This is a one-of-one marvel inspired by none other than Auric Goldfinger, the iconic villain from the James Bond franchise.

The Phantom Goldfinger takes its cues from the 1937 Phantom III Sedanca de Ville, famously owned by the film’s namesake antagonist. It sports a bold yellow exterior but with all the grace and gravitas you’d expect from a Rolls-Royce.

The two-tone “long-side” design wraps around the car’s impressive coachwork like an unbroken ribbon of luxury. 21-inch wheels are finished in black, complete with silver “floating” hubcaps. A nod to the original 1937 model, these wheels bring a retro-modern charm that feels right at home.

If you thought the exterior was striking, the inside is something else. There’s a hidden vault in the centre console, home to an illuminated 18-carat gold bar shaped like a Phantom Speedform. A miniaturized, stylized version of the car itself.

It’s the kind of detail that makes you pause, if only to marvel at the sheer audacity of it.  

Gold accents abound, from the base of the front and rear centre consoles to the glovebox interior, which is debossed with Goldfinger’s unforgettable line: “This is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life, I have been in love with its colour, its brilliance, its divine heaviness.”  

Even the treadplates are designed to mimic gold bars, each featuring the Goldfinger moniker for that extra touch of theatricality.

The Starlight Headliner, a Rolls-Royce signature, has been meticulously designed to replicate the constellations as they appeared over Switzerland’s Furka Pass on July 11, 1964, the last day of filming one of the movie’s most memorable scenes.

At the centre of the dashboard sits bespoke artwork: a hand-drawn isoline map of the Furka Pass. It frames a unique clock inspired by the legendary gun barrel sequence, instantly recognizable to any Bond aficionado.  

Adding a final touch of cinematic nostalgia, the Phantom Goldfinger comes with the famed “AU 1” British number plate, originally seen on the Goldfinger Phantom III in the film. It’s already been delivered to a Rolls-Royce collector in England, undoubtedly becoming the crown jewel in their collection.

As Auric Goldfinger himself might say, “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times? That’s just Rolls-Royce being exceptional.”

To mark 60 years of this celebrated alliance, Aston Martin has unveiled the DB12 Goldfinger Edition, a homage to both the British carmaker’s rich lineage and the legacy of the most famous spy in cinematic history.

The DB12, Aston Martin’s Super Tourer, has been reimagined with the same flair that made the DB5 a legend when it first appeared in *Goldfinger* back in 1964. Only 60 units of the Goldfinger Edition will be produced, a fitting number to celebrate six decades of thrilling film moments shared between Bond and Aston Martin.

Taking inspiration from the DB5, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition is draped in Silver Birch paint, with subtle yet striking gold accents. From the unique Aston Martin logo to the black enamel side strakes, every detail whispers elegance while nodding to Bond’s timeless style.

Even the bespoke 21-inch multi-spoke wheels get the special treatment, ensuring this edition turns heads.

Inside, the car continues the theme of bespoke craftsmanship. Leather Sports Plus seats, styled after the DB5’s classic fluted design, feature an intricate Prince of Wales check, a subtle nod to Bond’s own sartorial choices.

Gold-plated accents, from the drive mode selector to the notched gear lever, add a touch of indulgence, echoing the sophistication of the golden era of Bond films. For the truly eagle-eyed Bond fan, an ‘eight of hearts’ motif is embroidered onto the sun visor; a reference to the famous *Goldfinger* pool scene.

Each DB12 Goldfinger Edition comes with a set of exclusive, Bond-inspired gifts. The lucky owners will receive a custom car cover, a Speedform model, a 35mm film strip from the legendary Furka Pass scene, and more—all housed in a Globe-Trotter attaché case.

“Celebrating 60 years of partnership with the Bond franchise through the DB12 Goldfinger Edition is a milestone for Aston Martin,” said Marco Mattiacci, Global Chief Brand and Commercial Officer. “This special edition is our tribute to a relationship that has helped define our brand’s global appeal.”

With its powerful 4.0-litre V8 Twin-Turbo engine delivering an impressive 670hp, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition performs, too.

The DB12 Goldfinger Edition is a must-have for collectors and Bond aficionados alike, and a reminder of why this legendary partnership continues to captivate the world.
