Jaguar C-XF -Bond 22's new car?

Aston Martin may not be supplying James Bond's new car in the film due to Ford selling the company in March 2007. Ford has a three-film deal that began with 2002's Die Another Day. Jaguar is speculated to be a replacement with the new Jaguar C-XF design.

BMW 750iL - Tomorrow Never Dies

BMW 750iL - Tomorrow Never Dies

'Q' delivered a lovely new BMW 750 to Bond and luckily had it fully insured for all eventualities.

Remote controlled from a cell phone, Bond spends a fair bit of time out of the car during the car chase. Fully loaded with weapons, Bond steers the car towards the roof..
The last time it was seen flying off the multi-storey, car park - straight into the 'Avis Rent-a-Car' showroom.

BMW Z3 - GoldenEye

"Bond returned in 1995 with a German set of wheels - although he only managed a short ride in the country before handing the car over to his American contact, Jack Wade."

Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Volante-The Living Daylights

Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Volante-The Living Daylights

For the last few Roger Moore films, specialised cars were again sadly lacking. Once Timothy Dalton appeared in The Living Daylights, things were about to get back to normal.
Bond returned in an Aston Martin V8 Vantage along with a soft-topped Volante.
The car was equipped with 'laser guns' in the wheels, out-riggers for 'skiing', automatic, self inflating, spiked tyres, jet propulsion and the usual concealed guns.

007: Lotus Esprit - The Spy Who Loved Me

Lotus Esprit - The Spy Who Loved Me

After Goldfinger, James Bond took the DB5 for another quick spin in Thunderball. For the next few films, the 'Q' branch didn't have much to offer in the way of feature packed cars. A brief drive in an Aston Martin DBS during 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' and a bit of 2 wheel driving in a Ford Mustang and then in 1977 things heated up...

The Lotus Esprit was full of surprises..

Rear firing mud sprayers.
Full 'underwater' kit turning the car into a fully operative submarine.
Surface-to-air missiles used to end Naomi's helicopter ride.
Depth charges.
Underwater smoke screens
Torpedoes.

Although the real Esprit was acclaimed for its handling (it was said to have the best steering of any Esprit), the real life one was a little underpowered.
Lotus claimed 0-60 mph in 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 138 mph, but most road tests could only get 0-60 mph in 8 seconds and a top speed of 133 mph.

007: Aston Martin DB5

James Bond has probably driven more different vehicles than any handful of other screen characters in cinema history. From the Sixties cool of a Sunbeam Alpine and Aston Martin, through the Seventies and Eighties with svelte Lotus Esprits, to the Nineties chic of BMW sportscars, and speeding into the 21st Century with Aston Martin’s beast of a car – the Vanquish. Take a look at the files of just a few of the cars in which James Bond oo7 has created more screen destruction, havoc, mayhem – and motor vehicle madness than a
posse of short-sighted pensioners on the M25 or an Interstate Highway!
