Pierce Brosnan's Aston Martin in "Die Another Day" was a beast.Invisibility mode,remote controlled,guns,rocket launchers...the list goes on.easy on the eye as well
The original Vanquish S was a magnificent car, even if a lot of its interior fixtures came from the Ford parts bin and it butted heads with its own sister. And watching Brosnan whip it around Iceland with a minigun-equipped Jag on his tail was one of the reasons why Die Another Day is my favorite Bond flick.
This is the first modern TG video without Chris Harris that I have thoroughly enjoyed. Great video here lads! I have to say that the Esprit would be my pick. Lovely cars and presentation
Harsaran Hehar I did not say it was on the show I simply said it was the first modern TG video without chris Harris that has been truly worth while. I stand by that . Cheers!!
I would've preferred the Vanquish from Die Another Day to represent the Pierce Brosnan era, and the DBS from Casino Royale is more iconic than the DB10 in the Daniel Craig era.
@Mr. Cairo The 750iL is a good car, but it's just not a proper Bond car. And yes, the Vanquish had a horrible transmission, but that really didn't matter on screen.
@@vodacomtablet0079 bruh, I mean the DB5 was already driven by Sean Connery and Daniel Craig in Goldfinger and Skyfall. In the Brosnan era, the DB5 only had a little screen time. (Goldeneye) AND EON STUDIOS DID NOT SIGN A CONTACT WITH ASTON MARTIN SINCE THE ROGER MOORE ERA UNTIL 2002.
If you can wait another fifty years, you'll get a successor. BMW sees the Z8 as a follow up on the 507, which had similar problems. Didn't sell too well because of the price, but very well liked by everyone who couldn't afford one. Guessing by what they're doing at the moment, I'd say we are due for an M1 replacement first and the Z8 will get some sort of replacement in the 2050-2060 range.
This is the best top gear video I think I’ve ever seen including the old trio. The editing the cars everything felt like a love letter to the history of bond I loved every second
I was a huge fan of the Vanquish with a V8 from a Mustang in Die another day, and the chase sequence in TLD with the vantage. Amazing callbacks to the Goldfinger DB5 with something unique of their own
My dad’s a huge Bond fan, after showing him the Aston Martin Valhalla from SupercarBlondie, we started talking about all the cars Bond drove in the films. When he told me he was given a BMW, I gave him this face: 🤨 but now after looking at it, it doesn’t actually look that bad.
In my opinion the DB5 is THE Bond car! When I think of James Bond the DB5 immediately comes to my mind along with the "Bond, James Bond" line and vodka martini.
To my mind, the V8 Vantage from The Living Daylights is THE perfect Bond car... Not because of its gadgets but simply for its appearance and sonorous tone. Those muscular "muscle car" lines exude power even more than Bullitt's Mustang! The archetypal "Brute in a Suit", if ever there was one!!!
I agree, Jeremy Clarkson once described the V8 Vantage and its variants as "Merlin engined shore horses" "jet propelled stately homes" and "Blenheim palace going sideways" and if I could pick any one of those cars to keep Dalton's Vantage would be the one.
Beautiful video! Jack really did a good job in this video. And the cars, the music, the editing, it was all brilliant. This is the kind of content everyone want to see!
The double James Bond car that does the stunts is an awesome car, that bad boy can make anyone believe that the original can do the same thing. That gadgets the oil spill the smoke even the machine gun hidden at the rear covered by the Austin Martin emblem and the drifting brings a smile to my face to the point of laughter . Great documentary. That's what I call "Top gear" show cars
This is by far the best Top Gear video since the holy trinity were expelled and you are by far better than any of the current presenters. Please Top Gear just change the show to this. Have this man be the host with a couple of his mates and just do good car reviews. This was perfect.
Great video, beautifully shot. Love that Lotus Interior 😍 Hope the new movie is better than Spectre 😭 The DB10 was beautiful, but the car chase was bobbins.
People seem to forget the modern DBS was announced as bonds new car before it was announced as a production car, a more radical and aggressive db9 at the time specifically tailored for 007. I still have that issue of CAR magazine. Love Astons and am proud to work for them
6:35 Side door of the V8 Vantage doesn't seem to be closed properly and that kinda triggers my OCD Anyway, every time I see it, I think about it as "the British Mustang"
Funny you should say that. I was introduced to Aston Martin circa 1980 by a car magazine article (Car & Driver? Motor Trend? Not sure) and I remember well them saying the Aston V8 was the perfect bank heist getaway car because a) Nobody would know what it was and would describe it as looking like a Ford Mustang, and b) It drove like a scalded Peterbilt. Heavy as F***, but fast like a Ferrari.
There is something astonishingly mindbending seeing a DB5 drift. If they ever start selling those fibreglass bodied kit cars, sign me up. The DB5 is beautiful without the Bond pedigree.

Does it come with missiles? If not, I'll stick to my 911. 😣
Came here because I saw the Valhalla. Not even engine note
The Valhalla looks like a duck
The replica sounds like Patrick Snijers at Ypres in an old school M3
Casino Royale DBS dearly missed.
was thinking this as it was my Era of Aston
The invisible vanquish lol
In my oppinion still one of the best looking Aston Martin! The (DB9) DBS!😊
Alfa Romeo GTV6 from Octopussy cries from a distance.
Ran out of money 😄
He had such a Richard Hammond vibe in this video, and I loved that.
Like a discount, Harbour Freight or Walmart version.
Kirkland Richard Hammond
HELL YEAH if you don't look at his face you can really enjoy this as Richard Hammond!
Pop up head lamps :)
If you want hamster vibe just go and watch grand tour.
In the subtitles when the motor Is playing: music
16:59
The subtitles are not wrong
Accurate
And drifting is applause
it is music 😍
They’ve clearly missed out on only the most epic of 007 driving scenes. James with his rental Ford Mondeo 😉

And Renault 11
Or a yellow 2CV

Heresy.
@@twotailedavenger 😤
Agreed, Brosnan’s Vanquish to this day is the bleeding edge pinnacle of Q branch’s automotive wizardry.
It didn't really go invisible. It's vfx
Lazenby's DBS also appeared in Diamonds Are Forever during the Q Branch scene in the backround.
This is the first modern TG video without Chris Harris that I have thoroughly enjoyed. Great video here lads! I have to say that the Esprit would be my pick. Lovely cars and presentation
This isn't going to be on the show
The guy that drove the cars is from the magazine, not the TV show
It’s not them it’s hard not to love bond cars
Fat Munch so true

So there is a carbon fiber DB5 perfect looking replica that is a crazy drift machine.
A new life goal established.
If there‘s no DBS (2006), there is no „best“ in the title justified.
yes could not agree more,
Or Pierce’s Vanquish ( Vanish ).
absoutley agree! and the vanquish-vanish takes the second place
Heck with this line up the Renault 11 should've been used.
@@afranca1825 Don't be an imbecile...that's just silly....and you know it !!
That's the best looking E46 M3 I've ever seen
I knew someone would’ve noticed the BMW sounding DB5. Glad you picked up on it
Clever one you are
HAAHHAHHAHAHAHA S54 sound out of a half decade old car
@@TooCoolForSchool97 They actually stated it was a 6cyl German car. There’s only one that matches that sound.
That editing was flawless.
As what can you expect from Top Gear franchise
Apart from 6:07 when his hair fell off :-)

1:10 that transition.. woah
I would've preferred the Vanquish from Die Another Day to represent the Pierce Brosnan era, and the DBS from Casino Royale is more iconic than the DB10 in the Daniel Craig era.

Hello... You're forgetting the Ford Mondeo from Casino Royale!
@@paddybeadle9090 I'm sure everyone else did.
Yes loved both cars
No AMC?
That Vantage just looks exquisite
The DB5 stunt car sounds like an E46 M3
Definitely, very curious about what exactly is under the hood
My guess would be a e36
(The stunt cars use S54 BMW engines, actually)
You know what I think so too. Surely those aren't really the original DB5. I think they kit cars with BMW engines.
@@aowen1079 it is exact replica
RIP Sean Connery(1930 - 2020). Thank u for all your movies.
Jaguar C-X75 from the Spectre would have been nice
Yes, except it's the villain car!
Unfortunately, there aren't many great villain cars in the series.
Yeah real shame that
Ahem, Christopher Lee’s flying car !
The Jag C-X 75 is the most advanced and best looking Jaguar ever! Such a shame it never went into production...
Finally a top gear episode that I really enjoyed
Totally agree. Harkens back to a time when it was more about the cars and less about the presenter's egos.
This guy could replace Freddy or Paddy imo
Like a Forza Horizon 4 James Bond Car Pack in Real Life 🤣😍
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly! 😂
Except no 2cv
@@theyoutubeguy1 nah
Without the 2cv
Kudos to the director, DoP, and editor. This is a joy to watch

The Living Daylights Vantage has always been one of the greatest road cars I've ever wanted. I will be watching the new movie just to see it.
I loved that car, too. I was disappointed that they didn't show more of it in No Time To Die.
I clicked expecting to see the 750iL...I LEFT DISAPPOINTED
My dissapointment is immeasureable and my day is ruined.
Jk, i also like the Z8 and The V12 Vanquish.
The bmw is not even a good bond car the db5 is a good one

But the db5 raced a ferrari
@@vodacomtablet0079 Yeah, but it's not as Iconic as Connery's DB5.
And not as popular than the other Pierce Brosnan's other cars.
Damn, that DB5's stunt double car is one angry beast, I love it.
That bmw is an often forgotten gem....wish they would do a modernized version of this
oh man, for sure, replace the new Z4 asap haha
By all means, create a modern Z8 to ruin the name.
And people will blame BMW for ruining the Original Z8 design.. 😂😂😂😂
You mean the E38 750iL that can be controlled with a phone? Thats the real forgotten gem.
If you can wait another fifty years, you'll get a successor. BMW sees the Z8 as a follow up on the 507, which had similar problems.

The V8 Vantage may be my favorite Aston of all time. Truly a British Mustang.
I think Clarkson once described that line of Vantage with the Lagonda V8 (albeit a twin supercharged version) as a "Rolls Royce with attitude"
The original V8 Vantage is the coolest looking Aston
dazzaburger Yeah, like a british muscle car.
dazzaburger The 2009 DBS and the current DBS Superleggera are cooler imo
@@iamwritingrightnow8217 your opinion is wrong imo.
Haha. Superfuckgerra. Retards car.
DBS was nice, but this old one is badass
dazzaburger Agreed, looks mean and clean.
This is the best top gear video I think I’ve ever seen including the old trio. The editing the cars everything felt like a love letter to the history of bond I loved every second
Now this is how your tv show should look ! Thanks
85 V8 Vantage, but the last Lemans version they did, dream car
The Lotus underwater version can be seen on the older Top Gear episode
I got to sit in in the one that did the conversion and fiddle about with it at a car show in Indio (I think) when I was about 8.
Elon Musk recently bought the car
That was actually a Lotus Excel (the original Esprit it's just to expensive and rare to transform into a submarine)
14:52 when 10 year olds swap aventador engines and LS motors into db5s in forza horizon 4
Yeah I was wondering why did it sound too modern, later found out it's actually an E46 M3
Yes so the db5 replica sounds like an E46 M3

DB5 to infinity and beyond 😍
She is God gifted 😍
Missing a few great cars like the DBS from Casino Royale!
Come on then, which one's joining your fleet?
The Aston Martin.
Hell Yeah, Aston DB10 or DB5, I m happy with both...
Lotus Esprit s 1
Classic -DB5
Modern- DB10(I have the watch---so might as well match it up)
Db10
When I saw that DB5.... With that shot....with that music .....
It's like imagining a story told by your grandfather😍
( 12:15 )
The editing and production of this video is incredible. So clean and well done! Thanks TopGear!
jon doe haha disagree, I love Harris. Fave journalist
Guessing you just love TopGear and that’s about it? Brill
DB5 is so fantastic perfect, im in love with that shape.
Arguably more famous than any of the men that have play Bond
Sean Connery: Really?
You meant "Shiriously?"
Andi McGaw
Sean Connery and also Roger Moore: Seriously?
connery was way the most popular when you ask old folk hes a better actor than pout his lips like a 20 yr old social media dweeb craig!
I am Shirious and quit calling me Shirley.
''Are you sheerious?''
Brosnan had some greats. The invisible vanquish, the gadget full 7 series come to mind.
The DB10 is one of my favorite cars
It’s like the modern Bond car
No
Always been partial to the V12 Vanquish myself.
"Aston Martin calls it the vanquish, we call it, the Vanish."
In my opinion the DB5 is THE Bond car! When I think of James Bond the DB5 immediately comes to my mind along with the "Bond, James Bond" line and vodka martini.
Yes. So much yes.
I totally agree. If I were James Bond, the DB5 is the car for me.
Lotus Esprit; brilliant outside, but looks like a Bay City Rollers gig on the inside. Looks good with flares. The 70s have a lot to answer for.
Lets be honest: Nothing beats the DB5... When it comes to Bond Car iconic status anyway.
All hail the king of Bond Cars. 😎👍
Agreed 100%
Loved the Essex Esprit with the skis on the back. Well it was white then orange, my all time fave since childhood
Db10 is so good looking
Thomas Prime Studios they could’ve made a few thousands of those
키코kiko Well the new vantage is kind of like the production version of it.
The DBS looks and sounds stunning. A proper Bond car. Not at all disappointing.

*driving half million db5 "we are in chill mode"
*Driving 2.5 million db10 "FULL SEND"
Might also have something to do with the DB5 being much better at chill than thrill. It's heavy, soft and lumbering, even compared to a Jag E-type.
Z8 is just timeless 😍
What a beautiful piece of art ❤️

The 1970 "Mustang "Mach 1" was re-designed to look like the 1967 Aston DBS.
To me, the s1 Lotus Esprit was the dog's ######, at eight years old in 1977 seeing it up on the big screen for the first time was AMAZING
How could you miss the eternally sexy DBS
Very surprised there no vanquish in this. My favourite is the vantage. Each car are a perfect example of their time periods
What a great video and easily the best presenter Top Gear TV hasn't had. 👍📺
Chris Baggins May apart from Clarkson, May, and Hammond.
