Lotus Esprit - The Spy Who Loved Me

After Goldfinger, James Bond took the DB5 for another quick spin in Thunderball. For the next few films, the 'Q' branch didn't have much to offer in the way of feature packed cars. A brief drive in an Aston Martin DBS during 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' and a bit of 2 wheel driving in a Ford Mustang - then in 1977 things hotted up...

The Lotus Esprit was full of surprises..

Rear firing mud sprayers.
Full 'underwater' kit turning the car into a fully operative submarine.
Surface-to-air missiles used to end Naomi's helicopter ride.
Depth charges.
Underwater smoke screens
Torpedoes.

Lotus Esprit Turbo - For Your Eyes Only

Featuring the very best in anti-theft systems - a self-destruction device.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Volante
The Living Daylights

For the last few Roger Moore films, specialised cars were again sadly lacking. Once Timothy Dalton appeared in The Living Daylights, things were about to get back to normal.
Bond returned in an Aston Martin V8 Vantage along with a soft-topped Volante.
The car was equipped with 'laser guns' in the wheels, out-riggers for 'skiing', automatic, self inflating, spiked tyres, jet propulsion and the usual concealed guns.

BMW Z3 - GoldenEye

Bond returned in 1995 with a German set of wheels - although he only managed a short ride in the country before handing the car over to his American contact, Jack Wade.

BMW 750iL - Tomorrow Never Dies

'Q' delivered a lovely new BMW 750 to Bond and luckily had it fully insured for all eventualities.

Remote controlled from a cell phone, Bond spends a fair bit of time out of the car during the car chase. Fully loaded with weapons, Bond steers the car towards the roof..
The last time it was seen flying off the multi-storey, car park - straight into the 'Avis Rent-a-Car' showroom.

BMW Z8 - The World Is Not Enough

'Q' decided that for the third film in a row, Bond would be happy in a BMW.

His new BMW Z8 was equipped with the normal essentials, such as -

Remote control driving capabilities
Hidden rocket-firing ssystem in the car’s side vents.

Sadly, this car also ended up a 'write-off' when Electra sent her 'helicopter attached metal cutter' into battle.

Aston Martin V12 Vanquish - Die Another Day

For Bond's 20th adventure, he returned to an Aston Martin - and this one is more powerful and better equipped than any of his previous vehicles

Four grille mounted rockets along with two machine guns.
Two motion -sensing guns consealed under the bonnet.
Spiked tyres for ice driving.

Plus, just incase none of this gets you out of trouble, you can always flick a switch and become invisible!

Aston Martin DBS - Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace

Following the sucess of the Vanquish in Die Another Day, 007 gets use of Astons latest flying machine the DBS based on the DB for his missions in Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace.

The car has rather less gadgets than last time - equipped with a life saving defibrillator / medical kit and hidden gun the DBS relies on sheer power to keep Bond on the straight and narrow.

Sadly Mr Bond doesn't manage to keep his cars in good order for long!
