A famous person should have the most luxury car... This is especially true of a super agent, a man who has conquered many beautiful women. This is a well-known British intelligence spy. The James Bond cars should be listed. The list can be overwhelming, so it's best to describe only the most popular models. Let's move on to the rating of spy cars.
The very first car of a super agent
Not everyone, probably, remembers the very first saga about the adventures of the famous spy of British intelligence. This is the movie "Doctor No", which was released in 1962. The main role was played by actor Sean Connery. The James Bond car used in this picture is certainly not that popular compared to other cars, but it is the first. Moreover, an intelligence agent simply cannot get behind the wheel of a bad vehicle. Accordingly, the 1961 Sunbeam Alpine is in 10th position.
Fan-loved model
In 1995, a film called "Golden Eye" was released. The agent was Pierce Brosnan. The car he drove in this film became quite popular. A queue of buyers lined up to him. Accordingly, this car was sold without the help of dealers and showrooms. This is due to the good publicity provided by the new famous spy saga. The 9th position is occupied by such a James Bond car as the BMW Z3. It should be noted, however, that among the car buyers were mainly Bond fans.

He amazed not only the Bond fans, but the rest of the drivers as well. The experts were also satisfied. This James Bond car was named the most beautiful car in the world auto industry. So, on the 8th position is the BMW Z8. For some, this model has become a confusion of new and old trends in automotive industry... Fans of the 507 series, on the basis of which the Bond car was modeled, reacted negatively to the appearance of the Z8. And for the fans, this model has become luxurious.

And in seventh position is a James Bond car like the Ford Mustang Mach I. It should be noted right away that this is far from the most best car agent. Due to the modernization, it has become larger and heavier. At the same time, the external appearance did not arouse admiration from the fans. But be that as it may, this particular car is located in the 7th position.
The 6th position is maneuverable and high-speed car James Bond. The brand of this car is BMW 750 iL. Fans could see this vehicle in Tomorrow Never Dies, which was released in 1997.

What car did James Bond drive in this episode? This is an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. The very name of this transport speaks of its superiority over everyone on the road. And this applies not only to style, but also to work. This car looks masculine, elegant and luxurious. Aston Martin of this model was discontinued quite recently.

The car could be carefully considered only in one episode - in a love scene. But this was enough to admire him. Unlike other cars of the agent, Bentley Mark IV, namely about it and in question, did not seek to demonstrate its high-speed parameters and bells and whistles. The only thing in it was a telephone.
Rare Japanese model

Sport car, possessing a variety of bells and whistles, just could not help but like it. Exactly the same brand only with new possibilities was used by spies in the series “ Ball lightning". The model became Bond's personal car in such films as "Golden Eye", "Tomorrow Never Dies", "And the whole world is not enough." Accordingly, we can safely say that this is James Bond's favorite car.
Conclusion
The rating, of course, does not contain all the cars that the popular intelligence agent has ever used. But they are most popular with spy fans. Now you know your favorite cars. They are all unique in their kind. Even those spy machines that are not on this list are good. Perhaps a new film about the agent's adventures will soon be released. And in this film, he will drive around even more cool car... Accordingly, the rating will have to be supplemented. But we do not think that anyone will be upset with such changes. After all, the machines of the super agent have always attracted increased interest.
The well-known and beloved spy of British intelligence James Bond, also known as "agent 007", as planned by the author of the novels Ian Fleming, goes on his mission in a Bentley. But the creators of the cinematic "Bond" presented the hero with a whole series of super cars. The best cars Agent 007 whose name we will cover in this article will appeal to everyone - after all, these are supercars of a super spy!
Agent 007 machines name.
- And the whole world is not enough (1999)
In this film, the role of "Agent 007" is played by Pierce Brosnan. The main car in the picture is the BMW Z8, although episodes with Aston Martin can be seen. However, not a lot of screen time was allocated to the handsome roadster from BMW either. With a saw attached to a helicopter it is "cut" into two parts, Bond manages to jump out (for that he and Bond), and the once luxurious car ends its days in the depths of the sea. 
- Die but not now (2002)
This time, Bond finally gets behind the wheel of an Aston Martin. A brand new Vanquish V12 was chosen for the film. As usual, the car is stuffed with rockets, firearms and other bells and whistles. A special feature of the film was also a device on the car, which made it invisible. According to the film, such masking is provided by many mini-monitors on liquid crystals. We do not vouch for the reality of the idea, but it perfectly exists on the screens of film lovers and in the imagination of the authors. Agent 007's cars, the name of which could still be seen in this tape - this is the hero's enemy's Jaguar, Ford, as well as a couple of Volvo models. 
- Casino Royale" (2006)
New Bond delighted fans of this film. And not just a new actor Daniel Craig, but agent 007 himself has changed. For the first time, James Bond is blond, and no longer a frivolous playboy, but a loving man. He is even ready to give up service to Her Majesty for the sake of his beloved. Such a Bond overshadowed the automotive theme in the film, but he managed to use a simple Ford mondeo like a taxi, and also get away almost scratchlessly from a chase in an Aston Martin DBS. The fate of the car itself, as expected, is sad: 7 coups, torn off parts and wheels, and James's car "crumpled". It is worth noting that these are not special effects drawn with computer graphics, but a stunt performance. It was performed three times, i.e. three real production cars were "ditched" to capture the imagination of the audience. What needs to be said was a success. 
- Quantum of Solace (2008)
This film was a jubilee one. The author of books about agent 007, Ian Fleming, would have turned 100 years old, and it was also a film number 22, the same number of works were written. In general, we worked and tried not to make fun of this film. Filming took place in 6 countries. Super spy Bond got behind the wheel of an Aston Martin DBS this time. He was riddled with bullets, the door was ripped off, and other injuries were sustained. Further figures are simply amazing: 6 Aston Martin were smashed and 28 Alfa romeo... The hero's enemy drives a purely English car Land rover Defender, as well as in the course of the action flicker Ford's, one of them belongs to the heroine of the film, and others different models Volvo, Jaguar. 
- 007: Coordinates of Skyfall (2012)
And again there were rumors about the cars of agent 007 and the name of the applicants. Bond's car was supposed to be a Bentley, but everyone saw the Aston Martin DB5. He is the main car of the hero, Jaguar is again in the background. This time the agent also drove a Mercedes. The episodic role went to Volkswagen. Quite small and fleeting, because he actually flew in the Defender. 
- 007: Spectrum (2015)
This picture was no exception to the rule - 37 million dollars were spent on the cars of agent 007 name. And classically, most of them were smashed during the chase, in order to subdue the viewer with this. Thus, we got rid of about 30 cars.
The car of the hero from this film became the most expensive. In the sense that it was sold after filming for 3.5 million dollars, and it became a chic and incredibly beautiful Aston Martin DB10. Hand-assembled interior, autographed by Daniel Craig, 4.7 liter V8 engine. The money received was intended for the charity "Doctors Without Borders". 
Such machines of agent 007, the name of which appeared in this article, we could see in the last Bond films. What's next? Let's wait impatiently and look at the next Bond and his next cars.

The first car to be driven by agent 007 was the now-familiar Sunbeam Alpine Convertible.
Popular British car brand, founded back in 1888, was first engaged in the production of motorcycles, and then mastered cars. But already in 1920, Sunbeam got into the French concern of Alexander Darrak, in the 35th it was bought by the Rootes Group, and in the 64th - by Chrysler. In 1978, the Sunbeam brand ceased to exist, and among its most significant achievements were the victory in the Monte Carlo Rally in 1955 and the role of the first James Bond car.
1963. From Russia with love
One of the rare films in which Bond Bentley car... And we are talking about the pre-war 1930 car, which provides a mobile phone. For 1963, it was sheer fantasy, then there were only experimental samples, and the first call on a mobile phone was made only 10 years later. However, there was no question of performing any tasks, and even more so, chases in a 30-year-old car. Therefore, Bentley remained only a static character, giving way to the majestic Aston Martin in subsequent series.
1964. Goldfinger
According to the novel, James Bond was supposed to drive an Aston Martin DB Mach III, a racing version of DB2. However, by the time filming began, the British company had already mastered the production of the DB5 coupe, and Bond got the most modern sports car of the time.
It was Goldfinger who initiated the massive product placement in cinema, and then Aston Martin owner David Brown is not in vain considered one of the best marketers. Thanks to Brown's "lobby", cars began to play really serious roles, and even Dr. Kew appeared in Bond, in charge of preparing cars for Bond.
1965. Ball Lightning
This film only cemented the effect the Aston Martin DB5 had on the audience. Bond enjoys all the systems and gadgets that Kew has equipped him with, from a rotary drum with license plates from different countries and machine guns built into the side lights, to knives extending from the wheels and an oil spray system for would-be pursuers.
1967. You Only Live Twice
In this episode, James Bond went to conquer Japan and during the film himself never got behind the wheel, but his accompanying colleague from Japanese intelligence famously pilots a Toyota 2000 GT roadster, suspiciously reminiscent of Jaguar E-type in its forms. And even then, Toyota was equipped with both mechanical and automatic transmissions.
The Toyota 2000 GT was produced for only three years, and in 1970, after the release of 337 copies, the model was discontinued. But now these coupes and roadsters rightfully bear the title of the most expensive Japanese oldtimers - the price of auction copies reaches 375 thousand dollars.
1969. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Due to the chilling relationship between the Bond and Aston Martin producers, the DBS coupe appears in just four episodes in this series and lacks any of the supernatural powers that we are accustomed to from previous episodes. An exception is a secret place in glove box for securing a sniper rifle, but this will not surprise the sophisticated viewer.
1971. Diamonds Are Forever
For the first time, James Bond tries on an American car - Ford Mustang March I and, despite the absence of the usual gadgets in it, famously escapes from his pursuers, demonstrating virtuoso stunts and the enormous power of a real muscle car. Most of Bond's opponents also use Ford cars, but more mundane.
In the same film, the Honda ATV 90 tricycle first appeared, which became the prototype of modern ATVs, and even a lunar rover.
1973. Live and Let Die
Bond continues his American vacation, but this time cars play a very modest role in the film. Roger Moore's hero pilots a bus, a motor boat, an airplane and other vehicles. Meanwhile, in the course of the film, you can see almost all the lineup Chevrolet of those years, which clearly indicates the involvement of General Motors in the Bond film.
1974. The Man with the Golden Gun
Bond's automotive life takes an unusual turn in this episode. 007 is forced to catch up with criminals on a regular stolen from a car dealership AMC Hornet while the kidnappers of his beloved dock their wings to their AMC Matador Coupe and soar into the sky. The chase was remembered for the spectacular flip jump that Bond performed while crossing the canal.
1977. The Spy Who Loved Me
After a very long American tour, Bond returned to Europe and again took the wheel of a British car. This time he chooses the Lotus Esprit - perhaps one of the most stylish sports cars of the time, which existed on the assembly line from 1976 until 2004.
The Esprit is not only equipped with the familiar smoke screen and built-in missiles, but is also able to swim under water, which neither before nor since has not been possible with any Bondomobile. In addition, Bond uses an unusual for those times water transport, reminiscent of the motorcycle, which became the prototype of modern jet skis.
1979. Moonraker
This time James Bond goes into outer space to rescue the hijacked shuttle, because he does not feel much need for cars. In the background are the pre-war Alfa Romeo 8C Supercharged, classic Bentley 4 ½ liter and Jeep Wagoner SUVs. However, none of them paid attention to the agent, relying on motor boats and spaceships.
1981. For Your Eyes Only
After the American vacation, the special agent returns to Europe and again the car becomes his real friend and assistant. In this series, Bond is given two Lotus Esprit Turbo at once. And after the first white car self-destructs, 007 gets behind the wheel of a Citroen 2 CV and, rolling over the roof a couple of times, famously escapes from his pursuers in a Peugeot 504.
The stylish red Esprit Turbo Bond receives in the north of Italy in the mountains and has two pairs of skis effectively fixed on its roof. However, in the film, this car flashes in just four scenes and surprisingly remains intact, and does not fly to pieces like most Bond cars.
1983. Octopus and Never Say Never
This year turned out to be very fruitful, two Bond episodes were released at the same time: the official one based on the novel by Ian Fleming, Octopus, and the unofficial Never Say Never, which is essentially a remake of the 1965 Ball Lightning movie. Roger Moore starred in Octopussy, and Sean Connery, who is already pretty old, starred in Never Say Never.
Octopus begins in Cuba: James drives around in a spectacular convertible Range rover, in the trailer of which a small jet plane is hiding. After visiting India, returning to Europe, Bond unexpectedly steals an Alfa Romeo GTV6 and dashingly escapes from the police prancing in a BMW on it. This film was also remembered for the fact that domestic "Zhiguli" and "Volga" cars appear in episodic roles, and even an armored car specially created for the film, reminiscent of the domestic BA-64.
In the movie Never Say Never, Sean Connery's character never gets into a car, paying more attention to leggy beauties, and especially to Kim Basinger, who became famous thanks to the film “9 ½ Weeks”. But he sits on motorcycle Yamaha The XJ 650 Turbo Seca, which was the fastest bike at the time, and its 650cc turbo engine produced 90 hp. This was the first time Bond had driven a motorcycle. But not the last ...
1985. Kind of Murder
Looks like Bond really enjoyed stealing cars. This time it takes away hatchback Renault 11, which, in the course of the chase, first turns into a convertible, and then completely into a two-wheeled cart, which, in between, is quite capable of continuing to move. Then Bond, along with his companion, hijack a fire truck, on which they manage to escape from a whole pack of police officers.
1987. Sparks from the Eyes
The new James Bond is Timati Dalton, and he's back behind the wheel of an Aston Martin. This time he has a V8 Vantage, stuffed with all sorts of gadgets from familiar rockets and machine guns to retractable skis, spikes in the wheels and even a jet booster.
Instead of retractable knives familiar from the movie "Fireball", the wheels have built-in lasers capable of cutting through the enemy's car - separating the body from the chassis. Fortunately, this is impossible to do in real life. All the more so - with a car, the body of which is carrying (in this case, it is a "Zhiguli"). The main enemies of Bond this time master Russian cars and, of course, lose. One VAZ-2103 is sent under water, the other is cut along with a laser.
1989. License to Kill
In contrast to the previous film, here Timati Dalton does without cars at all. But his main enemy, Franz Sanchez, drives a Maserati Biturbo, and his assistant drives a Jeep CJ-7.
1995. Golden Eye
After a significant break, Bondiana changed the main actor, and at the same time the hero's car. From that moment on, the relationship between film producers and producers was thoroughly formed, BMW company became official supplier cars for Bond. However, as a nod to past merits and so that the viewer can trace the succession of generations, "Golden Eye" begins with a scene of the chase of Bond behind the wheel of a classic Aston Martin DB5. The first of the Bavarian 007 cars was tested by the newly launched Z3 roadster. However, unfortunately, nothing impressive was found in this car.
1997. Tomorrow Never Dies
Here Q was already allowed to turn around in full. The executive BMW 750iL is equipped not only with armor, missiles and other familiar to Bond gadgets, but also with remote control, thanks to which 007 manages to outwit its rivals (these eagles control two Mercedes S-class(W126)).
During the filming, the car was driven by a man who was sitting in the back behind a specially equipped control panel. Another 007 runs motorcycle BMW, and in episodes the classic Aston Martin DB5 was lit up - the Bavarians clearly had a soft spot for this car and even said that BMW was considering buying Aston Martin ...
1999. And the whole world is not enough
And again, the DB5 flashes in the frames, but this time the spectacular BMW Z8 roadster is the main Bond car. Truly rare, powerful and fast. But in the film he gets a very small role, after which the car is cut into two parts along and it goes to the bottom of the sea.
2002. Die, but not now
It happened, James Bond again got behind the wheel of an Aston Martin, but this time with a completely new Vanquish V12, equipped with rockets and machine guns to the roof, and at the same time a system remote control... The spectators were also pleased with the "super-camouflage" that makes the car completely invisible. A Bond opponent drives an armed Jaguar XKR roadster. At the time, Aston Martin and Jaguar were part of the Ford empire, so it's no surprise that the film features the new Ford Thunerbird, Volvo S60 and C70 models.
The scene of the chase of Aston against Jaguar on the ice of a frozen lake is worthy of a separate mention. Unlike previous and future Bond films, in this series, cars are not damaged at all when hit by bullets and collisions. And to make the car invisible, it was allegedly equipped with tens of thousands of tiny liquid crystal monitors, however, it remains unclear how they all work, for example, on wheels and glass, without blocking the view ...
2006. Casino Royale
In many ways, a revolutionary film for Bond, in which 007 appears before the audience not only as a playboy and a cynic, but as a truly loving man who, for the sake of his woman, is ready to leave the intelligence service. The role given to cars in this film is very small. First, Bond uses a brand new Ford Mondeo as a taxi, and then, during the pursuit of the kidnappers, his beloved unexpectedly turns over behind the wheel of an Aston Martin DBS supercar. The car makes 7 revolutions through the roof, its wheels and body elements come off, but Bond, meanwhile, comes out of the accident unharmed.
This trick is completely staged, without the use of computer effects. Stunt performer Adam Kirley performed it three times, each time using a fully production car without a roll cage. And to overturn the car, they put an exploding squib under the bottom.
In the course of the film, Bond wins the legendary DB5 at cards, but this time a serial one, and even with a left-hand drive, whereas before 007 traditionally used right-hand drive cars.
2008. Quantum of Solace
This film has become in many ways an iconic element of James Bond. It was filmed for the 100th anniversary of Ian Fleming and became the 22nd Bond film - that is how many short stories were written by its author. And since the future of the super agent is in jeopardy, the filmmakers gave their best. For the first time in history, the film was filmed in 6 countries at once: Panama, Chile, Italy, Austria, England and Mexico. Also, for the first time in Bond, the girl of the protagonist was a native of Ukraine (actress Olga Kurylenko), and for the entire film Bond did not manage to seduce her, which had never happened before with 007.
Unlike previous films, Bond's Aston Martin DBS is the most real to eat, it is stitched with bullets and scratched against the walls, and for greater realism, the car is also torn off driver's door... In total, during the filming of this scene, 6 Aston Martin and 28 Alfa Romeo 159 were broken at once. Moreover, the Italian sports sedan and the original British Land are against Bond. Rover defender... The only friendly 007 car is the Ford Ka of the heroine of Olga Kurylenko - Camilla.
In secondary scenes, they regularly flash different models Ford, Volvo and Jaguar.
What's next?
According to rumors, the title of the new film will be "Property of a Lady or Carte Blanche". Filming will begin this summer, and the premiere is scheduled for November 9, 2012 - exactly the half-century anniversary of the Bond. Bond's car this time will be the Bentley Continental GT. The story continues!
Aston martin db5Goldfinger
The most legendary bondmobile - Aston Martin DB5! In most cases, it was ruled by the best (according to many) Bond of all time - Sean Connery.
To fight the enemies of Her Majesty, Bond's Aston Martin DB5 was equipped with interesting "chips" - rotating knives protruded from the wheel hubs in the manner of Roman chariots, Browning machine guns were located in the front of the car, and in order to shake off unwanted pursuers from the tail, the creators of the agent DB5 provided an oil spray system.
Also, Bond could change numbers at any time. own car without resorting to the services of wrenches. Several registration numbers(British, French and Swiss) were mounted on turntable drums that could be operated from the salon. The car also had "navigation", a telephone and a system for ejecting unwanted passengers.
In addition to Goldfinger, the model has appeared in the Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale and even in the newest Skyfall. Aston Martin DB5 civil sports cars for two years of production (1963-1965) were produced just over a thousand. The cars were equipped with a four-liter atmospheric inline six-cylinder engine with a capacity of 285 Horse power... The maximum speed was an impressive 230 kilometers per hour for that time, and acceleration from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour took about eight seconds.
Lotus Esprit. "The Spy Who Loved Me"
Perhaps, in beauty and functionality, the DB5 can only be matched by the car that fell into the hands of Connery's successor in the role of Bond - Roger Moore. This is one of the most famous supercars in history - the British Lotus Esprit.
Truth, main feature Bond's Lotus was not the ability to leave eight minutes in the Nurburgring, but the ability to transform ... into a submarine. The windows automatically became airtight, from rear bumper the propellers went out, and neat fins appeared in the arches instead of wheels.
If the villains sent a flotilla of submarines in pursuit of Bond, then James could easily fight off with the help of torpedoes and take refuge in a veil of dark liquid that was released from a pair of pipes hidden under the license plate. By the way, on land the car was also not a miss. Bond's roster of options included surface-to-air missiles and a sprinkler of mud on the glass of the pursuers' car.
Compared to the DB5, the Esprit was a much more technologically advanced car. The mid-engined coupe was driven by two-liter engine, which in Europe and the USA was boosted to 162 and 142 horsepower, respectively. At the same time, the weight of the car was less than a ton. According to the manufacturer, the maximum speed of the sports car was 200 kilometers per hour, and acceleration from zero to "hundreds" took 6.8 seconds.
Aston martin v8 vantage
"Sparks from the eyes"
For the new Bond performed by Timothy Dalton, the creators of the series prepared and completely new car- Agent 007 got behind the wheel of an Aston Martin again. This time, the choice fell on the V8 Vantage, which not only acted as a vehicle for James, but also helped the agent fight the harsh KGB officers.
Like the old Aston Martin, the new car received useful but more modern equipment. The knives in the wheels were replaced by lasers, which easily sawed through the metal unnoticed by Bond's enemies. With the help of this particular gadget, the Zhiguli "treshka" of Soviet law enforcement agencies was destroyed.
Equally interesting was the "winter package" of the Bond Vantage V8. It consisted of skis protruding from under the rapids, and steel spikes that "went out" directly from the tires. If on snow and ice it was necessary to move at speeds that were beyond the limit of tire adhesion to a snow-covered or icy surface, then for this case the creators of the car provided a jet engine located in the rear of the car.
The civilian model Aston Martin V8 Vantage was equipped with a 5.3-liter V-shaped "eight", which developed 410 horsepower. The Vantage V8 accelerated to one hundred kilometers per hour in 5.3 seconds. And everything would be fine, but there was a lot of "Americanism" in the design of this model - the exterior of the car strongly resembled a Ford Mustang.
BMW 750Li
"Tomorrow never dies"
Not only British cars became iconic in the history of "Bondiana". For example, during the Bond era, performed by Pierce Brosnan, 007 often traveled to BMW cars and one of the more interesting Bavarians was the gray 7-Series sedan.
Kew equipped this car with a remote control system implemented using a mobile phone. James steered the car using the circular touchpad. To simplify the process, a camera was located in the front of the car, the image from which was directly broadcast on the mobile screen.
In addition to remote control, the "seven" was equipped with a smoke screen function, a stock of missiles that were hidden under a panel on the roof, replacing a hatch, a collection of small thorny "hedgehogs" thrown under the wheels of the pursuers, and a special knife under BMW emblem on the hood, which even coped with steel ropes without any apparent difficulties. And also the "seven" of agent 007 had the option-dream of many motorists - self-pumping tires. All of these functions could also be controlled using a telephone.
Under the hood of the 750iL was a 5.4-liter V12 engine that developed 351 horsepower. The "7" provided to Bond was the third generation car with the E38 body designation. It was produced from 1994 to 2001.
Aston Martin Vanquish V12
"Die but not now"
The most recent Bond model on our list that has just been relaunched is the Aston Martin Vanquish V12. It was also piloted by Pierce Brosnan, and the car itself became part of one of the most memorable chases in the history of the series.
The missiles were again placed behind the Aston's radiator grill, and machine guns, self-guided to the target, were placed under the ventilation holes on the hood. As before, the passenger seat was endowed with a bailout function.
The main feature of the new Aston Martin is the invisibility mode. And not only did they "disappear" body panels but also wheels, glasses and all optics. The only way to trace the movement of Bond's vehicle was the tracks on the road. By the way, an attentive viewer on the license plate of the movie Vanquish V12 can read the codename of the car's creator - Agent Kew.
The civilian version of the model was presented in two modifications - regular and S. The six-liter V12 engine of the first version developed 456 horsepower. The power of the same unit for the second was increased to 520 horsepower.
Cars that you probably didn't remember
Sunbeam Alpine Convertible. "Doctor No"
Few people know that the first car of 007 in the film "Doctor No" was a convertible Sunbeam Alpine Convertible. Unfortunately, the exterior of the car can hardly be called outstanding even for its time. And with the top folded down, it looked like a pickup truck.
Bentley Mark IV. "From Russia with love"
In the second film of the series - "From Russia with Love" - Bond finds himself in a car for the only time, behind the wheel of which in his novels he was regularly put by the creator of Bond, the writer Ian Fleming. In this episode, Agent 007 drove a Bentley Mark IV model, and not a simple one, but equipped with a telephone - a rather rare automobile device for the early 1960s.
Ford Mustang Mach 1. "Diamonds Are Forever"
Ford Mustang Mach 1 is direct proof that 007 does not always need British special equipment. Bond easily takes out the crowd of police chasing him, and then turns several patrol cars into a heap of scrap in a regular red Mustang.
Renault 11. "View of the Murder"
In the "View to Murder" series, the British agent chose the Renault 11 hatchback as a vehicle. True, not entirely voluntarily - it was just this inconspicuous car that turned up for him at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Agent 007 was trying to catch up with Meidei, the assistant of his main enemy Max Zorin. The car was out of luck: first Bond turned the Renault into a convertible, and then into a two-wheeled vehicle. Picky viewers, by the way, may notice that not Roger Moore is driving, but an unknown stuntman.
Ford Mondeo. "Casino Royale"
Another trivial vehicle for Bond was the Ford Mondeo. In a silver sedan, which premiered right on the silver screen, agent 007, played by Daniel Craig, cuts along the embankment and unceremoniously violates traffic rules while driving. mobile phone... But this is James Bond. He can do anything.
