The debut of DB10 in the latest film continues a more than 50-year partnership between Bond and Aston Martin dating back to the iconic Aston Martin DB5 in the 1964 film Goldfinger.

 

Aston Martin CEO, Dr Andy Palmer, said: “It was a pure delight to see the DB10 put to such spectacular use on the big screen.

Spectre, the 24th James Bond film and the 12th to feature an Aston Martin sports car, went on general release in cinemas across the UK yesterday to coincide with the world premiere in London.
