the DBS from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service has provided great inspiration to the team tasked with creating this very special edition. This new DBS Superleggera will be an extremely distinguished ‘brute in a suit’, designed to capture the essence of the iconic DBS from the 1969 film but with a 5.2 litre twin-turbo V12, 715bhp engine!”
715hp and 900Nm of gut-wrenching torque are coupled with all the visual works which include carbon fibre goodies and those sexy diamond turned forged wheels. Its Olive Green colourway is also finished in a very Bond-like style that blends perfectly with its pure black leather and grey Alcantra interior finish.
The 50 owners of this James Bond Special Edition will have the option to select a bespoke designed drinks case which fits perfectly into the boot space. In keeping with the theme, this accessory is the perfect complement to the exhibition worthy ‘Super GT’. The black drinks case opens via the bright metal clasp to reveal the matching red felt lined interior, with space for two bottles of champagne and four champagne flutes.
Aston Martin Vice President & Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman said: “Creating a James Bond special edition is always an exciting challenge as we work to create a car that embodies the legend of James Bond, and the original movie car. The DBS Superleggera is a muscular car that commands attention, but the Olive Green gives it a subtlety that belies the beast beneath.”
Fancy getting one for yourself? Each model will set you back around £300,007, which is almost RM1.6 million. Delivery will commence at the end of 2019. The question now is whether you like to be shaken or stirred with that monstrous V12 under the hood.
