Say hi to the rather sexy One-77, Aston Martin’s new V12 coupe - the first new AM since the company was sold to Ford. Aston will make only 77 models (hence the name, which is provisional), and each customer will be able to customise the supercar to their personal tastes.
The tale of the tape? The One-77 will be powered by a hand-built 7-litre V12 engine, front-mounted and contained within a sleek aluminum and carbon-fibre chassis. It’ll propel you from 0-60 in 3.5-seconds, and has a top speed of more than 200mph (some reports have claimed 220mph).
Daniel Craig’s 007 is back. Here’s the first official trailer
After a couple of accidents involving stunt vehicles, the makers of the latest Bond film, A Quantum of Solace, have finally treated us to a first look at the movie. It’s got car chases, speedboat chases, hot girls, and agents in tuxedos delivering Martini dry one-liners. It looks like a Bond film. We can’t wait until 31 October ‘08, when it’s released in the UK.
James Bond’s Aston goes for a dip during filming of new 007 movie
James Bond’s iconic Aston Martin DBS had to be winched out of Lake Garda after a stunt driver lost control of the car in wet conditions and plunged off the road. He wasn’t seriously hurt but the supercar – apparently the only one available to the makers of “Quantum of Solace”, 007’s latest outing – was a write-off. Watch an Italian TV report of the incident after the link…
LA Lakers basketball star jumps speeding car. Maybe…
We don’t doubt that Bryant, who stands 6ft 6in tall, is athletic enough to pull off a stunt like this. But we do doubt that his employers, the Los Angeles Lakers, would let him even try. The clip is a viral ad for Nike’s new Hyperdunk b-ball shoes, or “sneakers” as we understand they’re called in the States.
