Producers of the next Bond film said that James Bond will once again drive an Aston Martin in the upcoming 20th 007 film. MGM, Eon Productions and Aston Martin said that the film is due for release in 2002.

Bond, once again to be played by Pierce Brosnan, will drive the new V12 Vanquish, which will be the fourth Aston Martin driven by the superspy character. The first was the legendary Aston Martin DB5, which Sean Connery's Bond drove in 1964's Goldfinger. In recent films, Bond has abandoned the British make for German-made BMWs. But now, it's back to the old British automotive roots.

And for the car buffs out there, here are just some brief details: the Aston weighs in about 4000 pounds, and it delivers 450 horsepower. Aston claims that 0 to 60 comes in about 4.5 seconds and 0 to 100 in less than 10 seconds.
