James Bond crashes yet another Aston Martin
Once again, a DBS met its maker on a James Bond shooting. Following the several ones destroyed during the rollover scene in Casino Royale and the one which wasn’t supposed to take a fatal bath in the Lake Garda on the set of Quantum of Solace, the much desired vehicle hit a stone wall in a quarry for what will be the climax of the chase in the upcoming movie. For good measure, the bad guy’s vehicle is also destroyed in the scene, which MI6 describes as follow: Bond... Read More

Smart car to be the next A-Team van?
Yesterday, we told you about the A-Team movie, scheduled for 2009. So when we found this lovely Smart car, we thought the producers had blown a fuse. Don’t worry too much though. Turned out it’s just the job of a dedicated (and talented) fan. Look at the details: the rims, the paint (with the right black-red-grey scheme), the roof spoiler…. It’s perfect! Just need a tiny version of Mr.T to drive it…. It will go very well next the “Smartinor”... Read More

digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/03/24/james-bond-to-drive-a-ford-ka-in-quantum-of-solace/'; Rest assured, we’re not talking about his real ride. As we stated before (read James Bond in the carpool lane), the Aston Martin DBS from Casino Royale will come back for the lead. But, just like in this previous movie with the Ford Mondeo, there’s a need for second roles. For Ford and the producers, it means there’s a need for product placement… The... Read More

Bond’s couch
The guys at Aston Martin Heritage Design, who typically create custom parts for the famous British cars, used their craftsmanship on something more unusual: a couch shaped as a DB6 rear end. It’s all handmade and would probably please hard-core Bond fans (we’ll pass, thank you). To be precise, even though the DB6 was visually similar to the DB5, only the latter was used in 007′s movies. The couch could be yours for $7,600, without the headrests or the ejection... Read More
