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.

Never mind slowing sales, 57% of drivers will likely have an EV in 10 years

Sales of electric vehicles (EVs) have slowed globally over the past few years. But should EV makers cater more to the mainstream, it’s likely that 57% of drivers will have an EV in 10 years, consulting firm Accenture says.

Last year, nearly 14 million EVs were sold globally, representing a 35% year-on-year increase. But it was much slower than the 55% sales growth recorded in 2022 and the 121% growth in 2021.

I spent a week with an EV and it completely changed my mind about them
The Cupra Born VZ seen from the front.

After spending a week with an electric car as my main vehicle, opinions I’d formed about them prior to spending so much time with one have changed — and some quite dramatically.

I learned that while I now know I could easily live with one, which I wasn’t sure was the case before, I also found out that I still wouldn’t want to, but for a very different reason than I expected.
Quiet and effortless

The Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA), a trade group with members including the likes of Tesla, Waymo, Rivian, and Uber, is coming out in support of tax incentives for both the production and sale of electric vehicles (EVs).

Domestic manufacturers of EVs and their components, such as batteries, have received tax incentives that have driven job opportunities in states like Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and Georgia, the group says.
