Aston Martin has provided two cars for the film, and only one of them equipped with gadgets. Bond is sent to Switzerland for DB5 and suddenly finds himself a party to a car chase with a pretty blonde on the Ford Mustang. Obeying his ruthless nature, he releases the built-in wheels and saw tears tires 'Mustang', then rushes to the aid of the lady. The machine appears in this film, as well as in the 'Fireball', and then sell it in 2010 at auction for 2, 6 million pounds.

Was built only two Toyota 2000GT with a removable roof, and they were intended specifically for this film. Toyota, driven by a Japanese agent Aki, not too often appears in the frame: the car used to pick Bongda when he escapes from the factory Osato Chemicals.

The attentive viewer will notice a mistake in this episode with the machine Bond immediately. Ford Mustang Mach 1, driven by the driver sits hero Sean Connery, enters into a narrow lane on two wheels on the right side, and travels from there to the wheels on the left. This scene was shot in two different places: in the pavilion Universal Studios (uphill) on Fremont Street in Las Vegas (leaving).

The scene where the AMC Hornet jumps over a broken bridge in Thailand, is one of the most daring stunts Bond. Scene is shot in one take. Instead Roger Moore at the moment the driver sits behind the wheel stunt 'Bamps' Uilliard that makes a 360-degree spin and flies from one river bank to the other. Hornet was heavily modified for tricks - with a new chassis and steering wheel, which is installed in the middle.

It is unlikely that you will choose as a vehicle to escape Citroen 2CV, but Bond - not the usual driver. He demonstrates his talents on a hillside in Spain, where a unique suspension Citroen successfully overcomes bumps on the road through the olive grove and carries an agent of the villains in their Peugeot 504. 2CV was actually adapted for the film and is equipped with four-cylinder in-line engine of the Citroen GS. The scene where the 2CV jumps over the Peugeots - it's a classic.

Two of these rickshaws Bajaj Auto RE used in the pursuit through the streets of Udaipur. Bond and fellow MI6 agent Vijay go to one, and Govinda and his followers pursued them in another. Fortunately, the rickshaw driven by a Vijay, improved MI6: here a more powerful motorcycle Honda, which allows Vijay put the bike on its hind legs. These machines are called 'tuk-tuk' because of the specific sound of the motor. Bajaj design based on Piaggio Ape 1956.

Thinking about safety first Bond forgets to wear a helmet. Connery was persuaded to star in a remake of the informal 'Fireball', offering him as much as $ 5 million, which by the standards of that time was a huge amount.

This advertising can clearly see the skis and special ski on specially modified Lotus Esprit. It is a pity that the machine occupies a modest place in the film, while the center of attention becomes involved in the pursuit Citroen 2CV.

In a famous scene early in the film Bond, played by Timothy Dalton, hurtling down the winding road in Gibraltar in the Land Rover Defender, which then jumps off a cliff. Bond jumps with a parachute from the doomed Land Rover, which falls into the sea. Of course, he lands on the yacht of a beautiful woman.

750iL equipped with rocket launchers, studded tires and bullet-proof body. However, as Demo Bond machine is not completely invulnerable.

BMW Z8 closes the deal on advertising, enclosed on three films with BMW, after Z3 in 'GoldenEye' and BMW 750iL in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'. Unfortunately, we have not seen as Bond experiences in combat supercar since it is cut in half by helicopter. Z8 became something of a cult car and is very valuable.

When Bond, who again plays Pierce Brosnan, is introduced to the base of the North Korean army, walking on the trail of African blood diamonds, his sworn enemy, Colonel Tan-Sun Moon escapes hovercraft, and special agent chasing him around. Moon disappears, jumping off a waterfall, and Bond caught and sent to prison for 14 months.

After his incarceration, Bond meets Kew, who in a secret laboratory on the territory of the London Underground shows him the new Aston Martin Vanquish. Enters an empty wagon Mestre and puzzled Bond Kew says: 'You must have stayed down here too long', then Vanquish, or Vanish ('disappearance'), as it is called Kew, suddenly materialized in front of them.
