He'd have to wear a crash helmet so that would help him travel incognito.

Cars he should have driven

Nsx - retro porn
Mangusta - ultimate cool
Avantime - totally misunderstood

Cubby et al have occasionally chosen some right duffers for Bond's car in the past (Z3 anyone) but they have mostly been stylish and cool.

A Mono is neither.
Am I missing something ... Is this a Generation Y thing ?

Why is the mono not cool?


It's an f1 car for the road ... And it works really well ...

Why do you think ford want to make one?

An Avantime!

I could just imagine Mrs Bond telling him he has to get rid of the sports cars now they have kids and get something they can fit child seats to, and James heading down the paper shop kicking rocks to get the autotrader.

It's a toy, and a nerdy one at that.

Let me justify....

Senna developed the Nsx .... Please don't tell me senna is not cool now

When bond was in the us he drove American junk ... Amc pacer I seem to remember ...

You are telling me a mangusta (mongoose kills cobras) ... Or a painters isn't the coolest demonstration of American muscle


Then France ... A view to a kill .... The avantime car totally cutting edge at the time ... Ok maybe a genetic dead end... But so were gyro copters ... Next you will say little Nellie wasn't cool



I think a sad thing has happened somewhere ... We all know bond has an old Bentley or Aston hidden away (sky fall) ... But Q or circumstance always delivered a disposable vehicle ...... Which he invariably trashed .... It having served him admirably ...

Key bond trait .... He breaks all his toys



So .... All I was saying was it was getting a bit boring him rolling up to a casino in a gin palace which is now mainly the ride of accountants and CEOs. (They.. We ... All do the bond thing when nobody is watching)


What I was really trying to say is let's all get behind these guys at BAC ... Who are pushing the boundaries to build a car they believe in ....

Btw ... Have you seen the pedigree of the guys at BAC???

Avantime ... 2 doors 4 seats... V6. 3.0 .....


I think that's why it failed ... Everyone thought it was a people carrier ... Not a panamera

Geek toy ... Yes (they changed the dictionary definition this year) lol


Actually my experience is not.... It's a true petrol head thing



The nerd car as you put it seems to be the tesla ... As it pushes both the tech and Ecco buttons...



With all due respect to everyone ... Am I missing something

I had an atom 300 it was totally epic ...
So different to ferraris and lambos

The mono is even more in tune than that... Like a glove


... Bond has driven everything ,... Why would he not need the ultimate road car ...

(Unless it's raining)

Luckilly in my film plot it's hot and slicks will work

I admire your persistence OP.

I think our definitions of cool are at pro site ends of the spectrum, sadly, and cool is something that can't be argued for or against rationally so that's that. I think Lee Tamahori might have an place for you on his team though...

Because Bond never had the "fastest" car IIRC.

Look at all the fun chases - the bad guy is as fast, if not faster.

View to a Kill - Renault 20?
Casino Royale - Aston, but crashed
Skyfall - no real car chases with bond driving?
Tomorrow Never Dies - 750iL against some comparable German machinery
GoldenEye - DB5 vs 355
etc

Bond should be in a car with character but not necessarily the fastest.
