Aston Martin Rapide: 007 new ride paint colors include ‘Silver Blonde’ and ‘Quantum Silver’

Don’t expect “Goldfinger yellow” or “Dr. No red” though, but a delightful ‘Silver Blonde’ and a menacing ‘Quantum Silver’. Check out our... Read More

Sunday Ads: insane “Grace Jones” Citroen commercial

Back in the 80’s, when ad creators were tanned yuppies high on cocaine, they came up with that ad for the Citroen CX. The concept is pretty simple and totally normal and realistic: Grace Jones, at the time fresh out of James Bond and riding the charts with her songs, is seen driving the CX after a giant replica of her head spat it out.

James Bond stunt goes wrong: a DBS in lake Garda.

digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/23/james-bond-stunt-goes-wrong-a-dbs-in-lake-garda/'; While shooting a stunt for Quantum of Solace, the next Bond, the stuntman lost control of the Aston Martin DBS and ended up in the lake beyond.

As we stated before (read James Bond in the carpool lane), the Aston Martin DBS from Casino Royale will come back for the lead.
