Aston Martin only built 10 of the new DB10s for the James Bond flick Spectre and seven were reportedly destroyed during filming. But now you can own this rare machine.

Most of the cars were modified for filming, but two 'show' cars were left untouched and one will go under the hammer at Christie's auction house in London Feb. 18. The minimum price has been set at $2 million – which is a lot of dry martinis.

"Celebrating the great British brand's half-century with Bond, which started with the iconic DB5, the DB10 gives a glimpse of the future design direction for the next generation of Aston Martins," reads a statement by Aston Martin.

The DB10 is powered by a 4.7-litre V-8 engine with a six-speed manual gearbox – similar to the V8 Vantage – and has a top speed of 305 km/h. However, it can't be driven on public roads. It has an all carbon-fibre exterior while the interior has been made using "fine luxury leathers, carbon fibre and aluminum."

The car up for auction has also been signed by James Bond actor Daniel Craig. Proceeds of the auction will go to Doctors Without Borders.

If the DB10 is too pricey for your budget, the auction will also include a watch (estimated to fetch $24,000) and sunglasses (estimated to fetch $6,500).
