No, the first Bond movie ever that premiered in In classic fashion, the super spy is lured to the apartment of Miss Taro, an enemy spy.
As he drives up a mountainside for a "heart to heart" with Miss Taro, he's ambushed. A car chase soon ensues, but Bond's expert driving skills sees him free of his pursuers as they go tumbling down the mountain in a fiery crash. The English made Sunbeam Alpine was manufactured in jolly old England, a tradition that many Bond cars would follow in the coming years.
Despite it being just his second outing, Bond uses his vehicle once again to enjoy the company of a beautiful woman. In this case, he's enjoying a picnic with the lovely Sylvia Trench. That's when he gets a call from headquarters, and he's summoned back home. However, that doesn't stop him from flipping up the convertible roof to finish his date with Miss Trench.
The Bentley Mark IV was an interesting choice for a Bond, film, as it was 30 years old at the time of the release of the movie. Despite this fact, the Mark IV still makes an excellent addition to the medley of Bond vehicles on this list. Ask any James Bond fan about the top five most iconic cars and the DB5 will most certainly make its way to the top of the list every time.
In terms of recognition, the Aston Martin DB5 has been greatly popularized by the sheer number of movies that it has been featured in. Of course, 's version is equipped with machine guns, tire slashers, an ejection seat and many other nifty little gadgets. It's only right that Bond's first film to take place in Japan should feature the country's first supercar. The Toyota was fast, powerful, and rare.
There were only models produced in total. Sean Connery was too large to move around in the Japanese supercar comfortably, so Toyota quickly modified the traditionally hard top coupe so that Connery could zip around in a special open-top version. The DBS would play a tragic role in this movie. As Bond and his wife are driving in the DBS, she's assassinated through the windshield. The Aston Martin DBS was the latest edition at the time and would make a brief appearance in the next film Diamonds Are Forever as it's being equipped with missiles in the infamous lab of Q.
The Mercury Cougar didn't exactly belong to Bond in this movie. It belonged to his future wife, Tracy Di Vicenzo. With Bond on the run from the bad guys, he had to rely upon the power of the Mercury Cougar and the masterful driving skills of his love interest.
Tracy earns her keep by navigating treacherously icy roads, dodging bullets the whole way. She eventually enters a stock car race track in a bid to outrun their pursuers. Eventually, James and Tracy race away as the bad guys overturn and explode in a glorious fireball.
Sean Connery once again reprises the role of the confident and deadly super spy Bond pulls off a few fancy tricks, and suddenly the cops end up crashing into one another as he zooms away.
There's more to the chase than that, including a point where he's driving on two wheels to make his swift escape, but it certainly showcased the Ford Mustang in all of its glory. Inexperienced field agent Mary Goodnight finds herself kidnapped by the nefarious Francisco Scaramanga forcing Bond to jump to the rescue. He ends up stealing an AMC Hornet by driving it right through the window of the showroom the keys to his vehicle were in the possession of Miss Goodnight. After a tense chase through the streets of Bankok, Bond and his comic relief partner who happened to be in the passenger seat during the theft, end up on the opposite end of a river from Miss Goodnight and Francisco.
What does Bond do? He lines up the AMC Hornet with a collapsed bridge and guns the engine, going aerial and doing a degree spin in the process right over the river.
Needless to say, he and his partner land safely on the other side. As usual, Bond is on the run from the bad guys. With Barbara Bach riding shotgun, Bond has to outrace bad guys on the ground who aren't making his escape easy.
Soon enough a helicopter joins the mix, forcing Bond to drive off a peer and dive into a lake, where, you guessed it, armed frogman lie in wait for him. The Lotus Esprit transforms into a miniature submarine and easily mops up the bad guys both underwater and in the air. The scene ends with bond driving back onto land past a group of tourists as if the entire affair never happened. Clearly, the chase scene involving the Lotus from the previous movie was exciting enough to prompt the return of the vehicle, though this time with a more supped up model.
