A car \u201cworthy of 007\u201d himself Ensuring that the car is as true to the movies as possible, AM has worked with Chris Corbould who provided SFX for the last 15 bond films to ensure the car would be \u201cworthy of 007\u201d when completed. Aston Martin is justifiably proud of this project, and have engineered it to last. Each gadget is put through a 5000-cycle testing phase to ensure they are \u201crobust enough\u201d to cater to demanding clients. Not only are the gadgets true to the appearance in the movie, but they all work correctly. The front \u2018machine guns\u2019 are a light-and-sound display that is true to the original, and are seamlessly hidden behind the front indicators when not in use. The rear \u2018oil slick\u2019 dispenser has been replaced with a more environmentally-friendly water dispenser, but it too is fully functional and hidden behind the indicators when not in use. The famous revolving numberplates are fully functional, as is the incredibly effective rear \u2018smokescreen\u2019. The \u201cultimate toy\u201d for Bond fans While the ejector seat couldn\u2019t be made fully functional \u201cfor obvious reasons\u201d AM did still cut the hole out in the roof of the DB5. The in-build GPS is styled as a retro nav system, stored away behind a retractable panel operated by a hidden switch. Perhaps the coolest gadget is the rear retractable bulletproof shield. Not content with simply incorporating a tribute piece, Aston chose to use real bulletproof carbon-kevlar material which has been tested to prove its resistance to small-arms fire. All these gadgets are activated by \u201cthe world\u2019s most famous red button\u201d hidden under a hinged lid atop the shifter. This really is the \u201cultimate toy\u201d for Bond fans according to JWW, and it\u2019s not hard to see why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
