Here's how 007's Aston Martin DB5 came back for 'No Time to Die'
Secrets from vehicle supervisor Chris Corbould
James Bond would be so proud.
Aston Martin will reveal its next model on May 24, the brand has confirmed.
It will be the successor to the current DB11 grand tourer, but the company says "grand is not enough" to describe it.
Shadowy teaser images released indicate that it is an update of the DB11, rather than an all-new car, but Aston Martin said it heralds "the start of the ultra-luxury British brand’s next generation."

Stroll said the V12 is "synonymous with the brand," so it could return with the new model, even as the brand prepares to launch its first electric model, which will replace the V12-powered Vantage in 2025.
