For a Fleeting, High-Speed Moment, We Become Agent 007

In profile, this looks like any other 2008 Aston Martin DBS. But then there's the Italian license plate, not to mention an ever-so-tiny badge on the door sill kickplate that gives the game away entirely. It says "Quantum of Solace," which makes this a very special Aston Martin indeed.
This really is James Bond's car.
Even as the Aston Martin executive hands us the chunky glass key that's known within the company as "the Emotional Control Unit" and the dash display lights up with the words, "Power, Beauty, Soul," we figure that we'd be prevented from driving out of the gate by a hail of gunfire from mysterious men on skis.
But all we had to do was hand over a yellow slip of paper to the man at the factory gate and we were gone, on our own in the 2008 Aston Martin DBS that belongs to James Bond. We didn't even have to kill a man with our bare hands.
If only we were being accompanied by a female sidekick with a suggestive name instead of this blasted photographer.
