Aston Martin has unveiled a stunning special edition DB12 Goldfinger Edition to commemorate its legendary partnership with the James Bond franchise. This exclusive model celebrates 60 years of the iconic collaboration between Aston Martin and the world’s most famous spy. The new DB12 is packed with nods to Bond’s cinematic legacy, drawing inspiration from the classic Goldfinger film, the DB12 stands as a stylish tribute to this enduring legacy.
The ultra-luxury Super Tourer DB12 gets the ultimate 007 makeovers through Aston Martin's bespoke personalisation service, Q by Aston Martin. To celebrate 60 years of the iconic partnership, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition will be limited to just 60 cars. The connection between Aston Martin and James Bond dates back to 1964, when the legendary DB5 made its silver-screen debut in Goldfinger, becoming one of the most recognizable and celebrated cars in cinematic history—and an enduring symbol of the "DB" range.
The DB12 Goldfinger Edition promises to immerse drivers in the James Bond experience with a host of subtle nods to Goldfinger. Finished in the same sleek Silver Birch paint as the iconic DB5 from the film, the car features striking 21-inch multi-spoke wheels in a unique silver tone with a diamond-cut finish, complemented by black brake callipers and bespoke Goldfinger accents. A special silver Aston Martin logo, finished in black enamel, adds a distinct touch.
Inside, the cabin exudes ultra-luxury. The leather Sports Plus seats are finished in the classic DB5 fluted style with a sophisticated Prince of Wales check perforation pattern. Elevating the interior even further are 18k gold-plated accents, including a notched gear selector inspired by Bond’s golden tracking device from the film.
Thoughtful details are sprinkled throughout the car to delight any Bond fan. One standout is the ‘eight of hearts’ embroidered on the driver’s sun visor, a nod to the playing card from the memorable Miami pool scene in Goldfinger. These subtle touches make this special edition a true tribute to James Bond’s legacy.
The DB12 Goldfinger Edition will come with an exclusive array of gifts, adding to the allure of this special car. Owners will receive a custom car cover and a bespoke key presentation box featuring a unique Goldfinger livery. For those who appreciate classic films, especially James Bond fans, the gifts get even more intriguing. Included is a silver brooch made from a section of 35mm film from the iconic Furka Pass scene in Goldfinger. It's a perfect touch for Bond enthusiasts and film aficionados, bringing a bit of cinematic history home with this iconic car.
The Aston Martin DB12 not only delivers ultimate luxury and style but also exceptional performance, seamlessly blending both in this iconic DB model. Powered by a 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine, it produces an impressive 680 PS and 800 Nm of torque. With its advanced suspension system, the DB12 offers a thrilling driving experience, sprinting from 0-62 mph in just 3.6 seconds and reaching a top speed of 202 mph. This perfect fusion of elegance and power makes the DB12 a true standout in the world of high-performance luxury cars.
The DB12 marks the debut of Aston Martin’s next generation of sports cars, showcasing the marque's newly designed and developed in-house infotainment system. This state-of-the-art technology strikes a perfect balance between modern touchscreen controls and physical switches, offering a user-friendly and engaging experience.
Aston Martin and James Bond enthusiasts will recall this isn't the brand’s first nod to Goldfinger—in 2020, they launched a limited DB5 Goldfinger Continuation model. However, the DB12 is set to appeal to a broader audience, largely due to the fact that, unlike its predecessor, it is fully road legal.
