In the
true tradition of Bond, full details of the car to be used in
“Casino Royale” are being kept top secret but the company did
confirm that it would be a new model called the Aston Martin DBS.
Dr. Ulrich Bez said: “It is great news that Bond will drive an
Aston Martin again and we have built him something special to enable
him to do his job in style.”
The association with the marque began in 1964 with the film
“Goldfinger” when the DB5 was fitted with “optional extras”
such as ejector seats and rockets. The last Bond film, “Die
Another Day”, featured Aston Martin’s flagship model, the
Vanquish.
