ĭue to the low centre of gravity of the vehicle, an 18-inch (450 mm) ramp had to be implemented on the road tarmac at Millbrook Proving Grounds and Adam Kirley, the stunt driver who performed the stunt, had to use an air cannon located behind the driver's seat to propel the car into a roll at the precise moment of impact. Also a white prototype DB9 manual was supplied to the film crew so that the stunt drivers had something to practice with. As well as the two ‘hero’ cars, Aston Martin had to prepare three former development DB9’s for use as DBS look-a-like stunt cars. The car was later destroyed during Bond's pursuit of Le Chiffre.Īston Martin delivered two working ‘hero’ cars to the film. In the film, the car only features a spare gun and a defibrillator. The Aston Martin DBS V12 was first seen in Casino Royale.
