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<\/a><\/strong>.  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.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
