Aston Martin unveils James Bond-inspired car

Aston Martin has unveiled a new special edition to celebrate the 50th anniversary of James Bond film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

The luxury car maker has created the limited-edition DBS Superleggera model to mark the film's release in 1969 and will be available from the fourth quarter of 2019.

The car has been developed through a collaboration between the listed manufacturer and EON Productions, the company that produces the James Bond films with Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios.

Only 50 models will be sold and will be painted Olive Green to match the original 1969 Aston Martin DBS driven by James Bond in the movie.

Andy Palmer, Aston Martin Lagonda president and group chief executive, said: "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."

Vice president and chief creative officer Marek Reichman added: "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."
 
Each of cars will retail at £300,007.00.

Aston Martin headquartered in Warwickshire.
