If you’re a James Bond fan with around £300,000 to spare your newest set of wheels may be here - as Aston Martin have released a special Goldfinger edition of their DB12.
The 671 bhp DB12 Goldfinger Edition is a limited-run model crafted by the marque’s bespoke personalisation division, Q by Aston Martin.
It commemorates 60 years of the brand's association with the James Bond film franchise.
Only 60 of these exclusive vehicles will be produced, marking a milestone in one of cinema's most iconic partnerships, which began with the release of Goldfinger in 1964.
The DB5, which made its on-screen debut in Goldfinger, quickly became one of the world’s most recognisable cars, solidifying Aston Martin’s place in both film and automotive history.
Now, six decades later, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition builds on that legacy, infusing the latest in luxury and performance with elements inspired by the legendary spy.
While the DB5 in Goldfinger was famed for its gadgetry, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition is designed to offer a luxurious James Bond-inspired driving experience.
Finished in the same Silver Birch paint that made the DB5 iconic, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition features striking 21” multi-spoke wheels with a diamond treatment, black brake callipers, and gold side strakes. The car’s customisation is confirmed by a chrome ‘Q’ fender badge, symbolising the exclusive touches from Aston Martin’s Q division.
Inside, the interior takes inspiration from Bond’s wardrobe, featuring leather Sports Plus seats styled with a Prince of Wales check perforation pattern, reminiscent of the classic Bond suit.
Gold-plated accents, including the drive mode dial and gear selector, pay homage to the golden tracking device from Goldfinger. The attention to detail continues with gold fibres weaved into the carbon fibre trim, and a subtle nod for Bond enthusiasts: the 'eight of hearts' is embroidered onto the driver’s sun visor, referencing a pivotal scene from the film.
Each DB12 Goldfinger Edition comes with a selection of exclusive gifts.
Owners will receive a custom car cover, a luxury key presentation box, and a Silver Birch Speedform model. A truly unique gift – a 35mm film frame from the iconic Furka Pass scene in Goldfinger – will also be included. These items will be presented in a Globe-Trotter attaché case, designed to mirror the car’s Silver Birch exterior and Prince of Wales check interior.
Additionally, owners will receive a magnum of 2007 vintage Bollinger Champagne, individually numbered and accompanied by four exclusive 007 Bollinger glasses, elegantly presented in a Globe-Trotter Air Cabin Case.
The DB12 Goldfinger Edition was developed by Aston Martin’s in-house Q division, a personalisation service that offers clients endless possibilities for bespoke details. Much like ‘Q Branch’ in the Bond films, the Q team works closely with customers to design unique vehicles, from small customisations to entirely new components.
“The relationship between Aston Martin and the James Bond franchise is something we hold dearly,” said Marco Mattiacci, Aston Martin’s Global Chief Brand and Commercial Officer. “This special edition celebrates that partnership and pays homage to perhaps the most famous Bond car of all time, the DB5.”
The DB12 Goldfinger Edition is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 Twin-Turbo engine, delivering 680PS/800Nm for a thrilling yet refined drive. It features Aston Martin’s next-generation infotainment system, developed in-house, and the Bowers & Wilkins halo audio system, ensuring a soundtrack fit for a secret agent.
First deliveries of the DB12 Goldfinger Edition are expected to begin in Q2 2025, adding another chapter to Aston Martin’s celebrated history in both motoring and cinema.
