Aston Martin has come to a deal with MGM/Columbia pictures that will put the Aston Martin DBS in the hands of James Bond one more time with the working title "Bond 22," .Aston Martin DBS will again make appearance in its second Bond film in-a-row.
Even though Bentley was the manufacturer of choice for Bond in the Ian Flemming novels, Aston Martin will be driven its sixth Bond movie when Bond 22 is released next November. Ford has had the most Bond on-screen time, with ine models appearing in the 21 films in the series but not including the Mercury and Lincoln used in License to Kill.
Aside from the prestige brought to the brand by having the DBS in another Bond film, the brand recognition that comes with an appearance in one of the movies is invaluable.Also worth mentioning is the ability of the DBS as a stunt car. Aston Martin has the dubious honor of being in the Guiness Book of World Records for "Most Cannon Rolls In A Car" after stuntman Adam Kirley rolled the DBS seven times in a single take for Casino.
