Aston Martin Special

In an amazing scoop, we get to grips with the three new models set to shake up the supercar elite in 2010

February 2010

Get ready for a hat-trick of heroes from Aston Martin! The famous British manufacturer wants 2010 to be its most successful year yet, and Auto Express has been granted an exclusive audience with the three cars set to take the firm to new heights.

The next 12 months see the introduction of the Rapide four-door, as well as the amazing £1.2million One-77, while an updated version of the V8 Vantage will break cover, too. In a world first, we’ve brought together this star trio for an exclusive photoshoot. We even got the chance to fire up the 750bhp One-77 - and to speak to the brains behind this extraordinary car, Chris Porritt.

But that’s not all. We’ve travelled to Valencia, Spain, to put the Rapide luxury saloon through its paces for the first time, while the pictures of the updated V8 Vantage are the first to be revealed anywhere in the world. For any Aston fan, this promises to be a vintage year – so read on to find out all the details that matter on the firm’s star line-up.

Have one more movie with Bond

Well the next Bond movie will be release next year but filming start from June to end of the year so how about have 1 more contract in the next Bond Movie. No one know what going with the next Bond movie yet. Most James Bond fans want have one chance with 007 driving An Aston Martin again. Maybe with 0ne-77 or V12 Vantage or The Rapide limo. Well nothing thought of yet but definely Bond will drive a Q branch car. Q will return in the 007 movie.

Take note Bond

Would that be the car to have James, but it will be better if we see more then a few minutes of the super car without being trashed. Wonder when we will see the first one for sale on Astonfinder.com

Bond wont drive one

I properly doubt that James Bond will drive a One-77 in the next film. The price of the car will probibit the damage that is done to every car he drives. Not to mention that it is completly implausable that the government would shell out 1,2mil on a car for a spy.

Id put money on a Rapide.

Nothing talked about it yet.

The producers are just working on story. James Bond will drive a issued car in the next movie but nothing said about that yet. We or most of us hope he drive an Aston Martin.
