Aston Martin bought the Racing Point team this season and is logically promoting its partnership with the famous James Bond franchise, historically linked to the brand since 1965 and the Goldfinger movie.
The movie No Time to Die (Die Another Day), which is the latest installment of James Bond, was supposed to be released in early 2020 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the closure of movie theaters. The movie will finally be released on October 6 in France.
While a new trailer has just been released this week, another promotion took place in London near the Battersea power station.
For the occasion, a life-size replica of a Corgi toy box, containing a real car, was placed next to one of the first coal-fired power stations in London. This box contains the famous Aston Martin used by James Bond in several movies – 8 to be exact: the famous 1965 DB5.
Fans will notably have the opportunity to discover the machine guns coming out of the car’s front headlights. The shooting of the latest installment required the construction of 25 replicas of the DB5 to allow for the different scenes and stunts. These replicas were all built in Aston Martin’s workshops.
For the occasion, the brand also presented an AMR 21 F1 on site.
Here are some images of this partnership between Aston Martin and James Bond:
