Cool car, but I'm sure another 1/18 alternative will surface when Spectre comes out.
Speaking of, I'm still regretting not getting the 1/18 Aston Martin in 2006 when CR came out....
*Edit
Look there's already a cheaper one on the horizon! (A little cheaper ;) )

Well I got mine yesterday in The 50th Anniversary James Bond Classic Aston Martin DB5 in gold. This is the 6th one I got in Corgi it a beauty . Well other Brands base on 007 Classic Aston Martin DB5. I got now 11 model all round.
Looks like Corgi has an excuse to dust off the old moulds for

Looks like they are doing three sizes of DB10:
the little four inch MI6 RC version with remote control "watch",
the 007 not-remote controlled version which is about six inches long,
and another "Top Secret" version which I'm guessing is the largest remote control version.
Hopefully this is the right link

There are photos of the two smaller ones.
Try these two links. Look for the thumbnails on the right.

Not online unless you don't mind paying a bit more that it usually cost for a regular Hot Wheels 1/64 casting. Your best bet is ebay. Try your luck searching at the Hot Wheels aisle in stores. I found mine at the supermarket hanging off the pegs with all the other Hot Wheels cars..lol..

AutoArt, ClassicModelReplicars, Kyosho, CultScaleModels and UT Models IMO have the best details. They even have soft-fabric materials in the interior, which make these brands stand out from Ertl, Bburago, Maisto or Minichamps. The latter brands have 007-cars too, but they really lack a certain attention to detail.
I have the white AutArt Lotus Esprit Turbo from "FYEO" and it's absolutely breathtaking. But from the list above, I REALLY need to have the AutoArt Toyota 2000 GT from "YOLT". Absolutely stunning car. And obviously I want the 1968 Aston Martin DBS in olive brown. Stunning!
All my 1/18 are back in the box except for my ERTL 1/18 DB5 which is proudly displayed in my living room... By the way, that Autoart DB5 from Goldfinger you posted is a gem. A very nice piece. No one does car models better than Autoart.
You can actually see the difference in details between the ERTL DB5 and the AutoArt DB5:
AutoArt:
ERTL:
Look for instance to the side windows and the stickering. The interior from the AutoArt-DB5 has much finer linings, and also a more realistic, better scaled steering wheel. It is not as thick as the ERTK-DB5. Also, look closely to the updated AutoArt model of the DB5. They recently made the wheels much better....they are more detailed now:
Hot Wheels Elite will be releasing their version of the DB5 in 1/18 scale soon. I might just get that one...
SunStar and Mattell also released a 1/18 scale die cast model of the DB5. But the best ones really are from AutoArt. Also, the 1969 DBS and the Toyota 2000 GT I posted are breathtaking:
