Fisker also revealed another secret, the AMV8 Vantage will be the next James Bond car, adding “I hope this time they won’t cut it in half, that wasn’t very nice,” referring to the last James Bond car he designed, the Z8, which was cut in half by a huge saw in the movie The World is Not Enough.

Rumours saying that the Aston Martin DB9, which looks nearly the same as the V12 Bond drove in Die Another Day, proved to be untrue.
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage, however, is still in production and will feature on next year’s Detroit Motor Show. It will be out for sale in late summer 2005. James Bond will surely help to promote the car then.
