Although it remains recognizable as an Aston Martin and even as a DB9, the DB10 sports a completely redesigned body shell that blends new features and familiar trademark cues as well. Both the sloping hood and the large front grille seen on the DB9 are present on the DB10, but the latter now incorporates the lower air dam for a more aggressive appearance. When viewed from the side, the DB10 showcases a crisper design with beefy front wheel arches, muscular shoulders and deeply sculpted sills with carbon-fiber side skirts. The front fenders keep the trademark vent with upper chrome trim, but the crease is now deeper compared to the DB9’s and extends toward the door. The cabin has also been reshaped, sitting lower for a sleek appearance and sporting a smaller quarter-glass area.
The DB10 design was led by Aston Martin's chief creative officer Marek Reichman, with the film's director Mendes working closely with the team. Aston Martin stated that "the DB10 gives a glimpse to the future design direction for the next generation of Aston Martins."
Aston Martin had released few of the technical details of the car, but they have revealed that it will feature the company's 6-speed manual transmission unit that is used on their V8-engined cars. The car's chassis is based on a modified version of the VH Platform that underpins the V8 Vantage. However the DB10 has a longer wheelbase and is nearly as wide as the One-77. It is powered by the Vantage's 4.7 L V8 engine.
