James Bond is going electric with battery-powered Aston Martin in next film, report says
FoxNews.com/auto ^ | Mar 14, 2019 | Gary Gastelu | Fox News

An insider close to the film claims that 007 will be getting behind the wheel of a battery-powered Aston Martin for the soon-to-be-shot blockbuster’s signature action sequence.

The car is a limited edition Rapide E sedan, which goes on sale next year, according to The Sun.

Based on an existing gasoline-powered model, it replaces the engine and gas tank with its zero-emissions drivetrain components and sends 600 hp to the rear wheels through twin electric motors.

Only 155 will be offered at $300,000 each, but Bond’s will be unique, equipped with all of the sorts of gadgets you’d expect Q Branch to add.

The source told the newspaper that director Cary Joji Fukunaga is a “total tree hugger” and pushed to use the car with the support of star Daniel Craig.

“Everybody is afraid of Bond getting labeled ‘too PC’ but they all felt the time was right to put him in a zero-emission vehicle.”

I’ve said for years that if aliens came to this planet and only had movies to go by, they would think that half of our presidents are either black or female, and that everybody uses Apple computers.

And for the stunts, it will be replaced with a real car, with a real gasoline engine. But they won’t tell you that.

What next? a homosexual James Bond? who beds men in between fighting spies? That should be just fabulous!

When Bond’s battery runs low he’ll just shoot a passerby and take their car

I guess we can rule out Venezuela as the setting for the film.

So Bond is moving from a gasoline powered supercar to a coal powered vehicle that has limited “performance” in cold weather.

Good grief....what’s next for Bond?

"So Bond is moving from a gasoline powered supercar to a coal powered vehicle that has limited “performance” in cold weather."

Maybe that's the plot of the next Bond movie. Some multi-billionaire evil overlord is going to try to bring the future western world to a standstill by irradiating all the coal mines before we all switch over to clean wind energy powered by cows farting at windmills. :)
