Aw... what a beauty!!!!! When the DB5 is overrated, the 6 is by far the most underrated!

the electric one if for tanner

CommanderRoss

@Mrcoggins too much a commercial if you ask me. Nice car, in a way. Still quite boring I'm afraid. I'll stick to my own estate:


Yep, saw AM is going electric too. Wonder if they're any good. Expected the design to be more DB11 though.

I read about & saw it too. Have you heard now you get a V8 DB11 as option. I have both. V8 & V12.

Yes the Alfa 156 never had the estate car
Used to drive a red 156 2liter twinspark luso cloverleaf that was a fun car to drive bit twichey in the wet though.

CommanderRoss

@Mrcoggins yes, found that out the hard way (backwards off the highway into the railings). Mine is dark blue. Interesting to note you also found it twitchey in the wet. Wonder why that is.

Aston Martin is showing Their Vanquish Zagato Speedster in Auto eXpress.
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/aston-martin/vanquish/100458/aston-martin-vanquish-zagato-speedster-unleashed
Yes the Vanquish version. I won't bet it will be James Bond next car but I hope it star in any other movie. It a 2 seater for with Volante or both might be 2 seater coupe.

CommanderRoss

They are, both, stunningly beautiful! I lova Astons anyway but when Zagato enter, they always make them so much more special. Increadeable. No, I don't think Bond will drive one (they'd probably use all 28 for the filming in the first place if Bond did). And I don't think it'll end up in a movie, other then a Gone in 60 seconds remake or something similar.

Would be fantastic though...

I leave that to you all Aston Martin Fans if Excellent or not.

As you all might know, Dutch Bond fans are as passionate as the British neighbors. Hence the former editor-in-chief of Dutch fanclub James Bond Nederland (He quit only a few weeks ago, the wonderful talented Joey Verseput took over. But thanks to Jorrit I'm writing for James Bond Nederland now. I owe him a lot!) did a wonderful car review of the Aston Martin DB11. In a tour from Germany to The Netherlands we were able to fully test this wonderful machine. You can read everything on the Dutch sister-website of MI6-HQ.com: http://www.jamesbond.nl

But most importantly, here is the full review, presented by van der Valk......JORRIT van der Valk :-). And the video? All made by the rockstars of James Bond Nederland! Enjoy guys and gals:

Anyone did see the film ;-)?

Can I just say one thing? The DB11 start makes me shiver and cry all at the same time. So gorgeous.

I also love Jorrit's Union Flag shoes. I haven't a clue what he's saying except when he mentions Bond titles and AM models. But I don't care. The DB11 is so pretty.

Gustav_Graves

Cool eh @PropertyOfALady

Impressive little film. Bond would never choose red though!

Aston Martin has release the V8 version of the DB11. We all know the current model V8/V12 Vantage. Now this. I have both V8 DB11 & V12 DB11. I got my Scale1:43 DB11 TSM Model car company last month August.

CommanderRoss

funny how they come up with all that exhaust gibberish. As if anyone opting for an AM will go like 'erm, you know what, the CO2 emission on the V8 is lower, I'll go for that one.' No matter though, love the car, with V8 or V12 (allthough I'd prefer the V12 obviously).

Gerard

Yesterday, when I was in Paris (Place Cambronne, to be precise), I saw an Aston Martin DB 5. But it wasn't a Silver Birch one. Rather a British Racing Green one. Still...

ClarkDevlin

British racing green Aston Martin DB4 Zagato or a regular DB5 are winners! Always are!

PropertyOfALady

What is the difference between the DB4GT Zagato and a regular one? Is it strictly looks, or performance too? I never have known.

CommanderRoss

The DB4 Zagato also had an even more powerful engine.

@Gerard I don't care what colour it is, I just love that car!Just beautiful!

Agent7F

They unveiled The Convertible DB11 Volante but only available on with the V8 twin turbo. They V12 will be optional available either middle or end of the year. When do we see the new V8 Vantage? That will have to either end of the year or early next year.
[url="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/aston-martin-db11-volante-revealed
For 007 in Bond 25 V8 Vantage or DBX.

CommanderRoss

Stunning car, even better looking then the coupe if you ask me.
The question is, with so many new cars announced, which one will Bond dive? The successor to the Vanquish? I don't believe he'll either go for the V8 nor for the DBX. Especially the latte isn't fit for Bond.

I believe they said Bond is going to drive a new Aston, again. I'm assuming the DB10 is already retired, and they're making a new bespoke car for Bond.

CommanderRoss

Well he usually gets the lates, but I don't think he'll be driving a new bespoke one. That would ask quite a bit from Aston, and I think they fare better with Bond driving the latest of th production cars, so they can use Bond as extra attraction (read: a bespoke 007 version, like they did with the DBS).
