To mark the release of the latest James Bond flick, ‘Spectre’, Aston Martin is showing off its super-exclusive Aston Martin DB9 GT Bond Edition, of which only 150 were built in the entire world.
One of them is in Indonesia, but before you think even think of going out and buying it, you should know the car already has an owner.
Unlike James Bond – who willingly reveals his identity to the ladies and even to his enemies in the movies (which always struck us as odd considering he’s supposed to be a spy) – the identity of the car’s owner is a closely guarded secret.
“In the whole world, there are only 150 units of Aston Martin DB9 GT [Bond Edition] and 15 of them are in the Asia-Pacific. One of those 15 is in Indonesia and is owned by an Indonesian. Sorry, the identity of the owner can’t be revealed,” said Irmawan Poedjoadi, CEO of Aston Martin Jakarta at the car’s reveal event yesterday, as quoted by Antara.
At least the owner was nice enough to have his car paraded around in front of the press and car enthusiasts for a while.
It’s reported that the car is priced at 165,000 British pounds (~RP 3.4 billion not including the massive taxes they should be paying on it). We certainly hope the car’s an automatic chick magnet for that kind of price tag, because the owner certainly isn’t going to be able to drive it at full speed on any of Indonesia’s roads.
If you don’t want to spend that much on a car but would still like to see it on the big screen, ‘Spectre’ opens in Indonesian cinemas today.
