The Aston Martin DB9 GT Bond Edition

A Refined Homage to a Cinematic Legend: The Aston Martin DB9 GT Bond Edition

The James Bond franchise and Aston Martin have shared an iconic partnership that’s unrivalled in cinematic history. Marking the release of SPECTRE movie, which now seems like a golden memory from the past, the James Bond Aston Martin DB9 GT Bond Edition was unveiled as a tangible testament to this timeless bond (pun intended).

In the movie, Bond drives the Aston Martin DB10, which was exclusively tailored for the movie. Only 10 models were crafted, and not all survived the action-packed sequences of the movie. And, its design wasn’t attuned to meet standard regulations for road legality, rendering it a silver screen marvel rather than a street presence. Instead, Aston martin released the DB9 GT Bond Edition for public sale.

As if driving an Aston Martin didn’t already exude exclusivity, only 150 DB9 GTs were earmarked to don the “007 Bond Edition” badge, making it a rare gem even among its pedigree peers. Though they now tread the second-hand market, each of these limited-edition models carries with it an aura of timeless elegance and sophistication.

From the first glance, the James Bond Aston Martin DB9 exudes subtle elegance, thanks to its unique Spectre Silver paint and sterling silver Aston Martin badges. However, its exclusivity goes beyond mere aesthetics.

This machine is powered by a 6.0-litre V12 engine, promising an exhilarating experience with a top speed of 183 mph. Every inch of this car, from the 20-inch alloy wheels to the grey brake calipers, has been meticulously crafted to ensure it is worthy of the 007 title.

Inside, the experience becomes even more personal with the touch-sensitive Aston Martin infotainment system greeting you with a special Bond Edition start-up screen. The gun barrel embroidery on the rear seat divider further accentuates its association with the legendary spy.

However, it doesn’t stop at the car. The Aston Martin DB9 GT Bond Edition also offered its proud owner a suite of Bond-themed accessories. The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m James Bond Limited Edition watch, paired with a unique Aston Martin strap, is just one of the luxurious accessories included. Although, if you’re buying the DB9 GT second-hand, it might not come with the add ons.

It’s intriguing to note that while in the movie SPECTRE, James Bond was seen driving an exclusive Aston Martin DB10, it’s the DB9 GT Bond Edition that car enthusiasts and Bond aficionados alike can now seek out in the second-hand market, to own a piece of this enduring partnership.
