G-MANN ◊ 2008-10-22 19:34	After his flirtation with BMWs, Brosnan's Bond goes back to an Aston Martin. Q (John Cleese taking over from the late Desmond Llewelyn) shows Bond his new car in his secret laboratory in a disused subway station. Q: Your new transportation. (an empty platform wheels up) Bond: Maybe you've been down here too long. Q: The ultimate in British engineering. Bond: You must be joking. Q: As I learned from my predecessor, Bond, I never joke about my work. Aston Martin call it the Vanquish, we call it the Vanish. Bond: Oh, very good. Q: Adaptive camouflage, tiny cameras on all sides project the image they see onto a light-emitting polymer skin on the opposite side. You see, to the casual eye it's as good as invisible. Plus all the usual refinements, ejector seat, torpedoes, target-seeking shotguns to shoot down mobile objects. Why don't you acquaint yourself with the manual, you should be able to shoot through that in a couple of hours. Bond: Just took a few seconds, Q. Q: Wish I could make you vanish! The rest of the gadgets: Remote control: Instrument panel: Thermal imaging: Missiles underneath the grille: Ejector seat, when the car flips over during the duel with Zao's Jaguar XKR, Bond uses this to flip the car back upright. Machine guns: Bulletproof body armour: Tyre spikes: -- Last edit: 2012-03-04 00:21:59
G-MANN ◊ 2012-03-04 00:44	ben68 wrote Date manufactured 11 April 2003 modell wrote [Movie was released in 2002. This registration was probably switched to a "show car" rather than one actually used in the film. Remember they used (and wrecked) quite a few Vanquishes during filming, so it's not like there was just one. This is the case with other James Bond cars, with the original DB5 in Goldfinger, there were two used in filming and one that was a show car for exhibitions and publicity. With this in mind I'm changing the year back to 2002 (filming took place between January and July of that year according to IMDB) -- Last edit: 2012-03-04 00:56:46

modell ◊ 2012-12-02 23:00	^ Like the license plate, he probably reacted with an "EWW." But adaptive camoflauge (invisibility) is not completely science fiction. On Top Gear UK Richard Hammond drove a van fitted with large video screens around it. It was clearly not as practical or seamless as the Aston but still pretty cool.
truckface ◊ 2013-01-06 18:56	The way it`s portrayed in the movie is ridiculous. The car casts no shadow when the camoflauge is activated. Not to mention that there even is a scene where Bond hides along side the car when in camoflauge mode. HELLO?!!!

Obviously a coincidence, but there was a very similar scene four years before Die Another Day was released: /vehicle_281280-Ford-Mustang-Cobra-SN95-1996.html#Comment1878775 -- Last edit: 2015-12-16 11:23:51
dominicmgm ◊ 2018-12-26 20:05	Heres where invisibily might not be practical for this car. Imagine if snow falls on top. It's look like the snow was levitiating from the ground, and a mook might say "Hmm, that snow is floating in a way that resembles an expensive sports car. I might check it out." Not to mention a V12 engine isn't stealthy.
