Aston Martin is to build its new luxury car in south Wales, creating 750 highly-skilled jobs.
The DBX car will be hand-made in a super hangar at St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan.
It is a major coup for Wales, which took two years to secure the deal ahead of 20 locations across the world.
As well as attracting one of motoring's most prestigious names, it is expected to create about 1,000 jobs with suppliers and local business.
Aston Martin chief executive Andy Palmer called it a "momentous day for Wales" at a news conference in Cardiff on Wednesday.
The development will include a skills academy, which will make St Athan and the Vale of Glamorgan a centre of excellence.
Work on the factory will start in 2017 and production will start three years later.

If you're talking about a Welshman who they *WANTED* to play Bond, I believe that would have been Tom Jones.Gob wrote:Quick quiz, no googling;

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
Re: Aston Martin look you butty
Nope, the Welsh James Bond.
No more clues.
Jim may get this one, or Daisy, they're fans.
