Spy on 007’s Aston Martin DB10 in this Spectre set video

We love James Bond for his exquisite style, effortless bravado, and never-ending flair for the dramatic. Funnily enough, we love his cars for the same reasons.

In the upcoming Spectre film, 007’s ride of choice will be the Aston Martin DB10, a conceptual sports car that was created specifically for this role. Though it won’t be sold to customers, the DB10 is a striking design, boasting the classic Aston profile with a more exotic front end.

A video shot in Rome, Italy by YouTube user Marchettino shows a trio of film cars sauntering on set, looking unsurprisingly gorgeous.

Underneath the vehicle’s flowing bodywork sits the bones of a V8 Vantage, but it has a longer wheelbase and a wider track. Ten cars were built for the film in total, at least a few of which are likely to meet a fiery, gut-wrenching end.

Last year, Aston Martin design director Marek Reichman told Top Gear, “Some may get destroyed. They’ll be treated harshly, used in real stunts. When you see the car in the movie, it’s not CGI. It’s got a real driver in it. It’s being pushed to its limits.”

The Bond film will also feature appearances by the Jaguar C-X75 prototype, Land Rover Defender, and Range Rover Sport SVR.

Spectre follows James Bond as he hunts down a sinister criminal organization of the same name. Other than the host of striking automobiles, the film stars Daniel Craig, Lea Seydoux, Dave Bautista, Ben Wishaw, Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes, Christoph Waltz, Monica Bellucci, Andrew Scott, and Rory Kinnear.

007 returns to the big screen in the U.S. on November 6, 2015.

A new sodium battery posts wild four-minute charging numbers, but don’t expect it in an EV yet
The breakthrough could improve fast charging and battery life, but the study hasn’t demonstrated those results in a production-sized pack
EV Charger

A new sodium-metal battery has posted a charging number that makes today’s EVs look painfully slow. In laboratory testing, the cell operated at a 15C rate, equivalent to completing a charge or discharge in roughly four minutes.

That doesn’t mean researchers plugged in an electric car and watched it fill up before the driver finished buying coffee. The result came from a small experimental cell using a new quasi-solid electrolyte, while the larger pouch-cell prototype delivered far less dramatic performance.

The Apple Car may be dead, but it became the foundation of Apple Intelligence
A decade of work on a canceled car project reportedly laid the groundwork for Apple Intelligence.
Apple Intelligence in Apple Car

The Apple Car may have never left the garage, but it apparently gave birth to Apple's AI ambitions. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple's canceled autonomous vehicle project, one that consumed more than a decade of work and over $10 billion before being scrapped in 2024, ended up laying the technological foundation for Apple Intelligence. In a rather ironic twist, one of Apple's most expensive failures may also become one of its most important long-term investments.

Volkswagen’s ID. Unyx 09 just leaked, and it’s the kind of EV I want to see in the US
VW's partnership with Xpeng is producing exactly what we hoped.
Bumper, Transportation, Vehicle

I've been watching Volkswagen's China lineup quietly get cooler for the past two years, but the ID. Unyx 09 might be the moment it finally gets exciting, not just for Chinese buyers, but for the rest of the world as well. 

Regulatory filings from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Batch 409, have exposed the full specs of the upcoming sedan ahead of its official launch later this year, and it looks nothing like any VW car I've seen before (via CarNewsChina).
