2008 Aston Martin DBS: James Bond's Quantum of Solace Car

Since it's the opening weekend to the highly anticipated 007's Casino Royale sequel, I figured it would be a good time to show you the Mr. Bond's new car.


This Ultra high-performance vehicle is built with a V12 engine capable of a cool 510 HP and 420 lbs. of torque, with a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds. Unfortunately, the consumer version of the car won't come with a defibrillator or a silenced weapon compartment. The movie studios also had to make some modifications, such as raising the suspension and strengthening and weakening certain body parts for the crash scenes. The version that you can drive will not handle like the ones in the movie...



Yes, that is a $265,000 Aston Martin DBS being pulled out of a lake with a crane. If you do end up spending a quarter of a million dollars on a car, by all means, enjoy it. Just don't enjoy it that much...

Quantum of Solace is entertaining at least... a fantastic job with the styling and picture quality, but the movie as a whole could stand to lose six or seven fewer chase scenes
