Of all of the “Bond” cars, it is still the Aston DB5 that is most closely associated with the 007. Not only did the car contain, what was at the time, the coolest batch of “Toys” ever seen in a film car, the DB5 was also one of the most beautiful cars ever built.In the most recent Bond flick, “Casino Royale,” not only does James get behind the wheel of the new super fast Aston Martin DBS, but he also wins a DB5 in a poker game.The DBS is essentially a DB9 on steroids. When you look at the stats for the DB9 it seems almost difficult to believe that a designer would think the auto needs more of anything, but the designers at Aston Martin pushed the car to true “Super Car” status when the created the limited addition DBS.If the rumors are correct it appears that Ford motor Co, will use their $100 million dollar, three-movie contract with “Bond” to promote their Jaguar division and the release of the Jaguar C-XF “concept car.”

The World's Most Beautiful Cars
Aston Martin DBS
Aston Martin's spectacular flagship coupe, the DBS (see specs), was styled under design chief Marek Reichman's watch but is another evolution of the landmark DB7 (see specs) penned by Ian Callum. Remarkably long, low, wide and voluptuous, its body work combines aluminum and carbon-fiber surfaces over an aluminum chassis. The DBS is powered by a 6.0-liter 510-horsepower V12 engine and has a top speed of 191 mph. It was Agent 007 James Bond's chosen ride in the movies "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace." The man has impeccable taste, indeed.
