    New video for us to look at! I think you'll all agree when I say can November 6 get here NOW?

    Also, are those BUTTERFLY doors? A Bond first.

    Do you think we'll ever learn the full specs? (0-60, top speed, official Aston Martin colour, kerb weight, wheelbase, etc.)

    The registration plate reads "DB10 AGB."

    This is just a crazy theory I'm putting forward here:

    DB10 is obviously the model of the car.

    Could "AGB" refer to Andrew Bond? I know that his middle name has never been revealed but "AB" would make sense...

    The latest TV spot shows it equipped with a flamethrower.

    Yep, I've seen that! looks pretty cool, and is actually a gadget that makes sense

    You do have to wonder if Hinx's Jaguar is equipped with any special gadgetry. If so, we may be looking at another Die Another Day type battle. :)

    Please let there be a Bond enters q's lab - banter - mire banter - car pickup scene!
    Imagine the dialogue:

    Bond, after hearing the word flamethrower:
    "and you said an exploding pen was unrealistic."

    I really hope that's the way it goes. The last time we had that, it WAS Die Another Day.

    When I saw the long Trailer it like the Aston Martin has some gadgets. Because the Jag catches fire. When it jump the Alfa it look like the car from Quantum of solace last car chase when drove previous Aston Martin DBS. That time he had to use his skills.

    well therein lies the difference. more so since the DB10 was only made for Bond and will not be sold on the market. which gives plenty of opportunity to get some gadgets in.

    @Property personally I don't like the DAD battle, as it makes no sense whatsoever and the gadgetws were clearly meant to catch eachother out. I hope this is just one, or mybe two gadgets on the DB10 that actually make sense.

    @CommanderRoss Oh, haha! I thought everyone loved the battle. It's alright though. People have different opinions.

    Well, thanks to our good friend Q, we know it'll do 0-60 in 3,2 seconds. Pretty dang quick. Where can I get one, Q? Please say, because I want one right FREAKING NOW. :D

    You'll have to join MI6, even then you'd be likely to get a bog standard company car. You'd then have to spend years rising amongst the ranks until you reached the pay grade of "The Best of the Best" - only then would you even stand a chance of getting behind the wheel of this beauty.

    Q pulled strings and stretched the budget and brought in a car so exclusive that no one outside of the service would be lucky to even see one flying past.

    Even the members of the 500 Richest People In The World would be able to drive her.

    {Real world answer: They're exclusive to the film}

    It was mentioned that one of the "hero" cars would be auctioned to the highest bidder.

    =)) I want a job with them immediately. I just watched the trailer in HD on my TV and was able to read the gadget buttons. They were: backfire (used on Hinx), atmosphere, and exhaust. I wonder what those do.

    Atmosphere plays 'Sexual Healing' in tandem with an interior mood-light sequence when Bond wants to get jiggy with a lady passenger.

    Well, Q certainly knows Bond then.

    I wouldn't call his behaviour 'sexual healing'. More 'sexual hunting' if you ask me... ;-)

    Thanks for sharing @Property! Those are some increadable photo's. To be honest, I wasn't quite convinced when they showed the car first, but somehow it works very, very, very well indeed. I wonder if Q's specs are realistic.

    What is SalonPriveUK and how the heck do you pronounce it?
  • ScampScamp
    Posts: 117
    Large and normally exclusive UK concours and new car show normally held in London. Prive has an accent over the e so pronounced as in the French (Priv ay). Usually held at somewhere like the Hurlingham Club.

    I managed to get a good look at the DB10 during the Salon Prive event at Blenheim Palace.
    Love to post a particularly interesting and humerous detail image if I knew how to !

    I personally would have preferred to see Bond in a production Aston. It gives these fantasy cars a little grounding in reality. Not a huge fan of the styling of this car either - looks a tad Bat mobile. It lacks the true simplicity of the DB5 or the masculinity of the Vantage.

    Also not that excited by the Jag. If it had to be a super car it should have been Italian - perhaps a Maserati. The trailer looks a little too Fast and Furious for me. I liked the stripped down straightforwardness of the Aston and Alfa Romeos in QOS.

    It's in little details like this that I find Mendes' approach slightly annoying. He veers too much into the silly fantasy elements at times. IMO he's learned the wrong lessons from the Moore era, which he and Craig clearly love so much.

    Having said that, the rest of the trailer looks pretty fantastic so I am not expecting the choice of cars to ruin it for me.
