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

Aston Martin DB10 - Filming James Bond 007 Spectre Movie
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.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?
The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.

We’re finally getting to the fun part of automakers’ methodical quest to replicate their lineups with electric cars.
