2008 Aston Martin DBS - James Bond Quantum of Solace

After seeing that a new James Bond movies is about to be released this year, Skyfall, I realized that I have not blogged about a single James Bond car. A discussion about cars and movies without James Bond? That cannot be!

So I'm posting the first of many more James Bond entries.

Let's begin with the latest that's currently out, Quantum of Solace in 2008. In this movie, James Bond was chased in his Aston Martin DBS by bad guys driving Alfa Romeos. The scene was complete with high-speed driving under a hale of gun fire from automatic rifles, near misses, and spectacular crashes.

What I didn't see were gadgets that made prior James Bond cars mind-blowing. This Aston Martin DBS did not shoot any small arms missiles from beneath the fender or dispensed oil to impede the pursuers. Would we see any gadgets at all in future Bond movies?
