Leaning heavy on nostalgia, the Speedback looks a lot like the famous Aston Martin DB5 that James Bond first drove in the 1964 film "Goldfinger."

Under the hood is a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 putting out 601 horsepower and 565 pound-feet of torque.

Power goes to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.

Inside is all the leather you could want.

Behind the driver and passenger is a folding "event seat." A bit of a misnomer as it's for storage rather than people.

Aeronautical-inspired air vents are a decidedly retro design element.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
