    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?

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.

    • It has been quite some time since this Koenigsegg CCXR was seen in South Africa but it made an appearance today and @thecarscene_ managed to snap it in Cedar, Fourways.

As far as we know, there are only 2 Eggs in SA. This one and an orange CCX in East London which has also not been seen in quite some time.

    • #WideWednesday showing off this bold Urus sporting the Novitec Esteso widebody and aero kit done by @race1_ 

It also packs a full Supersprint exhaust so you will certainly hear it before you see it coming.

Snapped by @airaga95 at Brentwood Mall

    • Possibly the first privately-owned Mercedes-AMG GT3 in South Africa showed up at Dezzi Raceway in KZN for its first local drive.
