This article explores the history of James Bond's iconic cars, highlighting both the legendary vehicles and the less impressive ones. It delves into the technical aspects, design choices, and cultural impact of these automobiles, revealing the stories behind their selection and usage in the Bond universe.
James Bond has had the keys to some amazing cars over the years, but some didn't make the mark - we take a look at them all. He has taken his choice of company car almost as seriously as his choice of hand gun, champagne and, er, companion.
So it’s far from reassuring to see just how many, let’s look a little closer at the motors behind the myths to see which, if any, really are worthy of the attentions of the world’s least secret agent – and we also suggest some he missed, and take a look at some the villains used too:. Whisper this, but the ‘blower’ Bentley wasn’t a very good car even when it was new in 1929, let alonewhen Bond got his driving gloves on it. Even WO Bentley hated it, saying to supercharge one of his cars was'to pervert its design and corrupt its performance.' It never won an important race, largely because it broke down a lot. Slow and cumbersome too with that vast Amherst Villiers supercharger slung out in front. It was a terrible choice for Bond in all aspects save its appearance. Which you couldn’t see in a book. The DB5 is not quite as good as its legend would have you believe. Indeed I’d suggest that were it not for its starring role in, it would now be regarded merely as one of Aston’s better efforts. What it has in its favour are those landmark looks, a classic interior and a pleasantly characterful engine. It is not, dating as it does from an era when Aston Martin had progressed away from thoroughbred, race-proven sports cars it designed in the 1950s, to gentler, softer, more touring oriented cars. Wonderful to park outside the. The 2.0-litrewas too tall to squeeze comfortably into its cosy confines, a problem they solved by simply sawing the roof off to turn it into a terminally cool convertible. Sadly this is likely also to have had a. In reality however it was also plagued with teething troubles and somewhat inexact in its construction standard
