![“Pic of the Week”, March 1, 2019: James Bond’s Aston Martin 00 Bond car](http://drfumblefinger.com/wp-content/themes/CleanStyle/scripts/phpthumb/phpThumb.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fdrfumblefinger.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F07%2F00-Bond-car.jpg&w=566&h=310&zc=1)
Sitting adjacent to the Burj Khalifa gift shop in Dubai was a most beautiful car. If it looks familiar it’s because it was used in the Bond movie, Spectre. The car is an Aston Martin DB10, a 2 door concept car created especially for the movie by the British Car manufacturer. A total of 10 cars was made — 8 used in the movie, 2 used for promotional purposes. I assume this is one of the latter.
Some of the car’s technical specifics: 4.7 liter AJ37 V8 engine producing 430 bhp. Accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.3 seconds. 6 speed manual transmission. Top speed 310 km/h (193/h).
A rare and very beautiful machine. And if you can’t afford the multi-million dollar price tag, the gift shop sells a cheaper version you could take home with you.
