SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED - One man trashed three Aston Martins and lived. His name is Bond, James Bond

摘要

The choice of hero car for Casino Royale was made in late 2005 when Aston boss Dr Ulrich Bez invited Bond producer Barbara Broccoli up to Gaydon to look at a new DB9-based model under development in the design studio. Broccoli loved the car and immediately cast it as the perfect transport for Daniel Craig's leaner, meaner, slightly blonder Bond. This left Aston with a small problem. The new car, to be called DBS, wasn't due to be launched until 2007 and at that point it was just a styling buck still being finessed by design director Marek Reichman. No actual DBSs existed and it wasn't going to be much of a starring role if all Bond did was lean casually on a clay model.
