5 things you did not know about James Bond's Aston Martin

Mark Aston Martin and James Bond are connected with each other without interruption. But, as in any relationship, there are secrets here. What can you tell us about the car of a special agent?

Missing engine

In the film "In the Service of Her Majesty," agent 007 drives a DBS model. At the end of the film, it was in this green six-cylinder car, known for its minimalist interior design, that Bond's bride was shot. But many did not notice that the same model appeared in the movie "Diamonds Forever". The car was in the background, it was installed a device for launching missiles. Surprisingly, it looked as if the device completely took up space under the hood. Where, then, is the engine?

Winning cooperation

Automobile concern never had to pay for the appearance of cars in Bond tapes. On the contrary, when it took several machines to shoot the Goldfinger, the producer of the film, Albert Broccoli, had to buy them. After the film became incredibly successful, the benefits of advertising became apparent to the owners of Aston Martin and since then the cars for filming have been provided for free. The situation has not changed now.

Not that machine

When the next part of the Bond was released, "Skyfoll", fans noted that Bond returned to using his iconic model DB5. There were rumors that during the filming of the car exploded. But, despite the same registration number, the machine used for filming was not the same one used earlier. Yes, it's a green Aston Martin with a brown leather interior, but the model was just made to reproduce the old Bond car with maximum precision.

Important role

The DBS model became the world record holder in terms of the number of coups per shot. The car turned over seven times in the tape "Casino Royale."

Is it necessary to go so fast?

A significant scene with the participation of Aston Martin is considered to be the race from the Golden Eye. Model DB5 perfectly rivaled in the scene with the Ferrari F355.
