The bond between Aston Martin and James Bond needs no introduction.
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.
