Aston Martin DBS v12 | Other Bond Cars | Other Bond Vehicles | Villianous Vehicles

The Aston Martin DBS returns in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace as a completely new car. Originally introduced to Bond audiences as Lazenby's classic roadster in the movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the 1969 version of the DBS is probably most famous for two things: 1) not having any gadgets, and 2) not having any gadgets (such as a bulletproof windscreen...
poor Tracy). Like it's older counterpart, the 2006 DBS is relatively stripped down (by Bond's standards, of course). Aside from a medical station for the 2006 model, the only other enhancement to speak of is an extra large glovebox, which is shared by both the 2006 model and it's predecessor.

The DBS V12 is an upgraded, limited production version of the standard Aston Martin DB9 series. In the words of Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez, the DBS is intended to be a more luxurious, usable and refined counterpart to the Porsche 911 GT3. And according to chief designer Marek Reichman, the DBS is perfect for Bond because "it is just like him; like a boxer in a Hugo Boss suit, classy and elegant, but also muscular and dangerous."

• The DBS in Casino Royale is relatively stripped down by Bond standards. It houses secret compartments for Bond's Walther P99, an emergency medical kit which includes a digital satillite link to MI6 HQ, antidotes to various poisons, and a small defibrillator. The producers of Casino Royale were either going to pick the Jaguar XXR or the DBS. Fortunately, it turned out to be the DBS. There are no visible gadgets on the DBS which appeared in Quantum of Solace.
