James Bond’s iconic vehicles – from the Aston Martin DB5 with its ejector seat in ‘Goldfinger' to ‘The Spy Who Loved Me's underwater Lotus Esprit – take centre stage in ‘James Bond Cars', a lavish new coffee table book from Assouline, available now.
Curated and introduced by Chris Corbould OBE, the Academy Award-winning special effects supervisor who has worked on fifteen Bond films, the 328-page volume explores the cars, boats, aircraft and extraordinary contraptions that have defined six decades of Bond cinema. Beyond the legendary Aston Martins, readers can expect in-depth looks at Daniel Craig’s high-speed chase in Rome, ‘You Only Live Twice's “Little Nellie” autogyro, and even the gondola-turned-hovercraft from ‘Moonraker'.
‘James Bond Cars' is the third fully authorised Bond title from luxury publisher Assouline, following ‘James Bond Destinations' and ‘James Bond Style'. Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, it blends behind-the-scenes insights with striking photography, offering both a visual catalogue and an insider’s account of how Bond’s world of machines came to life on screen.
Published in Assouline’s signature large-format design (25 x 33 cm), the book is available to order. For more information, visit the 007 Store.
