Aston to provide Bond's car again
8:52pm Tuesday 11th December 2007
ASTON Martin has announced that its new flagship model, the DBS, will once again be driven by James Bond in the next 007 film.
The Aston Martin DBS made its first public appearance in Casino Royale when it smashed its way into the Guinness World Record books for The Most Cannon Rolls In A Car'.
The record-breaking stunt saw stuntman Adam Kirley taking the helm of Bond's famous Aston Martin.
It proved one of the most spectacular stunts in movie history when he rolled the DBS an amazing seven times.
Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez, said: "Aston Martin is proud of our long association with James Bond.
"The DBS has its own unique character which equals that of James Bond.
"It is explosive power in a black tie. It is the perfect car for James Bond as it delivers the complete driving experience and bridges the gap between our road and track cars - the DB9 and DBR9.
"It is equally at home on a twisting mountain circuit as on the open road and we are all very excited at the prospect of seeing it on the big screen again."
BOND 22 - the film's working title - is scheduled for international release in November 2008.
