Limited-run Aston Martin Was Designed by 007 Himself
Only seven examples of this ‘Inky Blue’ Aston Martin DBS Superleggera will be sold, and actor Daniel Craig aided in its creation.
Aston Martin is a staple in the James Bond franchise and makes for some iconic memories on the silver screen. However, this particular Aston is a real-world 007 masterpiece only available to seven people — and it was designed by Bond actor Daniel Craig.
Each year, luxury lifestyle retailer Neiman Marcus compiles a list of various luxury items and experiences to be sold off as their “Fantasy Gifts.” This year, seven lucky folks will have the opportunity to purchase a package featuring this beautiful beast. Alongside the 715 horsepower twin-turbo V12 DBS comes an Omega all-platinum Seamaster Diver 300M timepiece, also limited to a production number of seven. Furthermore, the package includes airfare to London to allow the lucky buyers to watch their new DBS roll off the assembly line and attend the premiere of the latest installment of Bond films, No Time to Die.
The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is a ferocious powerhouse. The twin-turbo V12 pumps 715 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque through its lightning-quick transmission. This power translates to a 0-60 time of merely 3.4 seconds. Yahoo Finance points out that the regular price point for a DBS Superleggera is $307, 820, giving these examples a lofty price increase comparatively. However, the included experiences and timepiece with the package certainly offset some of the sticker shock.
Furthermore, 12% of each of these packages sold will go to The Opportunity Network. They provide opportunities to underprivileged students with outstanding academic performance. Their goal is to expose them to career opportunities and tour colleges to fulfill their potential. Neiman Marcus states that their minimum donation will be $330,000.
Overall, these are extraordinary examples of the legendary sports car manufacturer. They have great potential to be a wise investment! Limited cars like this tend to appreciate over time. If the investment outlook isn’t for you, there’s no shame in that! This is an excellent opportunity to get your hands on a beautiful example of a fantastic performance car while doing something good for a deserving charity.
The package reservations opened on October 17. Only seven packages are available at $700,007 each, so act quickly!
