Few pairings are as iconic as James Bond and Aston Martin. Since 1964’s Goldfinger, the Aston Martin DB5 has been forever linked to 007’s suave yet dangerous persona. Now, Aston Martin pays homage to this enduring legacy with the DB12 Goldfinger Edition, a stunning tribute to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the film’s release.
Limited to just 60 units, this special edition DB12 is more than just a nod to cinematic history—it's a full-blown engineering marvel. Powered by a hand-built 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, this super tourer cranks out an astonishing 680PS (around 671 horsepower) and 800Nm of torque. This isn’t just a grand tourer; it’s the first of its kind, a “super tourer,” pushing the boundaries of Aston Martin’s already exceptional performance standards. With redefined dynamics, including an all-new suspension system and intelligent adaptive dampers, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition delivers driving precision that would make even Q proud.
The Goldfinger Edition's design draws cues from the classic DB5, while adding modern flourishes fit for the 21st century. The exterior, of course, features the unmistakable Silver Birch paint—a subtle yet striking tribute to the DB5’s most famous on-screen moments. Inside, the cabin is a masterclass in luxury, combining cutting-edge technology with hand-crafted materials. But make no mistake—this isn’t just a luxury cruiser. With a top speed of 202 mph, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition has the performance chops to back up its cinematic pedigree.
The Aston Martin DB12 Goldfinger Edition isn’t merely a car; it’s a celebration of over six decades of high-octane ceminatic history. Limited, bespoke, and utterly captivating, this super tourer is for those who live in the fast lane, both on-screen and off. Prepare to channel your inner Bond—license to thrill included.
