Looks like our Jamie boy's favorite brand Aston Martin will now attract buyers in North India as well. The first of its showroom opened in Mumbai in April 2011. According to brand's global sales manager, Andy Gawthorpe, the Indian market has got huge potential for quality product like Aston Martin, and because of the increased awareness regarding its legacy, the market stand may be expected to be great.

Keeping in mind the car's connection with the most classy spy on earth, the launch event did have the anticipated chase sequence from the Quantum of Solace movie, with Daniel Craig pressing the pedals of the Aston Martin DBS. Gawthorpe stated that even the coming chapter in the James Bond series, Skyfall, has him riding the brand(literally and metaphorically). So huge marketing opportunities could be thought of when the movie has its stint with Indian audiences.

The price tags on various Aston Martins are in the range of $360,000-$800,000, that amounts for INR 18million- 40million, and are made available through the New Delhi showroom partner, Select Cars. Whether or not these hot wheels have their way on the Indian Roads shall be found out pretty soon!
