James Bond’s Aston Martin DBS Superleggera revealed
Beguiling V12 coupe commemorates 50th anniversary of Bond flickAston Martin has revealed details of a special-edition DBS Superleggera that celebrates 50 years of the James Bond flick, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
Shown in the UK overnight, the olive green special pays homage to the original 1969 Aston Martin DBS featured in the movie, and is strictly limited to 50 examples.
Using the beguiling DBS Superleggera as its donor car, the Bond-inspired machine boasts a carbon-fibre splitter, aero blade and unique diamond turned and forged wheels.
A bespoke metal grille featuring six bright horizontal vanes adorns the front, replicating that used on the original DBS.
Complementing the olive green exterior are body-coloured cantrails and roof.
On the inside, the DBS Superleggera is trimmed in pure black leather and accented by grey blend Alcantra, as in the original 1969 DBS. The cockpit is accented in red, inspired by the red trimmed glovebox in the original car, which held 007’s telescopic-sight rifle.
The modern version is untouched under the bonnet, employing the same 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 with 533 and 900Nm.
The sixth James Bond instalment famously told the story of Bond villain ‘Blofeld’ and his ongoing attempts to hold the world to ransom.
The 50 owners of this James Bond Special Edition will have the option to select a bespoke drinks case, which opens via a bright metal clasp to reveal the matching red felt lined interior, with space for two bottles of champagne and four champagne flutes.
