Now that AM have worked out how to build them, how much would one cost if AM decided to launch them on the open market?

One has been sold.

Though that was in the film and doesn't look entirely road-legal.

So let's say AM could knock out production versions for the price of a DB12 - which would sell best...?

I don't know, but the only thing I can say with certainty, Is that Speedraser would not be a customer for any Aston Martin with a BMW straight 6 engine.

I am sure that you know about the 25 recreation DB5 cars.
With around 4,500 hours of construction, the prices were about £3 million each.
AML could not sell them as road legal, because cars of that period cannot meet modern manufacturer regulations, but after purchase, R-Reforged are the people who can help. Did you notice the ancient tubular space frame chassis?

Or buy a genuine DB5 at lower cost.

Who or what is Speedraser?

Oh you are a tease.

He is our American friend, who is passionate that AML must only use Aston Martin designed engines.

I have just had a thought.
I wonder if Speedraser refused to watch the No time to die film, because the DB5 stunt cars had BMW engines?
Refusal would presumably demonstrate true distain for hypocrisy.
