Stumbled upon this old thread and the posts were mostly about Aston Martin's only, which is undoubtedly the quintessential Bond car. But there are many more cars that have appeared on screen as Bond cars over the years. So I tried to make a post on some famous bond cars.

1. The first James Bond car – Sunbeam Alpine Series II.



The first car used by James Bond was a Sunbeam Alpine Series II in lake blue colour. (Movie: Dr. No)

The Sunbeam Alpine Series II is a two-seater sports drophead coupé produced by British automobile manufacturer Rootes Group from 1959 to 1968. The car had a 1.6 litre 4 cylinder engine producing 80 bhp.

2. Bentley Mark IV

This was Bond's second car. (Movie: From Russia with Love).

The Bentley Mark IV was a drophead model produced by Bentley Motors. The car was powered by a 3.5 litre, inline 6 cylinder engine with a power output of roughly 110 bhp.

3. Aston Martin DB5

The DB5 is a British luxury grand router (GT) that was made by Aston Martin in 1963. The car was powered by a 4 litre, inline 6 cylinder engine making 282 bhp and 390 Nm with a top speed of 230 kmph. The car used in the the movie, is now located in the Louwman Museum, Netherlands.

4. Toyota 2000 GT

Known as Japan's first supercar, the Toyota 2000 GT was the obvious car of choice for the movie You Only Live Twice, that was set primarily in Japan.

The Toyota 2000GT is a limited-production, front-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-seat, hardtop coupé grand tourer designed by Toyota in collaboration with Yamaha. The car is powered by a 2.0 litre inline 6 cylinder engine producing 150 bhp. A total of 351 models were produced, making it a very rare car. The 2000 GT was actually a hardtop coupé, but Toyota made modifications to produce a special open top version just for the film.

5. Aston Martin DBS

The Aston Martin DBS appeared in the Bond Movie –On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

The Aston Martin DBS is a grand tourer produced by the British manufacturer Aston Martin from 1967 to 1972. It was powered by a 4 litre, straight-six engine, with a power output of 280 bhp and 390 Nm.

6. Ford Mustang Mach 1

Mustang Mach 1 was used by James Bond in the movie Diamonds are Forever.

The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a performance-oriented option package of the Ford Mustang, originally introduced by Ford in August 1968 as a package for the 1969 model year. The car was powered by a 5.8 litre V8 engine with power output of 250 bhp and 481 Nm.

7. AMC Hornet X Hatchback

James Bond drives the AMC Hornet in the movie The Man with the Golden Gun. In the film's landmark stunt, Bond spots an old collapsed bridge and does a 360 degree barrel roll over the river.

The ORIGINAL cars used in all the 24 James Bond movies including the Rolls Royces, Aston Martins with the ejector seats, missiles/ rockets, the Lotus that went underwater, bikes, flying machines and other artefacts that were actually used are on display at the London Film Museum.

They have been loaned to the museum by the film studio.

Those interested in seeing the James Bond cars in original should make a visit the London Film Museum - it's worth it.

A short video on the displays in the museum:

James Bond Goes Green, Will Reportedly Drive The Aston Martin Rapide E!

Aston Martin and James Bond have a long history together and it appears that connection will continue in the 25th Bond film tentatively known as “Shatterhand.”

Little is known about the upcoming movie, but is reportedly said will feature a special Aston Martin.

The publication says the car is the limited edition Rapide E which is slated to be delivered to customers in the fourth quarter of this year. That could be a bit of an issue as Shatterhand reportedly begins filming next month.

The Rapide E will become Aston Martin’s first electric vehicle and it will have a 65 kWh lithium-ion battery park. It will power two electric motors that develop a combined output in excess of 602 hp (449 kW / 610 PS) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque. The company believes this setup will enable the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in less than four seconds, before hitting a top speed of approximately 155 mph (250 km/h).
