Gaydon, UK : Aston Martin is marking six decades of cinematic history with the release of the exclusive DB12 Goldfinger Edition, paying homage to its iconic partnership with the James Bond franchise. Crafted by the luxury brand’s bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin, this ultra-limited edition is a tribute to the legendary DB5 that first appeared in the 1964 Bond classic, Goldfinger.
The DB12 Goldfinger Edition, limited to just 60 units worldwide, brings a fresh twist to Aston Martin’s celebrated DB lineage. It draws on Bond-inspired design cues while delivering cutting-edge performance through its 4.0-litre V8 Twin-Turbo engine, capable of generating an astonishing 680 PS of power and 800 Nm of torque.
A Modern Tribute to a Timeless Icon
The Aston Martin-Bond connection, first cemented with the appearance of the DB5 in Goldfinger, has become one of cinema’s most recognized automotive pairings. Now, in celebration of 60 years, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition exudes Bond’s signature style with its Silver Birch exterior – a nod to the DB5 – and a host of luxurious, bespoke details.
This edition showcases 21” multi-spoke wheels finished with diamond treatment, gold side strakes, and a bespoke Aston Martin logo with black enamel. The iconic ‘Q’ badge on the fender hints at the custom touches crafted by the automaker’s design team.
An Interior Fit for 007
Inside, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition seamlessly blends luxury with Bond-inspired elegance. The Sports Plus seats are finished in the DB5’s classic fluted style, featuring a Prince of Wales check perforation, a design reminiscent of Bond’s tailored suits. Gold accents, including an 18k gold-plated rotary dial, gear selector, and interior trim, reflect the golden gadgets of Goldfinger.
For Bond enthusiasts, subtle nods to the film’s memorable scenes are scattered throughout. A small ‘eight of hearts’ embroidered on the driver’s sun visor references Bond’s final hand in the famed Miami pool scene.
Exclusive Gifts for an Exclusive Car
Aston Martin has gone the extra mile with exclusive gifts for DB12 Goldfinger Edition owners, including a Silver Birch Speedform model, a segment of the Goldfinger Furka Pass chase scene on 35mm film, and a custom car cover. A limited-edition Aston Martin magazine and a bottle of Bollinger 2007 Champagne, complete with custom 007 glasses, are also part of the package, all housed in a bespoke Globe-Trotter attaché case.
The Ultimate Bond Experience
The DB12 Goldfinger Edition represents the pinnacle of luxury and performance. Powered by Aston Martin’s acclaimed 4.0-litre V8 Twin-Turbo engine, the car is engineered for thrilling yet refined drives. Its state-of-the-art infotainment system, developed in-house, delivers a seamless experience between touch controls and physical buttons, while a Bowers & Wilkins halo audio system ensures a soundtrack worthy of Bond himself.
Marco Mattiacci, Global Chief Brand and Commercial Officer, remarked, “The bond between Aston Martin and the James Bond franchise is legendary, and this special edition celebrates the legacy of that partnership. Q by Aston Martin has infused this DB12 with subtle but powerful design touches that will resonate with Bond fans worldwide.”
