It's not every day you get the chance to get behind 007's car. Yes, this is James Bond's latest set of wheels, the Aston Martin DB10 and it's certainly a looker! Built for the film Spectre, it may have a full suite of gadgets and gizmos from Q branch, but we wanted to put it to the Carbuyer test and see how it stacks up. Watch the video and find out what it's like!
The Aston Martin V12 Speedster has made its global debut, with just 88 examples of this puristic limited-edition model set to hit the road.Created by luxury British marque's bespoke customisation service 'Q by Aston Martin', the Aston Martin V12 Speedster is a truly visceral driver's car that draws inspiration from both the brand's rich racing history and aeronautical design. The example vahicle was showcased in a conceptual F/A-18 livery, also curated by the same artisans.Aston Martin Lagonda President and Group CEO, Dr Andy Palmer said: "It makes me enormously proud to reveal Aston Martin's latest, most exciting special model today. The V12 Speedster is an incredible demonstration of the breadth of capability and determination from the 'Q by Aston Martin' team, who have worked tirelessly to create this stunning, two-seat sports car aimed at our most demanding and enthusiastic customers."Conceived a little over 12 months ago, the V12 Speedster has undergone an intensive development programme, going from drawing board to production reality within that short period. Demonstrating the skills and meticulous planning of 'Q by Aston Martin' and Aston Martin Design, the V12 Speedster is a living show car, underlining the company's commitment to deliver customers a stunning driver's car, using the engineering ingenuity and advanced materials evident throughout the entire Aston Martin range.Utilising Aston Martin's latest bonded aluminium architecture, the V12 Speedster utilises elements from both the DBS Superleggera and Vantage model lines to create its own unique platform. With independent double wishbone front, and multi-link rear suspension with coil springs and adaptive damping offering Sport, Sport+ and Track modes, the V12 Speedster also benefits from standard 21-inch forged centre lock alloy wheels. Carbon Ceramic Brakes of 410mm on the front axle and 360mm at the rear are also standard equipment.
Finally here is a fully functioning Aston Martin Valkyrie complete with V12 engine and hybrid drive train! The Aston Martin Valkyrie Hypercar is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 engine developed by Cosworth and in conjunction with RedBull Racing - the engine alone develops 1000bhp making it the most powerful naturally aspirated engine ever to make it to a production road car...and that's before the 900nm of hybrid torque and the 11,100 RPM rev limit.
