The 15 Best James Bond Cars Ranked
By JEREMY HERBERT
15. BMW Z3
Though Pierce Brosnan drove the legendary Aston Martin DB5 first, it was the BMW Z3 that got the ad campaign. It was eye candy, with only one true gadget in its arsenal — persuasion. Bond was back, brand new, and preferred BMW.
14. Sunbeam Alpine II
Before James Bond was a multi-billion dollar enterprise and the second longest-running franchise in film history, he was the poor man's gun-for-hire. The Sunbeam Alpine II may be quaint in retrospect, but it made the mold, Bond was just as dangerous on the road as he was everywhere else.
13. Renault 11 TXE
Bond cars may be synonymous with high tech prowess, but some of the series' finest are run of the mill vehicles. When 007 hijacks a Parisian taxi, it's nothing special, but by the end of the resulting race, as if by suave osmosis, it defies the very foundations of automotive engineering.
12. Toyota 2000GT Roadster
Bond's first trip to Japan provided a last-ditch opportunity for Toyota. The Toyota 2000GT changed the image of Japan's automotive industry on the grandest possible stage and still claims fans in high places to this day — it's Daniel Craig's favorite Bond car.
11. Aston Martin DB10
The Aston Martin DB10 was unveiled in December 2014, almost 50 years to the day James Bond first drove his DB5 in "Goldfinger." It's all curve, nothing but black and silver, the Bond car in pure abstract and the perfect way to bring dashboard gadgetry into the Craig era.
