The Goldfinger Edition Aston Martin DB12: Licence to Thrill (and flex).

If you've ever thought while driving... “This would be so much cooler if I were evading a shadowy organisation or speeding away from an exploding volcano lair,” the Goldfinger Edition Aston Martin DB12 is the car for you. Inspired by one of James Bond’s most iconic adventures, and launched on the 60th anniversary of it’s namesake film, this automotive masterpiece doesn’t just get you from A to B - it does it with enough style to make even Q blush.

First off, let’s talk about that name: ‘The Goldfinger Edition’. Sure, it's a reference to the villain who tried to rob Fort Knox, but here, it’s shorthand for ‘gold-plated awesomeness.’ The exterior shimmers in a colour that can only be described as ‘luxury bullion chic.’ One glance, and you’ll know this car doesn’t belong in a typical office car park - it should be launching off ramps and narrowly escaping henchmen in mountain tunnels.

Under the hood, you’ll find a monstrous 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8, because nothing says “I’m on His Majesty’s Secret Service” quite like leaving other cars in a cloud of dust. Whether you’re dodging enemy helicopters or just trying to get to Tesco before it closes, the DB12’s twin-turbo V8 makes sure you do it faster - and with a lot more drama. In fact, there’s a good chance this car will make your morning commute feel like a high-speed chase through the streets of Lake Como.

Inside, the cabin is a blend of handcrafted luxury pulled together by Aston Martin’s own legendary Q Branch. The best of the best! Leather seats so plush you’d think they were stolen from a royal palace, paired with a high-tech dashboard that might as well be an extension of MI6 itself. The only addition I think this needs?  - a button that, when pressed, plays the Bond theme and dims the lights for full cinematic effect… oh and maybe an ejector seat!

...channel your inner Sean Connery.

The Goldfinger Edition Aston Martin DB12 isn’t just a car - it’s a lifestyle. One that lets you channel your inner Sean Connery, whether you're on a mission or just running late for a meeting. Because why settle for ordinary when you can drive legendary?
