Aston Martin is celebrating the release of the 25th James Bond film, with two exclusive 007 special editions inspired by the cars featured in No Time to Die. This new collaboration between Aston Martin and EON Productions, the company that produces the James Bond films with Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios, delivers exciting new 007 editions of the Aston Martin Vantage and DBS Superleggera.

Exclusive new 007 Edition sports cars celebrate release of 25th James Bond film, No Time To Die

Brand’s bespoke division – Q by Aston Martin – creates two exclusive new models

The Vantage 007 Edition pays homage to The Living Daylights Aston Martin V8, and the DBS Superleggera 007 Edition showcases sumptuous No Time To Die specification

No Time To Die will be released around the world in November 2020 and will feature no fewer than four iconic Aston Martin sports cars: the iconic DB5; the classic Aston Martin V8; the brand’s latest super GT,  DBS Superleggera; and the exceptional Aston Martin Valhalla – the company’s forthcoming mid-engined hypercar.

The two special editions that celebrate the release of No Time To Die, each of which is being offered in limited numbers to buyers around the world from today, have been carefully designed and crafted by the experts in Aston Martin’s bespoke division: Q by Aston Martin. Aspiring to offer the ultimate in bespoke personalisation services, Q by Aston Martin delivers both carefully curated special editions such as these, as well as the opportunity for individual owners to embark on the creation of utterly individual sports cars via the Q by Aston Martin – Commission service.

The first of the two models is the Vantage 007 Edition, inspired by the original Aston Martin V8 which made its 007 debut in The Living Daylights in 1987 and also features in No Time to Die. The movie sees James Bond uncover the car from his personal lock-up in London.

Building on the formidable sporting style and aggressive performance of the regular Vantage, the new car features unique exterior styling treatments led by a bespoke mesh grille with chrome bezel that references the look of the brand’s classic V8. Further styling details include a dashed yellow diffuser inspired by the hazard stripes on the film car’s rockets. The Vantage 007 Edition can even be delivered with a set of The Living Daylights inspired limited edition skis and ski rack – referencing the ‘winterised’ V8 saloon from the film.

The car will be delivered in authentic Cumberland Grey exterior paint colour, whilst the interior will be presented in obsidian black leather and dark chrome with 007 branding applied on the centre console of cars equipped with a manual gearbox. The sun visors of all the cars will carry another subtle film reference in the shape of an embroidered radio station frequency – 96.60 (FM) – which 007 buffs will know was the Russian police frequency Bond used to aid his escape in The Living Daylights.

The seats themselves feature unique heritage fluting reminiscent of that seen in the V8, along with carbon fibre seat backs and, in a particularly detailed nod to the 1980s film, the outline of cello ‘f holes’ inspired by the memorable cello chase scene featuring James Bond (Timothy Dalton) and Kara Milovy (Maryam D’Abo).

The driver can indulge themselves further with a laser-etched gadget plaque that references the various weapons and devices seen on the original film car. These included a rocket motor, missiles, lasers, a targeting display and ski outriggers. Cross hairs etched onto the car’s paddle shift gear levers allude to the missile guidance system seen in the film, too. Available as a manual or automatic, the Vantage 007 Edition also boasts a side strake Vantage badge and is limited to 100 units globally.

Aston Martin Vice-President and Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, said: “Creating a 007 Edition is always an exciting challenge as we work to develop and style a car that embodies the legend of James Bond. It is an honour to apply carefully judged 007-inspired styling to our sports cars, which gives our customers the opportunity to own a unique piece of both cinematic and automotive history.”

To celebrate the James Bond debut of the range-topping Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, a second unique 007 Edition has been created. 

Strictly limited to just 25 production cars available worldwide and featuring the same specification as the muscular DBS Superleggera featured in the upcoming film, the car has a suitably menacing road presence.

The 715bhp provided by the DBS Superleggera’s 5.2-litre V12 twin-turbocharged engine is befitting of the car’s range-topping status while its torque peak, at 900Nm, is not only substantial in its own right but, as things currently stand, the greatest torque figure for any roadgoing Aston Martin yet produced.

To this potent mix, the DBS Superleggera 007 Edition adds a raft of styling and design enhancements that further elevate its appeal. The car sports special Ceramic Grey exterior paint with the roof, mirror caps, splitter, diffuser and rear Aeroblade IITM featured in black tinted carbon fibre. Also unique to the 007 Edition are visually striking Gloss Black diamond-turned Y-Spoke 21” wheels. This special edition also features a 007 fender badge, finished in chrome with a black enamel infill and Stainless Steel Silver 007 foil applied to the rear spoiler blade.

Inside, the cockpit of this DBS Superleggera is a dark, brooding, leather-clad environment with flashes of red detailing the outline of the seats. Subtle 007 branding can be found on the door cards, armrest buckle badge and on the rear sub-woofer cover. The car is finished with a sill plaque that recognises it is one of just 25 DBS Superleggera 007 Editions.

The DBS Superleggera 007 Edition with a recommended retail price from RRP £279,025 and the Vantage 007 Edition with a recommended retail price from RRP £161,000 are on sale separately now. First deliveries will begin in Q1 2021.

Geelong Library And Heritage Centre

The Geelong Library and Heritage Centre by ARM Architecture has an arresting exterior – eight storeys of crystalline shards of glass and minimalist disco-ball curves! The building sits on the same site as the two-storey library it has replaced, but ARM has re-visioned the library identity to serve the current and future needs of Geelong inhabitants. The sweeping dome takes direction from the historic dome of the State Library of Victoria (see below in this post!), with a contemporary and high-tech spin.

Bankstown Library and Knowledge Centre

The Bankstown Library and Knowledge Centre (BLaKC) by fjmt is located on the renovated site of the pre-exisiting Bankstown Town Hall. The architects worked to salvage the high quality timber, pre-cast concrete, aluminium and stainless steel of the original hall, and repurposed them into a new state-of-the-art community centre. The library wing runs across three levels, and sits alongside a landscaped public area. Grab a book, and enjoy the view!

Cobram Library And Learning Centre

The Cobram Library by CohenLeigh Architects in Victoria is directly informed by the location and community in which it sits. The architects worked with local community stakeholders to develop a design that echoes the form of the local Murray River in the external timber battened screen. This curtaining element casts shifting shadows into the library space. A central pathway runs through the library, and the wooden panel ceiling spine connects the private reading and communal working zones. A new technology area has been introduced alongside library, reading, and community spaces, to reflect the needs and interests of the Cobram residents. There is something SO elegantly Australian about this library, where the curves of the Murray River welcome readers into the community focused civic space.

Yes, that is a hanging garden inside a library! Welcome to Woollahra.  Photo – John Gollings.

Woollahra Library

The Woollahra Library by BVN is the library that prompted this round up, after Lucy joined Sydney stylist Megan Morton in one of the library’s meeting rooms for a podcast recording! Tucked into the Blackburn Gardens and overlooking Double Bay, the Woollahra Library brings the surrounding nature into the bookish space. Organic shapes and hanging gardens create an inviting and calming environment, and since the library has been updated, over 4000 new members have joined, and daily visitation has jumped from 400 to 2500.

In addition to stunning silent zones and reading nooks, The Woollahra library also features an Automated Returns Room where you can watch books being automatically sorted (so soothing!), and a secret doorway halfway up the timber stair that opens onto a curving slippery dip, delivering kids to a cosy reading corner!

Caulfield Library

The Caufield Library at Monash University, Caufield by John Wardle Architects transforms a brutalist brick and concrete library into a light filled and inviting space for students. The original 1970 building has been reoriented to welcome students into the space, and opened up to reveal the structure and frame. A central atrium draws light into the depths of the library, and seating capacity has been increased from 746 to 1572, with plenty of power points to charge dwindling laptops!

The external renovations are equally striking, as a glass, steel and mesh canopy provides a ‘shade house’ and transitions between the outside and inside. Unsurprisingly, this library won the Australian Library and Information Association Academic Library Design Award, 2019 – university life never seemed so appealing!

Bunjil Place Library

The Bunjil Place Library by fjmt studio draws on indigenous Boom Wurrung themes of the ‘meeting of many paths’ to create a sinuous design scheme of flowing organic forms. The ground floor of the library acts as an extension of the community foyer, as an invitation to all. High ceilings and mezzanine floors provide a sense of civic grandeur, while dedicated kids and youth areas, gaming suites and collaborative areas make it a welcoming library for everyone to enjoy.

Surry Hills Library

Yes, this is the third library by fjmt on our list – they are clearly Australia’s library whisperers! The Surry Hills site incorporates a library, resource centre, community and child centre, with a public park and raised grass platform. The library encompasses the ground and lower floor, with open views out to the surrounding landscaped play areas. The tapered glass atrium creates transparent prism, with the intention that this openness will encourage participation. The library balances monumentality with community engagement – a truly civic building!

  State Library of Victoria

The State Library of Victoria is the kind of library your brain conjures when you think of a library! It is a large traditional civic institution, that is equally imposing and inspiring. The library is currently undergoing a massive renovation for the 2020 Vision  designed by Architectus and Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects – but before this transformation is complete, there is plenty of celebrate in the history of this iconic Melbourne space.

Designed by Joseph Reed, the library opened its doors to the public in 1956 with free admission to any one over 14 years of age with clean hands! It is the oldest and busiest public library in Australia, and is now home to over 5.1 million items. Over 5000 people visit the SLV a day, and for anyone who has ever spent time traipsing around during SWOTVAC looking for a seat – the new renovation will see public space increase by 40% and seating by 70%. Until then, the Dome Room is hard to beat for a work location, so get there early to secure a spot.
