    Aston Martin On Her Majesty’s Secret Service DBS Superleggera Special Edition Revealed

    Aston Martin has close ties with James Bond considering 007 tends to choose the marque’s grand tourers as his main form of transport so this week they decided to reveal the ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service DBS Superleggera special edition‘, marking the 50th anniversary of the sixth Bond film.

    Dubbed the ‘OHMSS’ edition for short, the special DBS Superleggera sports a spec inspired by the 1969 Aston Martin DBS that 007 drove in the film.

    Externally you will notice carbon-fibre components for the front splitter and ‘aero blade’, special diamond-turned alloy wheels, a bespoke metal grille up front with six horizontal vanes, Olive Green exterior paint, body-coloured cantrails and roof, along with commemorative side strakes.

    Inside, there is pure black leather with grey Alcantara accents, a nod to the original movie car, and red accents throughout the cabin which is said to be inspired by the red-trimmed glovebox in the original car that held 007’s telescopic sight rifle.

    Power remains the same which means you get a healthy 533 kW of twin-turbo V12 power and 900 Nm of torque.

    “Creating a James Bond special edition is always an exciting challenge as we work to create a car that embodies the legend of James Bond, and the original movie car. The DBS Superleggera is a muscular car that commands attention, but the Olive Green gives it a subtlety that belies the beast beneath,” said Marek Reichman, vice president and chief creative officer for Aston Martin.

    They will be building just 50 units of this edition with a price starting from
    £300,007 (note the cheeky 007). This would equate to about R7.5 million making it almost R2 million more than the regular DBS Superleggera.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
