Aston Martin does not build many cars like the Aston Martin DB10: a 2-door coupé with 4.7&nbsp, built from 2014 to 2015 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Its designer of record is Sam Holgate under Marek Reichman. Production ran to 10 cars.

The background

The Aston Martin DB10 is a bespoke grand tourer specially developed for the James Bond film Spectre by the British luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin.

The engineering

Under the skin sits 4.7&nbsp. Kerb weight is 1542 kg. The gearbox is a 6-speed Graziano manual. The layout matters: the engine sits behind the driver and ahead of the rear axle, which puts the mass in the middle of the car and is why mid-engined cars change direction the way they do. The wheelbase is 2705 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Where it sits

Where it sits in Aston Martin's history is not in doubt: it was built at Gaydon, Warwickshire, United Kingdom. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Ford Escort, the Ferrari 488, the Infiniti Q50. Its Aston Martin stablemates include the Aston Martin Mark II and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3.
