The Aston Martin DB10 is no slouch. Aston Martin Aston Martin and James Bond go hand-in-hand, ever since Sean Connery stepped into the iconic DB5 over 50 years ago. The legacy continues in "Spectre," the latest bond film starring Daniel Craig and directed by Sam Mendes.

The car, an Aston Martin DB10, was designed by Marek Reichman, which Mendes described as "the first cast member," according to carmagazine.com. Aston Martin actually tied the unveiling of the new model, which succeeds the Vanquish, to "Spectre," showing it off at the official press launch event for the film.

According to Aston Martin, the car represents "the future design direction" of the sports car makers brand, by taking cues from older models — such as the V8 Vantage — and combining them with new, risk-taking styles.

"Spectre" is released on October 26 in the UK.
