Junk Bonds: 5 Car companies (unofficially) cashing in on the 007 craze — via drivingdotca JamesBond 007

So let’s look at these slightly skewed James Bond tributes, all released within just the past month, through that lens. Besides, here’s something even potentially more embarrassing than any of the brands on this list shamelessly joining in on 007 fever: your author, who is generally of sound mind and body, will defend to the death his opinion that the Brosnan-era Bond flicks were good and enjoyable films.

But does the new styling work? Well — maybe. From certain angles – particularly straight-on – the front looks like a DB5, albeit one that’s suffering an allergic reaction from a bee sting. The front three-quarter view is especially difficult, exposing the challenges when trying to mate sculpted DB5 fender styling with a modern car and all its safety equipment — not to mention making room for the V12.

As one of its Valiance models, this Tuxedo Black seems to build on other inky offerings like its All Blacks and Mystic Black options. The company installs a set of its own-design wheels, then goes ahead and says ‘yes’ to much of the Land Rover accessory catalog — all of which is dipped in a vat of black paint, of course.

Taking the donor car down to its bones, the company installs an electric powertrain while also upgrading other ancillaries to modern standards. In other words, the driver will be able to stop this thing after quickly getting it up to speed using the instant torque of an electric motor. The new batteries range in size from 80 to 120 kWh and are compatible with fast-charging, meaning you should be able to make a quick getaway with Moneypenny.
