The annual Paris Motor Show is almost here & excitement is brewing.

If you’re in Europe, a stop at the show is a must as it’ll be the place to see & be seen, with plenty of sweet rides & hot women to drool over.

Also worth drooling over will be the Aston Martin stand, where the company will be debuting their drop-top version of the V8 Vantage N420, the successor to the company’s 2007 special edition V8 Vantage N400.

Aston Martin are stirring up a lot of excitement about their new hypercar the One-77 by releasing some seriously impressive stats about the car’s performance.

The hypercar produces 750 horsepower & 553 lb-ft of torque from its 7.3-liter V-12 engine. That makes it the most powerful naturally aspirated road car engine in existence!

Of course, the One-77′s impressive stats are equally matched by its luxury & exclusivity: only 77 cars will be produced & apparently one un-named buyer has already ordered 10 out of that 77.

In anticipation of 007 Quantum of Solace, Alchemist is releasing an Aston Martin Gold Leaf “Premium Bond” DB7. The Aston Martin DB7 has 24 carat gold leaf on the body, aside from the bumpers as gold isn’t all that durable, and the gold leaf is mixed with platnium for longevity. The custom car maker Alchemist is debuting the 007 “Premium Bond” car at London’s MPH car show next week. How is the car related to 007 beyond being used in one of the films? How about seven diamonds attched to the body to commemorate the release of Quantum of Solace.

Your opportunity is almost here to feel like James Bond. Come December, Swiss Watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre is releasing the AMVOX2 DBS Transponder, a luxury timepiece that doubles as a key-less entry remote for the V12 Aston Martin DBS.

On the AMVOX2, an integrated transponder circuit allows the driver to open his door by pressing in between the 8 and 9 o’clock position on the watch glass and close the door by pressing in between 3 and 4 o’clock. Design elements on the AMVOX2 match the instrument panel on the DBS, from the gray bridges to the satin finish and the black dial. A suspended gray DBS symbol and a discrete Aston Martin emblem on the movement indicator further enhance the design on the AMVOX2 DBS Transponder.

Priced at €27.500 (app. $40,400), Jaeger-LeCoultre’s key-less entry watch is guaranteed to make the $262,000 DBS a more appealing option to new buyers.
