Aston Martin Rapide: 007 new ride paint colors include ‘Silver Blonde’ and ‘Quantum Silver’
James Bond doesn’t have to settle for only one Bond girl now. He can ride in style with three passengers in his Aston Martin Rapide and still chase the bad guys with a powerful V12… The British is finally banking on its 007 fame by introducing colors inspired by the famous spy. 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
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

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. Thanksfully, the driver suffers only minor injuries, which is crazy considering how badly damaged the car is. It’s painful to see such a beautiful car get smashed, but when you see what these guys do with them when filming, it’s... 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
