Aston Martin DBS Confirmed For Bond 22
11th December 2007
Gaydon, December 10th 2007: Aston Martin announced
today that their new flagship model, the DBS, will once again
be driven by James Bond (DANIEL CRAIG) in the next 007
film (Bond 22) to be produced by Michael G Wilson and Barbara
Broccoli for EON
Productions, and directed by Marc Forster.
The Aston Martin DBS made its first public appearance in Casino
Royale when it smashed its way into the Guinness World Record
books for ‘The Most Cannon Rolls In A Car’. The record-breaking
stunt saw stuntman Adam Kirley taking the helm of Bond’s
famous Aston Martin. The stunt proved one of the most spectacular
in movie history when he rolled the DBS an amazing seven times.
Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez, said: “Aston
Martin is proud of our long association with James Bond. The
DBS has its own unique character which equals that of James Bond.
It is explosive power in a black tie. It is the perfect car for
James Bond as it delivers the complete driving experience and
bridges the gap between our road and track cars - the DB9
and DBR9. It is equally at home on a twisting mountain circuit
as on the open road and we are all very excited at the prospect
of seeing it on the big screen again.”
