Finally, the full trailer for the latest James Bond movie 'Skyfall' has landed. All Bond fans and car nuts will be wondering if a new Aston Martin will make the final film. The trailer suggests not but some interviews with movie makers suggest they are keeping their cards very close to their chest.
Whilst we can't confirm a new Aston Martin will be making an appearance, there will be an old friend that we've seen before, Bond's Silver-birch DB5.
As seen on Goldfinger, this DB5 is one of the most famous cars in the world thanks to its appearance in 1964. It features bulletproof glass all round, registration plates that change with the flick of a switch, machine guns on each side of the car, smokescreens and a passenger ejector seat.
The trailer doesn't give away too much about other cars that will be used. However, after putting on my anorak and my eagle eye I have found a couple of interesting appearances.
As expected, a JLR product. This is a Land Rover Defender 110 pick up which is a proper off-roader that would make mince-meat of the roughest rough surfaces. The load-bay at the back is an ideal platform for shooting baddies as it gives you a clear view and you can stand up straight but it won't protect you as much as the boot of the standard car. One of these is cheaper than the Range Rover Sport featured in Quantum of Solace with prices starting at £21,410.
Here's the scene where he's loading the gun he can only use if it recognises his fingerprints. The steering wheel looks like one you would find in a Mercedes and judging by the fat B pillar behind Bond and the roof not being that low, I'm guessing it's an S Class.
More JLR products in the backround of this cap showing a couple of Discoveries in service with the police. One car that caught my eye is the one that zooms past Bond on the left. At first glance, I thought it was a Jaguar XF but surprisingly it is actually a Kia Optima! A clever cost-cutting measure by the police there as an Optima has a much lower starting price than the XF of £19,595 rather than £29,940.
Skyfall is the twenty-third installment of the James Bond series and the third for Daniel Craig. We'll have to wait a while before we will see it as it is not out in cinemas until October 2012. Check out the video and guess below which new Aston you think will appear if you reckon there'll be one.
