Not much has been said about the DB5 cars in the film.

A overheard conversation between Prince Charles and Daniel Craig at the film studio has been captured on a YouTube video.

Think the jist of it is, spaceframe chassis, carbon body panels, BMW engine. Seems they wanted a more 'chuckable' car for stunts.

Does anyone know any more details ?

[Mr.Tremlini]

Makes total sense to build a replica for requirements rather than trash a DB5 (or several), and the footage of it looks terrific, certainly the car with the most screen time in this first trailer. A couple of shots of the Vantage and DBSS, but they`re hanging onto the Valhalla footage for a bit later, understandably.

Saw several "DB5s" in Matera in the late summer - very hard to tell the stunt cars from the real thing...

I understand they are rebodied e46 m3’s

Is it just me or does it seem slightly overkill to have so many Astons in this film? Bond should drive one but it looks like the entire cast has one in this film.

It looks like Daniel Craig, as the "old" 007 is driving the old Aston`s, must have been a nice retirement gift and the new 00, Lashana Lynch, is in the DBSS. Who gets behind the wheel of the Valhalla remains to be seen...

I say it could be Malek as the new Dr No. The bad guy having the same "tools" as 007.

Too many Astons in a Bond film, really?

It feels a bit saturated that's for sure. I guess its Craig's final one so they've pulled out the stops.

I know, I know I never thought I’d say it but then I don’t recall there ever being more than one per movie.

Maybe it will all make sense as the plot emerges otherwise it will be product placement gone bonkers.

[simonrockman]

there will be a Valhalla in the film.

[shinjuku]

I think there should only be one, really. Obviously I like the brand but having this overt product placement is jarring in a film.

Would it be correct for me to say, all previous Bond films have featured only one Aston Martin model in each film ?

There have been occasions when Bond films have sometimes included all too obvious car placements.
Do you remember the cringeworthy, supposedly remote control BMW, which had almost no connection with the story?

Yes it is correct apart from Spectre & Casino Royale -

so normally just one new Aston plus a DB5 occasionally in recent storylines

The living daylights he drives a V8 volante and the V8 Vantage, but they pretend they are the same car

I think they should have far more Astons in the film that way at least if the film is st we can look at all the cars.

Not featured, but there is also a Rapide in Q’s workshop and possibly one in the (Blenheim) carpark in Spectre.
