Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

I did a write up on the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish back in 2007 in relation to the James Bond movie "Die Another Day"
But here is the real world Vanquish.

In 1998, a GT concept car, the Project Vantage, debuted at the North American International Auto Show.
The Vanquish was based on that car.
But the Vanquish S is the real barnstormer.
The Vanquish is powered by a a 5.9 liter 48-valve 60� V12 engine, which puts out 514 horsepower and 425 ft�lbs of torque.
That gave the Vanquish a 0 to 60 time of about 4 seconds and a top speed in the 190-204 mph range.
The base price was around $250,000.

And if that's not enough, Top Speed is reporting the new 2010 Vanquish S may be putting out 550 mph.

Jaguar C-XF -Bond 22's new car?

Aston Martin may not be supplying James Bond's new car in the film due to Ford selling the company in March 2007. Ford has a three-film deal that began with 2002's Die Another Day. Jaguar is speculated to be a replacement with the new Jaguar C-XF design.

Aston Martin DBS - Casino Royale

Daniel Craig's first role as Bond sees him at the seat of the upgraded DB9 - named the DBS. This is fitted with a few optional extras to make life in the secret service a little easier. I'll update these when everyone's seen the film!

During the film 007 takes a ride in the latest Ford Mondeo.

Bond also manages to get his hands on another classic Aston Martin DB5 from 1964.
