According to a source at the Sun, James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 spotted on location in Scotland recently, will be carrying some of the old favorite gadgets.
A Skyfall source said: “This car defines everything that is James Bond. It looks good and goes like a rocket. There’s a real buzz about its return.”
The Aston Martin seen on location still carries the same license plate as seen in Goldfigner.
An Australian motoring website is riding the James Bond publicity wave, predicting 007 will be back in an Aston Martin for Bond 23.
Whilst CarsGuide acknowledges that there is yet no word on what vehicle James Bond will be driving in the 23rd James Bond film, the authors are optimistic the luxury carmaker will be back.
Not only are they predicting that Aston will partner with 007 for Bond 23, they are optimistic about a double deal with Sony – who will be overseeing Bond 23 and Bond 24.
In other news, India will be host to a family of Astons: V8 Vantage, Rapide and One-77. This news neatly coincides with the rumors that 007 will be heading back to India for James Bond 23.
British paper, The Sun has stunning new pictures of Aston Martin’s latest offering.
The Aston was unveiled on a race from London to Silverstone race circuit in Northamptonshire.
Under the hood is a 7-litre V12 engine, which produces around 700bhp. The car will cost over £1 million (over $1.4 US).
The reporters say: “The One-77, which is the first production-ready example made by Aston, will undoubtedly be Bond’s car when Daniel Craig appears in the next flick.”

Premiere car-makers Aston Martin have unveiled a very special edition Aston Martin DBS (James Bond’s current ride of choice) which the brochure describes as being anointed with “bespoke Carbon Black metallic paint especially formulated with a subtle metallic twist to create a deep rich patina”. The car also supports new alloy wheels.
Inside the car will feature upgraded stereo gear (a Bang & Olufsen Beosound will come as standard) and Obsidian Black leather seats.
The special edition Aston will be released in 2010 with a 5% hike in price tag but there is no news on how many the company will be offering to the public.
If all goes according to plan, the new Aston Martin will be ready in time for the expected shooting date of James Bond 23 – which as recently quoted by Daniel Craig at the stage door of his Broadway show A Steady Rain, would be late 2010.
Could James Bond be seen on screen behind the wheel of this stunning, sleek new Aston Martin?
