Aston Martin DBS — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
Hot Wheels’ Aston Martin DBS casting depicts the 2007–2012 DBS V12 grand tourer. John Violette’s 1:64 casting first appeared in 2010; later releases include mainline colors, themed multipacks and James Bond movie editions. HWC Garage lists 17 DBS editions from 2010–2026. This guide also covers three documented wheel variations: a maroon V5399 10-spoke version from Target holiday packs, plus teal V5590 chrome Trap5 and 10-spoke versions found in 9-packs. The family web links all 20 release and variation guides.
The Casino Royale releases are especially easy to mix up with regular DBS cars. Start with the toy code and packaging series, then compare the finish, wheels and film branding.
The DBS casting
This casting represents Aston Martin’s front-engine, V12-powered DBS coupe. The long hood, compact cabin and low rear deck give it a different profile from the later One-77 and Vantage castings. In Hot Wheels form, the same basic body appears in standard mainline releases, multipacks, themed series and entertainment packages.
The family catalog lists 17 edition records. Three additional guides separate documented wheel versions that share toy numbers with those entries: maroon V5399 with 10-spoke wheels from Target holiday packs, teal V5590 with chrome Trap5 wheels from 9-packs, and teal V5590 with 10-spoke wheels from 9-packs.
Variation web: 17 cataloged releases and three documented wheel variations
Compare year, toy code, series and visible details. HWC Garage lists 17 cataloged model editions. The separate V5590 guide covers the teal 10-spoke version documented in 9-packs. It shares the toy number with the teal Faster Than Ever FTE2 release but has a different wheel configuration. The maroon X6999 is the car documented in the Target Valentine’s 5-Pack.

2026 · JHW36How to identify a DBS release
Read the toy number from the base or card where possible. Then match it to the series: R6459 is the international 2010 HW Premiere release, R7549 is the 2010 All Stars entry, and the 2012 V5399 belongs to Faster Than Ever. Later packaging identifies Casino Royale and other themed releases. The two 2012 V5590 records should be compared by their own page evidence; a shared number is not enough to conclude the cars are identical.
Photos can shift silver, gray and maroon paint tones. Look for the wheel design and interior color as well as body color when the records provide those details.
Physical details and condition
On loose cars, inspect the front grille, hood edges, wheel faces, axles and small front/rear tampo details. For Bond editions, check that the 007 and movie graphics match the card and toy code. For multipack cars, the original package may not identify the exact release as clearly as the base code.
Compare completed sales only after matching the toy code, series and condition. Carded and loose examples are not like-for-like, and the same casting can vary considerably across themed editions. This guide does not assign a price without matched sold examples.
