TOP GEAR DRIVES THE BEST BOND CARS EVER
In celebration of the upcoming James Bond film, Top Gear decided to round up and drive the best 007 cars ever made.
Over the decades, James Bond films have given us some honestly terrific vehicles. But, as we all know, they were not exactly standard, with all sorts of magic tricks to capture the imaginations of fans of all ages.
In the video below, Top Gear deputy editor, Jack Rix, takes us on a trip through time, driving legendary cars like "Sean Connery’s Aston Martin DB5, George Lazenby’s ‘68 DBS, Roger Moore’s Lotus Esprit, Timothy Dalton’s ‘85 V8 Vantage, Pierce Brosnan’s BMW Z8, and Daniel Craig’s DB10".
He also gives us the rundown of all the gadgets, from rocket launchers to machine guns, ejector seats and a Lotus that could take a swim in the sea.
But, there's a surprise too, a cameo with rally-driver turned stunt-driver called Mark Higgins, who is the man behind many of the marvellous chase scenes in many of the movies.
