Aston Martin built 10 DB10s for the James Bond film Spectre. The model was created specifically for the film rather than being a regular production Aston Martin available to ordinary customers.
The DB10 was developed by Aston Martin’s design and engineering teams at Gaydon, with design leadership from chief creative officer Marek Reichman. Its styling was based on an original concept by designer Sam Holgate and was intended to preview the company’s future design direction.
Eight of the 10 hand-built cars appeared in Spectre, while the other two were made for promotional and exhibition purposes. The cars used a modified VH Generation II platform, a 4.7-litre AM14 V8 and a six-speed manual transmission.
The DB10 is often confused with the Vantage because it shares engineering links with that model, but it was not simply a rebadged Vantage. Nor should its production figure be confused with the number of cars seen on screen: only 10 DB10s were made in total.
