I think I have noticed something that has hasn’t beenmentioned yet about the DB10. I think its amphibious.
There are no shut lines on the front bonnet (allowingsmoother flow of water over the bonnet perhaps) and the light cluster positionseems to be very low down the bonnet front (important for visibility purposesin deeper water).
Furthermore the rear diffuser extends very high up the rearbumper which could suggest some form of water propulsion in that area.
Its been a very long time since a Bond car has gone underwater.Last time it was the Lotus Espirit being driven by Roger Moore. Goingunderwater would be a change from the usual guns, bombs and crashes that accompanymost Bond car scenes.

So the new Quartermaster is just going to make exploding pens and such? Boring!
I know as a kid, seeing an Esprit turn into a sub fueled my desire to own one (or several, actually) later in life.

Bond & DB10
I am equally disappointed with the looks of the new DB10 (Ftype rip off) as I am with the watering down of the Bond plots! Huge James Bond all along of course.
I don't want the corny stuff but you have to keep things in the Bond movies that make them Bond. If you look at the last release... you drop out the string of women he sleeps with, the cool gadgets, the wit, the cool car WITH Q branch mandatory mods... (they even had the nerve to destroy his trademark DB5... wtf?) and you are left with a disappointing knock off run of the mill action movie. I think the Bourne movies are now better...
Similar to be said for the DB10. Imagine paying $200k for a car with knock off looks? I can recall the years when the Jag & AM had far too much in common looks wise... seems like we are headed back there.
On an up note... Hopefully "The Kingsman" movie coming out soon fixes this glitch... Interesting to see what they drive.
