Aston Martin DBS Superleggera: Celebrating 50 Years of Bond’s ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’

Bonded Elegance - Few icons in cinematic history are as effortlessly stylish as James Bond. Beyond the tuxedos and martinis, his legacy rides on the gleam of high-octane machines that have become almost as legendary as the spy himself. Among these, the Aston Martin holds a place of honor, merging sophistication with raw power. To mark a special milestone in Bond lore, Aston Martin has unveiled a remarkable tribute: the ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ DBS Superleggera.

This special edition isn’t just any supercar; it is a deliberate nod to the 1969 Aston Martin DBS, immortalized by George Lazenby in the sixth Bond film. The DBS Superleggera revives that classic silhouette while injecting modern engineering excellence. Olive Green wraps the car in an unmistakable elegance, complemented by a carbon splitter, aeroblade, and uniquely forged alloy wheels, echoing the daring spirit of 1960s spy thrillers while commanding attention on contemporary streets.

A bespoke grille at the front provides a visual bridge to the DB5, featuring six horizontal vanes that blend heritage with a touch of audacious charm. Even the subtle details, like body-colored cantrails and roof, emphasize Aston Martin’s obsession with craftsmanship, ensuring that every angle of the car tells a story. It’s a vehicle that doesn’t just move; it announces itself, balancing heritage with modern luxury.

Step inside, and the cabin continues the narrative. All-black leather meets gray Alcantara accents, producing a refined yet sporty ambiance. Small yet meaningful touches—like the red trims inspired by the glove box that once stored Bond’s rifle—remind enthusiasts that this is more than a car; it’s a rolling tribute. A black drinks case in the trunk, sized perfectly for champagne bottles, adds a playful nod to Bond’s penchant for travel and indulgence.

Exclusivity is key. Only 50 units of this handcrafted DBS Superleggera will be produced, making it not merely a collector’s item but a rare piece of automotive history. Priced at £300,007 (approximately $381,600), it is designed for those who understand the allure of heritage, craftsmanship, and cinematic legend. Each car carries not only the spirit of James Bond but the timeless prestige of Aston Martin itself.

In a world where fast cars and movie stars often intersect, few collaborations feel as natural and exciting as this one. The ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ DBS Superleggera captures a moment in time while racing forward into the modern era—a perfect blend of nostalgia, style, and unstoppable energy. It’s a celebration of more than a film or a car; it’s an ode to the enduring thrill of James Bond himself. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARBUZZ | EN.WHEELAGE.ORG | CINEMARETRO ]
