    As production continues on the 21st official James Bond film, Casino Royale, The Sun reports today on what became of three of the brand new Aston Martin DBS’s, which are featured in the film.

    Three of the Aston Martin’s provided for the film, estimated to be worth over £500,000 together, were wrecked during filming when they were ‘flipped on their roofs during shots for a high-speed Alpine chase’ at the Millbrook Vehicle Proving Ground in Bedford. According to a source from the film, ‘These are easily the most amazing James Bond cars yet. They look incredible and cost a fortune. Unfortunately we had to smash three to pieces … And in the style of 007, our stunt driver walked away without a scratch.’
