Few car brands have such a connection with a movie character like Aston Martin and the world’s most famous secret agent James Bond 007. The collaboration began in 1964 with the DB5 model that appeared in the movie “Goldfinger”, and now the British brand has revealed a car dedicated to this movie, Aston Martin DB12 Goldfinger Edition.
The Aston Martin DB12 Goldfinger is a special edition with a silver body, and it is decorated with some special features such as the Goldfinger logo and gold-plated interior details. There are also some symbols related to the film such as the embroidered eight of hearts playing card on the sun visor which refers to the playing card seen in the last draw during a scene in the film.
The car that appeared in 1964 (the Aston Martin DB5) was equipped with browning machine guns that popped out from under the front turn signal, a bulletproof rear window shield, a smoke generator, a passenger ejection seat, a triple registration that could be rotated as needed and other accessories .
The DB12 Goldfinger will be powered by a 4.0-L twin-turbo V8 engine with 670 hp (493 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800Nm) of torque. Only 60 units will be produced to mark 60 years since the premiere of “Goldfinger”. Each owner will also receive special champagne with four exclusive Bollinger 007 glasses, a Globe-Troter bag, a special magazine and other special gifts. The price has not been announced.
