james bond aston martin concept

bassnett

I'm doing some research for a project, which is designing a new Aston martin flagship vehicle which will be adapted for 007's new car.

What sort of layout would you expect from Aston martin for their flagship in 10 years’ time? E.g. front engined supercar / mid engined supercar / large GT etc.?

What new technology would you like to see on bond's next Aston?

Do you think the signature Aston martin grey should be used?

How do you think previous bond Aston Martin's could be improved?

Would be much appreciated if you could reply thanks

Sorry bub, I was kinda taking the piss. Ya see out of all the Bond car gadgets, the invisibility thing on the vanquish is probably regarded as the worst.

Seriously speaking, I thought the vanquish was great.

The new age bond requires a realistic car, flippy number plates maybe, machine guns possibly, the ability to go underwater or fly however.... Hmmm, maybe not.

Firstly, an armored fuel tank and reinforced fuel lines. Increase the brake horsepower of the engine by increasing the RPM ratio as well as replacing some of the engine head parts (after all, you don't want the thing pinging). Bond will need a HUGE engine to actually haul this stuff around; you'll likely want to keep the Aston Martin V12. As for the gadgets themselves? You don't need an oil slick (potential fire hazard) when you can drop steel caltrops from a compartment in the rear. You also don't need a smoke screen with a large reservoir if you can drop a flash-bang grenade insultated from the fuel tank and fuel lines. Have at least one hidden panel in the glove compartment and or doors for a large caliber gun (Fleming's otherwise gadget-less cars had this), possibly machine guns behind panels in the fenders, and here's one for you: a deployable passenger side front airbag. Instead of an ejector seat, an airbag capable of deploying on command is pretty realistic/can be done and allows for a fight or stunned bad guy who Bond subsequently dispatches. Rotating number plates might work. How's that for starters?

Items I would retain from the past:

Goldfinger - Retractable machine guns.
TSWLM - Cement cannons used by the Lotus.
TLD & DAD - Retractable tyre studs for ice.
Cas R-06 - Med Kit in Glove Box


Agree with Dalk on the Caltrop dropping device, flash grenades and the concealed gun.


New items. - Satellite GPS and radio transmission jammer. (Prevents the car showing up on GPS systems)
- Removable tablet / Laptop dock for secured data transfer form MI6.**
- Optional Sat Nav unit. Designed with one or two Bond software tricks to secure / disable vehicle.
- Solar panel unit built into sunroof panel for charging devices. **
- Flat panel (tablet style) Number plate panels. Can utilize screen app tools as well as "flippy plates!"



** Item could be designed for real. for Aston M to incorporate in retail versions of the car.
