Aston Martin Celebrates Goldfinger with DB12 Special Edition

Author: |

Aston Martin has unveiled a special edition of the DB12 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the iconic James Bond film, Goldfinger. This limited-edition model pays homage to the DB5 that famously appeared in the film, marking the beginning of a long-standing partnership between Aston Martin and the James Bond franchise.

The DB12 Goldfinger offers a more luxurious driving experience, incorporating subtle nods to the film. The exterior features a Silver Birch paint job, echoing the color of the original DB5. Unique 21-inch wheels, black brake calipers, gold side strakes, a silver and black Aston Martin logo, and Q fender badges further enhance the special edition's appearance.

Inside, the cabin is adorned with leather seats featuring the classic DB5 fluted style and an intricate Prince of Wales check perforation pattern. The perforated pattern is also found on the headliner, doors, and treadplates, which feature a plaque commemorating the 60th anniversary of Goldfinger.

To add a touch of opulence, the interior includes 18k gold-plated accents and a gear selector inspired by the golden tracking device used in the film. Glossy carbon fiber trim with golden metal accents, an embroidered "eight of hearts" on the driver's sun visor, and a reference to the Miami pool scene further enhance the Goldfinger theme.

Production of the DB12 Goldfinger is limited to 60 units worldwide, each accompanied by a series of exclusive gifts. These include a custom car cover, a key presentation box, a Silver Birch Speedform model, and a section of the iconic Furka Pass scene from Goldfinger in 35mm film.

In addition to the physical gifts, buyers will also receive a limited edition magazine and a magnum of 2007 vintage Champagne Bollinger with four exclusive Bollinger 007 glasses presented in a bespoke Globe-Trotter Air Cabin Case. The other gifts come in a Globe-Trotter attaché case with a Silver Birch body and a Prince of Wales check interior.

Deliveries for the DB12 Goldfinger are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2025. The car is powered by a Mercedes-sourced twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces 671 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. This enables the standard model to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 325 km/h.
