Any James Bond movie isn’t complete without his signature Aston Martin, and celebrating the latest movie in the series – ‘Spectre’, the British luxury automaker has announced the release of strictly limited DB9 GT Bond Edition.
Priced at £165,000, and based on DB9 GT, the DB9 GT Bond edition is available to order starting today. The company has announced that it will be making only 150 units of the car. Designed to offer the best of what DB9 can be, the DB9 GT delivers world-class grand touring and hand-built excellence.
As far as power goes, the DB9 GT Bond Edition packs a 6.0-litre V12 engine that is capable of generating 547 PS at 6750 rpm, and 620 Nm of torque at 5500 rpm. The V12 engine is mated to the proven rear mid-mounted Touchtronic II six-speed transmission with electronic shift-by-wire control system. Thanks to the powerful innards, the luxury sports car can achieve 0-62mph in just 4.5 seconds with a top speed of a whopping 183 mph.
Secure handling, Normal, Sports and Track modes are some of the other features of the car that make it all the more desirable.
The car promises a unique set of interior and exterior features and a suite of elegant Bond-themed accessories to complement the model’s creation. Inside, the DB9 GT Bond Edition continues its subtle homage to James Bond with unique numbered sill plaques featuring the familiar 007 logo; gun barrel embroidery on the 2+2’s rear seat divider and a special Bond Edition start-up screen on the new model’s AMi II touch-sensitive Aston Martin infotainment system.
Presented in a finely-crafted 21” Globe-Trotter trolley case finished with an embossed leather luggage tag, the collector’s car also includes an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m James Bond Limited Edition watch complete with a unique Aston Martin strap.
These features build on the elegant styling of the DB9 GT which includes unique ten-spoke gloss black diamond turned 20-inch alloy wheels; bright aluminium bonnet vents, side strakes and grille; carbon fibre front splitter and rear diffuser, and grey brake calipers.
