Everyone loves mystery, thriller, action, romance, and murder, right? Maybe not the actual murder as much as solving one. But the cherry on the top has always been car chases. At least for car fans, that is. Only a few movies can combine all of these successfully, and Ian Fleming\u2019s James Bond<\/a> is one of them.<\/p>\n

As iconic as the gadgets that Q designed for the world’s most famous secret agent, like micro ring cameras, cigarette toothpaste bombs, umbrella rifles, car invisible cloak, and whatnot, each James Bond movie also made a point of featuring a couple of noteworthy vehicles.<\/p>\n

After all, nothing can beat good ol’ gunfights and fast cars, right? Maybe not so much a Martini, no matter how well it is shaken but not stirred.<\/p>\n

So without further ado, here are the best, somewhat in-between, and worst cars featured in the James Bond franchise.<\/p>\n

Best James Bond Cars<\/h2>\n

\"Alfa<\/a><\/p>\n

Alfa Romeo GTV6 – Octopussy (1983)<\/h3>\n

In the movie titled “Octopussy” (not at all sexist), double O seven, in the heat of the action, gently “borrows” Alfa Romeo<\/a> GTV6 from a lady using a telephone booth (google it). He then presses the pedal to the metal escaping from the police.<\/p>\n

That gorgeous golden brown Alfa is a front-engine rear-wheel-drive mean machine. You can recognize that it hides the 2.5L V6 engine by the bulge on the hood, making space for the air intake.<\/p>\n

Chased by a police BMW 5 Series (E28) and police motorcycle BMW R100CS, Bond, played by elegant Roger Moore, escapes all their tricks and gets out unscathed in the Italian coupe (surprise surprise). The GTV6 was undeniably one of the most beautiful and popular Alfa Romeos for years to come.<\/p>\n

\"Toyota<\/a><\/p>\n

Toyota 2000GT – You Only Live Twice (1967)<\/h3>\n

Probably the most iconic Japanese sports car ever made, the Toyota<\/a> 2000GT had the leading (automotive) role in the quite optimistically titled movie You Only Live Twice. In a scene where one of the best James Bond actors ever, the great Sir Sean Connery, is picked up by a lovely girl and saved from the villains driving another Toyota.<\/p>\n

The Black Toyota Crown had the same inline-6 2.0-liter engine as the white Toyota 2000GT convertible, which was, and still is, an elegant piece of engineering. Worth mentioning, the coupe model was too low for Sean Connery (1.88 cm\/6′ 2″), so a convertible version was designed and created in a record time.<\/p>\n
