Aston martin DBS V12



Aston Martin DBS V12. It was destroyed in the opening scenes of the movie… honestly I don’t know how they could find the brass balls to destroy one of these. The DBS is one of the most beautiful cars in existence, totalling one for the sake of a movie is tantamount to punting a kitten as far as you can. The reality is they probably destroyed several more than one… somewhere in the universe a planet of puppies was just sucked into a black hole. Anyway it made for an excellent chase scene.
Bit of trivia: despite the Aston Martin being a quintisentially British car, James Bond actually drove a 1933 Bentely Convertible in the book version of Casino Royale. The trend of the films however, is to have 007 behind the wheel of an Aston Martin- personally.
