Want to drive James Bond's car? Aston Martin to auction one DB10 'Spectre' edition

James Bond's latest car has been speeding up the exclusivity index with ease. Aston Martin DB10 is the first car made by the British auto maker, specially for a Bond movie. Of the 10 bespoke DB10 created for the film, only one will be auctioned next year.

Eight of the 10 DB10 cars have been used for filming Spectre, along with two show cars.

Aston Martin sports cars have a long association with the franchise as they have been favoured by the British Secret Service agent for the last 50 years. This exclusive-to-Spectre DB10 was designed, engineered and hand crafted by a dedicated team at Aston Martin's Gaydon Headquarters in the UK. Including Spectre, Aston Martin has featured in 12 of the 24 Bond films.

The 24th James Bond film, starring Daniel Craig, is also the first to feature the two main cars that were solely created for the film and are not available to the public.

Even the car used by the film's villain ( Christoph Waltz) — the Jaguar C-X75 — is not for sale. Only seven of these Jaguars were created for the film. Jaguar Land Rover also provided the film with 10 customised Land Rover Defenders and seven Range Rover Sport SVRs.

However, to mark the release of Spectre, 150 DB9 GT Bond Edition models have been made available to fans. This roadworthy edition, which has already started selling for $253,000, is a stopgap model that doesn't quite have all the features of the DB10.
