The majority of James Bond fans are curious as to who will portray the venerable British agent in the upcoming film now that Daniel Craig is leaving his super spy role. But gearheads also want to know what car the new Bond will drive. The love affair between the celebrated British spy and Aston Martin is long documented. In the end, who could forget the DBS and the Aston Martin Valhalla that were widely featured in the movies?
After Aston Martin introduced the DBS 770 Ultimate, most of us thought that this would be the ideal Bond car. But now that we know there's also a convertible version, we're convinced that the Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate Volante tops them all in terms of sexiness. Let’s not forget that some of the most iconic Bond cars were convertibles, like the BMW Z8 from The World is Not Enough and the Toyota 2000 GT from You Only Live Twice.

9 The Leather Luggage Set Is A Nice Touch
In the past decade, luxury and premium automakers have surprised buyers with bespoke mementos and accessories.
“Rolls-Royce spent months of intensive research on the design of its hand-tailored luggage collection. For a mere $45,854, customers can fill the trunk of their new $320,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith. That’ll buy them six-piece collection that includes two large Grand Tourer valises, three Long Weekender bags, and one garment carrier,” said CNN back in 2016.
Porsche, McLaren, and BMW have also designed their own luggage sets. BMW, for example, partnered with Louis Vuitton to design a bespoke luggage collection for the BMW i8. The 2024 Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate Volante comes with its own leather luggage set.
