An Aston Martin DB10 has been sold for an impressive £2.4 million (~$3.5 million USD) at Christie’s auction house in London, beating expectations by more than a million dollars.
The DB10 was prominently featured in the latest James Bond film, Spectre, culminating a half century of collaboration since the iconic DB5 first appeared in Goldfinger.
The auctioned car is the only DB10 example to be offered for public sale, and one of just 10 examples ever built. Each vehicle was hand-built by a team of craftspeople and engineers at Aston’s Gaydon headquarters in the UK. Most were used for filming, save for two show cars.
Despite serving as a film prop, the DB10 was built with a 4.7-liter V8 capable of launching the coupe to 190 mph. None of the production cars were certified for street use, and the auction winner will likely keep the car tucked away in a collection.
Funds from the auction will be donated to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders.
