VIDEO: Aston Martin release tyre-shredding tribute to Bond’s DB10

Aston Martin has paid tribute to its DB10 by releasing a video of it doing a continuous burnout and doughnuts to spell out ’007’ in rubber.

The video, which features one of the 10 DB10s made specially for the latest instalment of the James Bond franchise, has been released ahead of the 24th Bond film’s premiere in Australia on November 6.

Spectre marks the 50th anniversary of the collaboration between Bond film makers EON Productions and Aston Martin. The Aston DB5 first appeared in a James Bond film for the release of 'Goldfinger' in 1964, with Sean Connery at the wheel.

It’s still not known what powers the DB10. Muddying the waters is the British firm’s recent technical partnership with Mercedes-AMG, but instead of a Merc-derived twin-turbocharged V8, it’s expected the DB10 will feature Aston’s own 6.0-litre V12, if only to provide a suitable evocative soundtrack.

In the new video, confusingly, it looks like the DB10 is manually shifting using the gear lever, hinting that it could be running a six-speed manual, although the gear lever itself looks borrowed from an auto — time will tell if Bond prefers three or two pedals when he escapes from the bad guys.

In the final trailer for the movie, 007 is not only introduced to his new Aston Martin but shown driving it and using some of Q’s special aftermarket options that include a flame thrower.

The DB10 is then shown in a chase sequence in Rome, before the trailer culminates in the snowy Alps where a Land Rover Defender is seen spinning mid-air after a collision.

Despite being ruled out for production, the new small coupe is said to give a “glimpse to the future design direction for the next generation of Aston Martins”.

The design was led by Aston Martin's Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, and according to a press statement the team "worked closely" with Spectre's director, Sam Mendes, "to create the ultimate car for the world's most famous spy".

There’s plenty of trademark Aston Martin design cues in the DB10 from its familiar grille (pinched by Ford), long bonnet and flowing passenger compartment that's pushed back towards the rear axle.

Large wheels, short overhangs and a ground-hugging stance also feature, while the new headlight design is rumoured to reappear on the DB9-replacing DB11.

In total, Aston Martin made 10 DB10s for the James Bond producers, but it’s not known how many of those still exist and what will happen to them once filming is finished.
