F Type in Specter James Bond Movie?
I just watched the new James Bond movie "Specter." The "Aston Martin" Daniel Craig drives when he is chased by the villain in the Jaguar concept car looks a lot like a F Type. I googled my observation, and the results stated that the Aston Martin driven in the movie during the chase scenes is a "concept vehicle" not street legal. The villian's car was the concept Jaguar, M's car was a Jaguar, and the SUV's used during the airplane scenes in Austria were Range Rovers, same company as Jaguar. Perhaps Jaguar et al made a deal with the movie company. My point is, was the car driven by Daniel Craig a modified F Type? Anybody else thinks the same thing?

I can see some similarities but they are totally different. I guess I am conditioned by experience to instantly tell the difference between a front engined and a mid-engined design. Totally different proportions.

The DB10 has been a highly publicized model and they did sell one to the public. Aston Martin has made a big deal about it...

I believe one of our forum friends (Zach) owns a bond edition.

Thanks SoCal. The new DB11 looks gorgeous. I'll be following it.

the main body line I like, the roof line I don't because is looks at the rear like the Nissan Maxima new "separated" roof. from the full side profile, if you ignore the roofline break I see a little F-Type lurking there. Nose is solid Aston. Interior seems meh.....quality high but styling just ok. I am sorry they are losing the sound of the old V-12. My overall impression, just fair to middling. Not as big a departure from the DB9 as I expected.
Curious to see if they will be able to tune the Mercedes bi turbo V8 to sound like an Aston V8, that will take a miracle. |
At first, I see it's a V12 Turbo and I say, whoa!
But then I see it's only 5.2 liters and puts out 600 HP. That gives it a 0-60 of 3.9. So I'm left wondering, why 12 cylinders when a V8 does the same thing? |
because of the exclusivity and sound of a V12

From that video, it sounds like it's a small engine. Sure it sounds good, but it doesn't sound nearly as good as our 5 liter V8. I just don't get making a V12 and only having it be 5.2 liters.

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...8eb054b6c.jpeg I prefer the design direction of the old CX-75. The new Vision GT concept is headed off into Fisker land and looking a bit too cartoonish. The 25” wheels are over-doing it. |
