“Skyfall” – James Bond is back and brings with him the classic DB5!

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!
