Not only in the film, but also during the filming, a driver wrecked a DBS by driving it into Lake Garda by accident while just delivering the car to the set.Īccording to Aston Martin: 'The DBS is not of the understated elegance of a DB9, nor the youthful agility of the V8 Vantage. In this film, again the car is almost completely wrecked after being chased and shot at by villains in Alfa Romeo 159 cars. The car used in the opening scene of Quantum of Solace is a dark grey version, in stead of the silver grey from Casino Royale.

In the crash, the DBS barrel-rolled seven times, in the process breaking the record for a cannon-assisted barrel roll (the stunt car had an air-powered cannon behind the driver). Special features of the car include a secret compartment which contains Bond's Walther P99 gun, and an emergency medical kit with components of an emergency medical link to MI6, and a small defibrillator. Bond receives the car in Montenegro (filmed in Czech Republic) and wrecks it in a spectacular way after a short chase. The DBS featured in Casino Royale is silver grey. James Bond drives the Aston Martin DBS, the successor of the Vanquish, in the 007 films, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.
