    My 4 Favourite Bond Cars of All Time

    Yesterday I was driving through Kirkstall, Leeds City Centre with the wife, suddenly, from nowhere this guy zooms past, revving his engine like he was in a sequel of Fast and Furious. I was going to yell, until I saw his car. It was an Aston Martin DBS, quite like the one Daniel Craig drove in Casino Royale. No one should drive that car slowly. Well, as long as they’ve got their auto insurance sorted.
    It made me want to see all my Bond movies again (I have a whole Blu-ray collection), but my wife wasn’t having it. Especially, since I saw it just 2 weeks ago. So, I’ve settled for a blog post of my favourite Bond cars instead.


    1. Aston Martin DBS
    Of course, this tops the list for me. Although the DBS had been used in George Lazenby’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, it made a bold come back in Craig’s Casino Royale. The luxury automaker used the opportunity to launch their near 200 mph supercar. The film will be remembered for the daring car flip- which producers achieved by installing an air-powered canon behind the driver’s seat.

    2. Aston Martin DB5
    Arguably the most famous of all Bond cars, Sean Connery drove this coupe beauty in 1964’s Goldfinger, and in Thunderball the following year. The car has made notable appearances in other Bond movies including GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies. In Casino Royale, Craig wins the car back from Alex Dimitros in a poker game
    During the course of the movie shoot in 1964, the DB5 went through a series of upgrades, transformed by special effects person John Stears. The car has received many accolades ever since.

    3. Lotus Espirit S1
    Who can forget this Lotus Espirit from The Spy Who Loved Me (one of my favourite Bond movies by the way). The submersible supercar from has its own Bond story. There’s a myth that goes, when the Lotus Marketing team heard Cubby Broccoli was making a new Bond movie, they parked the car outside his office, just so he could see Giugario’s radically-designed mid-engine sports car. And it worked! The underwater transformation scene still gets me to this day.



    4. Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II
    The Rolls used in 1985 A View to Kill was actually Cubby’s own personal car. Director John Glen admitted it took some persuasion to convince Cubby to loan him the car. Patrick Macnee, who played Sir Godfrey Tibbet later confessed to how nervous he was, negotiating the big car through the narrow equestrian gates in the French chateau scene.
    These are my top Bond cars, and the list is actually longer. What are your favourites?

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

📌 Graskop, Mpumalanga

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦 

Nothing confirmed by Toyota SA as of yet but here is the 224 kW GR Corolla!

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
