I would be very happy if Lamborghini Reventon was the next Bond car. It's like a damn fighter jet!

Lamborghini Reventon-1
Lamborghini Reventon-2
Lamborghini Reventon-3

I know the interior doesn't look nice, but from outside it's great.
The company said that will produce only 30 of them. That's what makes it a real Bond car. It's beatiful, fast and you can only dream of it!

The Bentley Continental GT. I think it was a shame this was not the car of CR. Not only would it have been true to Fleming, but Craig seems more suited to a Bentley. Classic beefy Bond. Aston Martins are for sissys.

Still not sure about the Continental- too footballer-y.

But here's a new big brutal Bentley that would suit Bond:

Bentley Brooklands

[Agent 76]

Rolls-Royce Phantom

[Aris007]

Rolls-Royce Phantom

I don't know about the Rolls. It's a great car, but I think that it would be more appropriate to a villain than to Bond(like in Goldfinger). It's too H U G E and you expect to see a bussinessman coming out of the back door that was opened by the driver. I prefer something more sportish for Bond. Do you?

makes sense.

well a "sportish car"...let me see.... :

MG TF

[Aris007]

What abou that?


BMW M6

[Aris007]

Anyone keen on that? I know it's concept, but it's so ing beatiful!

[Aris007]

What about that one? Mercedes GTK

[jaguar007]

If we are talking about Bond's personal car, he would never drive a Bugatti V or Lambroghini, he could never afford them and they are a little too flashy. I think the idea of a preowned Jag XKR, Bentley or older Aston Martin is more in keeping with Fleming's Bond. His 20 year old Bentley (althought customized) was not the fastest car on the road in the 50/60s.

As for a company car however, something like a Rover 45 would be most realistic.

Perhaps if the next Bond actor picks up where Roger Moore left off, he could drive this:


The 2009 Lotus Eagle

I watched Top Gear yesterday, and I saw this.




Have it armed with some rockets and gadgets, and I think you have got a good Bond car. Very original and brilliant ingrediant for a good action scene

I sort of like it, but it feels to gimicky - like the paragliders in TWINE.

I'd love to see Bond in a Bentley Continental.

Failing that, why not just put him in a blood Prius.

[marktmurphy]

If it aint got no hammerhead grill then it aint Bond. Unless it's a Bhugatti Veyron.

What's a hammerhead grille?

I like the car very much! Those ventilators are awesome! But look at that! It's the new Lotus Esprit, coming in 2009!

[coco1997]

But look at that! It's the new Lotus Esprit, coming in 2009!

Nice, but looks a bit too much like a Lamborghini.

You mean the Gallardo right?

If you like a more British car, look at that.

Jaguar XF 10 Fuore





Beautiful, right?

[chriso]

Maybe it would be:

- Lamborghini LP560-4
- Bentley Continental GT
- Jaguar XF
- Maserati GranTurismo
- Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Bentley Continental any day. Dunno why, but it seems a very Bondian car.

But seriously, I don't know why everybody suggests sports cars for Bond. Personally, I would like to see Bond in an ordinary car, like they did with the AMC Hornet (TMWTGG) & Citroen Deux Chevaux (FYEO). I really want to see bond drive a Volkswagen Beetle! That would be great! And as for normal cars, I want to see Bond burn rubber in a Toyota Corolla or Camry, Honda Civic or Accord, or VW Golf, Ford Mondeo or something like that.

But in my heart of hearts, the car I really want to see Bond drive is the Hindustan Motors Ambassador, the car that put India on the road:

Imagine Bond driving one of those VOLKSWAGON BUGGIES That would make a bad impression.

I'd say a Jaguar XJ6 My dad owns one of those. 1989. Still in new condition. Same color as in the picture

[IMINTHEMONEYPENNY]

YES!! Well.....nearly as bad as a citroen anyway!

We suggest fast sport cars, becayse they givea different status to their owner and because Bond can get away easier from his enemies! Imagine him driving a VW Beetle! That's the reason my friend!

[coco1997]

Just in from AutoBlog.com--this looks like a stunning successor to the DB7: The Aston Martin One-77.

[Trident]

I'd very much welcome Bond driving a Bristol Fighter

Bristols are decidedly understated cars that have a nice retro touch. Of course they'll most likely never feature in a Bond film as they simply have no kind of marketing.

Where did the notion of having a flash car originate from?
Driving a flash car is not very practical thing for a spy is it.

What's a "flash" car? Do you mean a flashy car?

[Captain Tightpants]

There's three major ones I can think of tha I would like to see:
- Spyker C12 Zagato
- Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
- TVR Sagaris

[Joey Bond]

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned, or maybe I've overlooked it



Porsche Carrera GT Turbo

[coco1997]

For some reason, I never want to see Bond in a Porsche. Keep him in Aston Martin or other lesser known yet high-end brands.

[Captain Tightpants]

Porsche is too recogniseable as a supercar marque.

I love the Spyker! Great choice!


OK, two more gentlemen!

Maserati Granturismo




Jaguar XK180

That would be the same thing.
