Shaken & Stirred: The Cars of James Bond

Maybe no fictional character over the last 50 years has had the staying power of James Bond. Through 21 feature films (with a 22nd on the way for 2008), Bond has proven harder to kill then all the famed movie monsters put together. The combination of the suave secret agent and renowned lady killer with the latest technological gadgets in an attempt to save the world from the bad guys has made the Bond films popular over several generations. Maybe the single most identifiable and popular Bond prop over the years (other than the lovely ladies, of course) has been the Bond car. Some, like the Aston Martin DB5, appeared in six different Bond films, and others, like the Lotus Esprit S1 only appeared in a single film, but they all had that magical mystique that only a Bond car can have. Let’s take a look at some of the most famous Bond cars over the years.

Pretty lame list.

The BMW Z3 in Goldeneye had like what? 15 seconds of showtime before it was never seen again.

To me, a Bond car is a car that he drove around in in various JB movies. So that means Aston Martin and Lotus ONLY to me.

How long did it take you to put that together?

The best James Bond car of course was the DB5. I first saw Goldfinger about 10 year after it came out but was impressed nevertheless.

Though I have to say no James Bond car impressed me as much as the BMW 750il in Tommorow Never Dies. It wasn't close to being the most flamboyant or best looking Bond car, but they're still are yet to top that car gadget wise.

Best looking bond car's have to be the Aston's.
