Aston Martin proudly introduces the DB12 Goldfinger Edition, crafted by the marque’s bespoke personalization service, Q by Aston Martin. This limited-edition vehicle commemorates the 60-year association between Aston Martin and the James Bond film franchise.
The legendary partnership between Aston Martin and 007 began in 1964 with the release of Goldfinger, where the Aston Martin DB5 made its iconic debut on the silver screen. The DB5 became one of the world’s most recognizable cars, cementing its place in the brand’s distinguished ‘DB’ lineup. Today, the newest evolution of this series is receiving its own 007-inspired treatment.
To mark this milestone, only 60 DB12 Goldfinger Editions will be released worldwide, honoring a collaboration that has shaped Aston Martin’s history for over half of its 111 years.
DB12 Goldfinger Edition
While the original DB5 in Goldfinger was outfitted with gadgets to help James Bond escape danger, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition offers a refined driving experience with subtle nods to the film.
The car is finished in the iconic Silver Birch paint color, reminiscent of the DB5 from Goldfinger, paired with striking 21-inch multi-spoke wheels in a unique silver color and diamond-finished rims. The exterior also features black brake calipers, bespoke gold side strakes, and a distinctive Aston Martin logo in silver and black enamel. A chrome ‘Q’ badge on the fender confirms the special touches applied to this edition.
Inside, the Sports Plus leather seats pay homage to the DB5 with a fluted design and intricate Prince of Wales check perforation, a nod to James Bond’s classic suits. This pattern extends to the door inserts, headliner, and is etched onto the treadplate. A polished sill plaque commemorates the 60th anniversary of Goldfinger.
Luxurious 18k gold-plated accents elevate the interior, gracing the drive mode rotary dial, roller controls, and the gear selector, which draws inspiration from the golden tracking device used in the film. The gold theme continues through the trim inlays, where gold metal fibers are woven into the 2X2 Twill Gloss Carbon Fibre. For the true Bond aficionado, the ‘eight of hearts’ card, featured in the Goldfinger Miami pool scene, is embroidered on the driver’s sun visor.
Exclusive Gifts for DB12 Goldfinger Edition Owners
Every DB12 Goldfinger Edition comes with exclusive gifts, as unique as the car itself. Owners will receive a custom car cover, a luxury key presentation box, and a Silver Birch Speedform model. Additionally, a segment of the iconic Furka Pass scene from Goldfinger, presented on 35mm film, will be gifted, along with a special edition Aston Martin magazine, numbered 1 to 60.
This collection is presented in a Globe-Trotter attaché case, echoing the car’s design with a Silver Birch exterior and Prince of Wales check interior. Owners will also enjoy a magnum of 2007 vintage Champagne Bollinger, individually numbered and paired with four exclusive Bollinger 007 glasses, all elegantly packed in a bespoke Globe-Trotter Air Cabin Case.
Q by Aston Martin
The DB12 Goldfinger Edition was created by Q by Aston Martin, the marque’s bespoke personalization service, much like ‘Q Branch’ in the Bond films. With the expertise of Q’s designers and craftspeople, customers can embark on a personalized commissioning journey, creating everything from small, unique details to entirely bespoke components, ensuring their vehicle is truly one of a kind.
“The bond between Aston Martin and the James Bond franchise is something we hold dear,” said Marco Mattiacci, Global Chief Brand and Commercial Officer. “To commemorate 60 years of this partnership with a special edition inspired by the first—and arguably most iconic—Bond car is a tremendous honor. The subtle yet impactful touches developed by our ‘Q’ department have resulted in a one-of-a-kind offering that will be cherished by Bond fans across the globe.”
Mattiacci continued, “Q by Aston Martin allows us to create truly unique vehicles, often driven by the imaginations of our valued customers. We are thrilled to bring these ideas to life, no matter the scale.”
The Ultimate Super Tourer Meets 007
The Aston Martin DB12 offers an unparalleled combination of performance, luxury, and style, pushing the DB bloodline to new heights. Powered by a 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine, producing 680 PS and 800 Nm of torque, the DB12 promises a thrilling yet refined driving experience, supported by its advanced suspension system.
The DB12 was also the first of Aston Martin’s next generation of sports cars to feature the brand’s new in-house designed infotainment system, which offers an ideal balance between touchscreen and physical controls. Paired with the Bowers & Wilkins halo audio system, the Goldfinger Edition ensures an immersive experience for all occupants.
First deliveries of the Aston Martin DB12 Goldfinger Edition are expected in Q2 2025.
