tures in No Time to Die . The movie sees James Bond uncover the car from his personal lock- up in London. To celebrate the James Bond debut of the range-topping Aston Martin DBS Super-legge- ra, a second unique 007 Edition has been crea- ted. Strictly limited to just 25 production cars available worldwide and featuring the same specification as the muscular DBS Superleggera featured in the film, the car has a suitably menacing road presence. The origi- nal Aston Martin DBS made its first Bond appearance in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (OHMSS) in 1969. To celebrate the 50th anni- versary of the film, Aston Martin created this
cably linked with him in the 1964 film, Goldfinger . 55 years after the last new DB5 rol- led elegantly off the production line at Aston Martin’s then global manufacturing base in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, work is ongoing there on a strictly limited number of new DB5 models. Marek Reichman, EVP & Chief Creative Officer, Aston Martin Lagonda: “Aston Martin’s relationship with James Bond spans decades and the DB5 is, without ques- tion, the most famous car in the world by vir- tue of its 50-plus year association. Working with EON Productions and Chris Corbould to build 25 of the DB5 Goldfinger Continuations was a truly unique project for everyone invol-
now sold-out special edition DBS Superleggera in 2019, inspired by the Olive Green DBS from OHMSS. Dubbed ‘the most famous car in the world’ and renowned as being among the most desi- rable and sought-after classic Aston Martin models, the DB5 has become a byword for timeless style and sports car desirability. Fewer than 900 saloon examples were built between 1963 and 1965, with by far the most famous of the original owners being the world’s best-known secret agent – James Bond – who first drove the car that is today inextri-
ved at Aston Martin.” Led by Aston Martin’s CEO, Tobias Moers, Valhalla is the latest and most significant pro- duct of the brand’s Project Horizon strategy to date; a car which will broaden the model port- folio to reflect Aston Martin’s presence in Formula One ® set best in class standards for performance, dynamics and driving pleasure, and drive the transition from internal combus- tion to hybrid to full electric powertrains.
