At a recent photo-op for the new James Bond flick "Spectre," the film's director Sam Mendes unveils the new Aston Martin DB-10, which co-starred in the about to be released (November 6) thriller. |
Yesterday’s Pillar to Post blog featured a glimpse of the beautiful co-stars of the new upcoming James
Bond epic “Spectre” due in theatres November 6.
Yes, Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux are stunning, but what about the
cars? What’s in store for car buffs,
especially the latest in hero and villain wheels?
As studio
stills show Aston Martin has delivered on cue its custom-made (only 10
produced) DB-10 coupe. The classic
Bondmobiles are property of EON Productions, the producers of the James Bond
franchise.
Obviously,
James will be behind the wheel of the sleek Aston Martin, however, it won’t be
the only hot car on the set. Filmed in
Rome, the DB-10 went one-on-one with the villain’s Jaguar CX75. Not too shabby. Sadly, the Jag CX75 was shut down in
2013. Try E-Bay.
Meanwhile,
“Spectre” Director Sam Mendes told film media, "I love the idea of this
fantastic car being in a one-on-one battle with another incredible car from
Jaguar, which is similarly extraordinary," said Spectre director Sam
Mendes in a statement. "So it's a cat-and-mouse game through the nighttime
streets of Rome, at great speed, between two of the fastest cars in the
world."
Meanwhile in Rome, here's a patented James Bond car chase scene from "Spectre" showing two of the world's fastest street machines in action, the Jaguar CX75 (left) and Aston Martin's DB-10. |
Aston
Martin's 50-year relationship with 007 is the foundation for several iconic
Bond movie cars, including the Aston Martin DB5 in “Goldfinger.”
Alas, for
purists of an All-Brit Aston Martin, the DB-10 is the last concept car to boast
the existing V-8 Vantage package. Future
Aston Martin’s will be built around new Mercedes AMG engines.
