Aston Martin has released the DB12 Goldfinger Edition to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the movie Goldfinger
By ForGeeks It is 60 years since the release of the iconic James Bond film, “Goldfinger”, which marked the beginning of a long partnership between the franchise and Aston Martin. To celebrate this milestone, the company has unveiled a special DB12 Goldfinger Edition, created by the Q car personalization division.

Design inspired by the iconic DB5 from the movie
The DB12 Goldfinger Edition inherits features from the iconic DB5 that appeared in the 1964 movie. Let’s start with the classic silver paint scheme, similar to the signature color Silver Birch used on the Bond car. The uniqueness of the model is emphasized by gold accents on the side air intakes, as well as the exclusive Aston Martin logo in silver with black enamel.
The car received 21-inch silver wheels that complement the black brake calipers, creating a sleek and stylish look.
Interior: elegance and Bond references
The interior of the DB12 Goldfinger Edition also impresses with its details. The leather seats are decorated with quilting that echoes the design used on the original DB5, with perforations inspired by the Prince of Wales and his distinctive plaid suits, often worn by Bond. This pattern can be seen not only on the seats, but also on the door panels, ceiling and sills, where there is also an inscription marking a special version commemorating the 60th anniversary of “Goldfinger.”

Additional exclusive elements include 18-karat gold on some controls and gold fibers woven into the carbon fiber. The driver’s visor is embroidered with the Eight of Hearts symbol, a reference to the famous Miami pool scene from the movie where the map appeared.
Limited Edition and Exclusivity
Although this model doesn’t have spy gadgets like some other Aston Martin editions for Bond fans, the company has added them to its special editions more than once. A few years ago, replicas were released Bond’sDB5 with rotating license plates, a smoke screen system, and other signature gadgets.
Only 60 examples of the DB12 Goldfinger Edition will be produced, making this model a true exclusive. Availability and pricing information for the US market has not yet been announced.
