Aston Martin DB10 Spectre Experience - Neil Layton and Rob Hunt Pod Car

This week HeyUGuys were invited along to Millbrook Testing Ground, Bedfordshire, to see first hand some of the Aston Martin DB10s which took part in the filming of the latest 007 encounter, SPECTRE.

We got to test-drive the Vantage V12S on Millbrook’s “high speed bowl” where the track top speed was 130mph. We also drove the Vanquish Coupe, which like the others comes powered by a 6 litre V12 engine, which Bond fans will remember from Casino Royale.

We then got our hands on the Aston Martin DB10. In this video you'll see how the DB10 was driven in the film - dubbed the “pod car”: a pod with a driver on top, and the car (as ‘driven’ by Daniel Craig for the film’s Rome car chase scenes), underneath.

We interviewed Neil Layton who designed and built the pod modification, Rob Hunt, the stuntman who drove this most unusual of props through the Rome streets, and Mark Higgins, Daniel Craig’s stunt double in the last 3 James Bond outings.
