| Aston Martin DB5 from 1964 |
The latest 007 film – to be released on Nov 09th in the US – is by
far the best one from the Daniel Craig era. Together with “Casino Royal” and “Quantum of
Solace,” Mr. Craig’s has his third performance as a secret service agent
for MI6. “Skyfall” shows an even more humane and macho Bond, with almost no gadgets and a lot of stamina.
As the movie moves on, the viewer
gets to see many different vehicles and transportation means: starting with a Land Rover Defender that will go up
against anything before being left alone; going through an outstandingly
beautiful and luxurious Jaguar XJ
limo that moves around the top agents of the British secret service; a Mercedes S-Class; a few motorcycles;
and a most elegant sail yacht that will lead the audience to a very appalling
(and yet also very human) villain played by Javier Barden.

It will take lots of muscles and
energy for Mr. Bond to put an end to this 007 adventure, where he will also
have to face his past. For that, he will use the help of the forever-classic Aston Martin DB5!

| GOLDFINGER: Sean Connery with his DB5 |
Seen for the first time on a Bond
movie in 1964 with “Goldfinger,” starring Sean Connery, the DB5, filled with
gadgets prepared by “Q”, made a huge impression on audiences. The same Aston
Martin reappeared on a dazzling sequence in “GoldenEye” – a terrific race against a Ferrari 355 – and way too
quickly on “Tomorrow Never Dies”
(both starring Pierce Brosnan).
“Skyfall” shows the Aston back at its best form, seen from all the
angles and even some interior details. Thus, the newest 007 should make a
massive success. Don’t be too shaken by all the final twists. Just enjoy the
stirring around!
