Bond’s New Car?

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

As long as there have been Bond films there have been Dream Cars connected with the films. It is impossible to think of either James Bond or Aston Martin with out thinking about the other.

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.”
