James Bond - what would he drive today?

[Ozzie Osmond]

No, not the obvious Aston Martin answer.

Over the years and through many films "our James" was seen driving all kinds of cars, some because they genuinely fitted the role and others (perhaps) only as a result of commercial product placement - could include BMW Z8.

So if he was setting out on a new mission today, what would he be driving????

[chevy-stu]

Prius..

To be honest knowing that he works for a government agency he'd probably end up with nothing more than an Oyster Card a G-Whizz

[TheEnd]

Volvo V70R

I like the idea and can see exciting roles for Boris Johnson and Ken Livingstone in the film!

haven't read any so need help here, but in the books didn't he drive a pre-war bentley? early bond certainly seemed to favour substance over tech. & bling so I'd see no reason why it'd have to be a new car.

db4 with q suspension & engine upgrades? the goldeneye car was the last decent thing he drove. modern aston too obvious imo, a morgan not quite enough.

[Fun Bus]

Dacia Sandaro.

[odyssey2200]

The number 9 bus.

[Westy Pre-Lit]

Apparently he drives a Bentley now if the number plate I saw the other day was anything to go by...8OND.

He'd car share.

[groomi]

A Bristol.

[The Lukas]

This might be a bit left field:







An Aston Martin?

[glazbagun]

diesel Jaguar XF.

No chance, 007's no bender.

[Mr AJ]

Government cutbacks and Co2 and all that.

[G_T]

According to last two James Bond films I saw a Ford Focus or a Ford Fiesta.

He wouldn't have a Jaguar... Only bad guys drive Jaguars for example the evil leader from Quantum of solace had a LWB XJ 308...

Failing that he'd have an Morgan.

I'd put money on that abortion ending up in a Bond film sooner or later.

[ScottishSamurai]

I would say a Lotus Evora...

He did. In "Casino Royale" he drives a 4 1/2 litre, fitted with a supercharger. By "Thunderball" he has moved on to a Mark II Continental, with a Mulliner body fitted, the engine bored out, and later a supercharger. That's right, Bond Pimped his Ride.

With that in mind, I think a modified Continental Supersports would be rather fitting for 2010.
