The Most Exceptional Cars From The James Bond Franchise

Fancy cars and James Bond have become synonymous. There are no 007 films where the viewers don't get to see Bond pull off a life-threatening stunt inside of a sleek vehicle complete with insane gadgets. "007, may I remind you, you have a license to kill, not to break the traffic laws." How can he not disobey the rules while inside of a 2002 Jaguar XKR? Bond's ride collection throughout the franchise is enough to impress the biggest car enthusiasts. Here are some of the best Bond cars.

2015 Aston Martin DB10 - Spectre

We wanted to start things off with this beautiful piece of mechanical bliss. The 2015 Aston Martin DB10 from Spectre is not only sleek, but it's highly rare. This is a prototype, and there are only ten in the world. They specially made this one for James Bond.

If you're a Bond fan and you have money in the reserves, you could buy one of these for $3.5 million. That's how much the last one sold for, but we doubt it'll be on the market again anytime soon.

2002 Ford Thunderbird - Die Another Day

Die Another Day features one of the most hyped Bond girls ever, Halle Berry as Jinx. The 2002 Ford Thunderbird wasn't Bond's actual car, but rather what Jinx arrived in for a party.

It's sleek, red, and compliments Berry exceptionally well. We're sad Bond didn't get to use it, but we're sure he would have made it look even more sensational. This car is on the market, and you can find it priced between $8,000 and $30,000 depending on the condition.

1996 BMW Z3 - Goldeneye

In the Bond franchise, Pierce Brosnan became one of the more popular actors to portray the secret agent. During his run, Goldeneye stood out as one of his better performances, and the cars in it were sweet.

One of them worth mentioning is the 1996 BMW Z3. The surprising part is that you can own one of these for a considerably low price. Q, Bond's boss, gave him this vehicle, so to be able to own one at a price somewhere between $4,000 and $9,000 is a great deal.

1976 Lotus Esprit S1 - The Spy Who Loved Me

We've seen Bond pull off plenty of wild tricks over time, but the stunt he did in The Spy Who Loved Me was pretty insane. After a big car chase on land, the 1976 Lotus Esprit S1 plunged right into the water and transformed into a submarine!

1967 Toyota 2000GT - You Only Live Twice

Here we have another vehicle that Bond didn't drive, but rather Japanese S.I.S Agent Aki. She showed up to save Bond from a sour death and proceeded to show off some impressive driving skills.

The crazy part about this car is that Toyota hadn't put the 2000GT into full production yet at the time of You Only Live Twice. They had to customize this version so that Sean Connery wouldn't look ridiculous with his head sticking out from the top. Converting it to a roadster from a convertible was the best plan of action.

1999 BMW Z8 - The World Is Not Enough

ADVERTISEMENT

Bond brought back the BMW Z8 in The World Is Not Enough after it received tons of fanfare from Goldeneye. While they didn't even use the Goldeneye version that much, things changed this time around.

This version of the vehicle featured tiny missiles that erected from the side gills that Bond could control with the steering wheel. When this vehicle experienced the fate of getting chopped in half with helicopter blades, audiences everywhere groaned with dissatisfaction.

1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air - Dr. No

Sean Connery starred in the Dr. No Bond film, which featured a classic ride. The first car ever driven in the Bond franchise is the 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air that makes you want to cruise the California highway.

The hype around this vehicle skyrocketed not long after the release of this movie, which increased the price too. Purchasing one can set you back anywhere between $13,000 and $130,000, but at least it's not as expensive as the DB10.

1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 - Diamonds Are Forever

Bond and Tiffany Case ride in the Ford Mustang Mach 1 as they evade the police through downtown Las Vegas in Diamonds Are Forever. Fans got to witness the famous scene where the Mustang goes on two wheels, helping add to the allure of 007.

Actress extraordinaire Famke Janssen had the honors of driving the 1995 Ferrari 355 GTS from Goldeneye, and it was a beautiful sight. Janssen played Xenia Onatopp, the femme fatale of the movie, and used this beast to challenge Bond to a race!

For Your Eyes Only featured an incredible-looking Lotus Esprit Turbo that Roger Moore's Bond drives around the ski resort town of Cortina d'Ampezzo. It had a deep red paint, clean vinyl, and gold wheels to top it off.

Many things from the Bond franchise are unattainable, but we're not talking gadgets strictly. No Time Die features the Aston Martin Valhalla, a car no one could drive except James Bond.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Series III - The Living Daylights

The 1987 Bond film, The Living Daylights, starred Timothy Dalton as 007, with Maryam d'Abo as his leading lady. Many feel the Dalton Bond films weren't that spectacular, but you can't say that about the cars.

Renault 11 TXE - A View To A Kill

Take a look at the Renault 11 TXE from A View to a Kill. It doesn't look like much compared to any of the others we've listed, but that's okay. Roger Moore played Bond as he needed to get away from Grace Jones, so he hijacked this ride.

Ashton Martin Vanquish - Die Another Day

Pierce Brosnan played the Bond role perfectly, and in Die Another Day, he received the best fit for his character. Brosnan had the honor of sporting one of the more bullish and muscular Bond cars we've seen, the Aston Martin Vanquish.

It had a neat trick that let it go invisible, and it had rockets that came out of the front grill. Sadly, the DB5 eventually took over for the Vanquish, but it's one 007 car for the books.

Jaguar CX-75 - Spectre

As we become more technologically advanced in the world, Bond gets better cars. Daniel Craig gets the pleasure of at least witnessing some of the sweetest rides ever seen, and the Jaguar CX-75 from Spectre was no different.

The Jaguar was the bad guy's car in this film, and it was an extraordinary sight. Craig chases this beast around Rome in his Aston Martin DB10, so it makes it look even better. We're only slightly jealous this franchise gets to utilize cars that don't go into full production.

Before Bond pulled off his sideway antics in the Mustang from Diamonds Are Forever, he drove a Triumph Stag. He drives the beauty to Amsterdam when he poses as a diamond smuggler called Franks.

Aston Martin DB5 - Goldfinger

Arguably the most iconic Bond car is the Aston Martin DB5 from the Goldfinger film. It fit Sean Connery's style like a glove and looked like it fell from the heavens above.

1958 Bentley S1 - A View To A Kill

When you're going out looking to buy horses, you must do it in a Bentley. That's the law after Bond did it in A View to a Kill, as he went undercover as a prospective horse buyer.

The 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III was the car of choice for Goldfinger, the villain in the James Bond movie named after him. Part of what makes this beauty stand out is that its interior panels are highlighted by gold.

2008 Alfa Romeo 159 - Quantum of Solace

Despite being a slick car, the Alfa Romeo 159 wasn't driven by Bond. Instead, Bond's enemies drove this car in the beginning of Quantum of Solace. Even so, Alfa Romeo was so thrilled about the car's cameo that they released a James Bond version, which included a stick shift and Oppo spec.

You probably wouldn't believe it, but the price of the 2006 Ford Mondeo from Casino Royale was higher than all the Aston Martins in the film. This is because the car was a prototype.

1981 Alfa Romeo GTV - Octopussy
