Last year, Aston Martin announced it would be opening a new manufacturing facility in Wales to expand production for its evolving fleet of British sports cars. In order to celebrate the new factory, the automaker has put together a wild video containing $83 million worth of special, vintage Aston Martins, and it looks like a hell of a good time.

The video starts off with two of Aston's factory drivers, Nick Thiim and Darren Turner, along with Chief Engineer Matt Becker, sneaking a few Aston Martins into the new facility. Once inside, the trio is greeted to some of Aston's most famous creations-everything from the legendary DBR1 to James Bond's DB5. They even play with the tiny Cygnet city car. Remember that thing?.

What follows is an epic montage of sliding and fun, something we as outsiders might see once in a lifetime from these classic gems. Yes, it's very clearly an advertisement to hype up fans of the brand, but it's just too cool not to share.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the multi-million dollar drifting.
