M16 And Aston Martin
Aston Martin. By the way it sounds, it already depicts elegance, premium-class performance and, you got it right, mystery.
Just a perfect match for the silver screen’s legendary secret agent, James Bond, also known as M16.
The Aston Martin DB5 was promoted through the James Bond movie Casino Royale along with the Aston Martin DBS.
According to lifestyle.monsterandcritics.com, the DBS as shown in the movie features bulletproof front and rear windscreens, front wing machine guns, smoke screen dispensers and other extra components that distinguish it from its original design - a sports car. Bond used the DB5 as a personal vehicle upon winning a poker game.
Ever wonder what else does it takes to be a celebrated agent’s car? Well, take it from Aston Martin’s DB5 that according to my source is equipped with tire shredders that can extend from the wheel hubs, retractable bullet shields, revolving number plates (that can make the car legal and valid wherever it goes), a passenger ejector seat and oil slick dispensers.
The Aston Martin DB5 was used in three of James Bond’s missions including the Goldfinger where the car helped him beat Tilly Masterson. In his Thunderbolt mission, the DB5 served as Bond’s getaway vehicle and finally in Goldeneye where he used the DB5 to race against Xenia Onatopp’s Ferrari that probably matched with the power of an Acura Legend steering rack.
Would you believe that the Aston Martin DB5 is as legendary as Bond himself? The DB5 has been existent for over 40 years.
Casino Royale, according to Wikipedia, is the 21st among a series of James Bond movies, starring Daniel Craig as M16 agent, released in 2006.
