James Bond Cars by Assouline

The James Bond Cars book by Assouline is a large format coffee table book celebrating the vehicles of the 007 series.

From the iconic Aston Martin DB5 to Goldfinger's golden Rolls-Royce, the cars of Bond have taken us on exhilarating chases, into the air and underwater over the past six decades. This meticulously researched book takes you on the drive of your life, with insights from the filmmaking team.

Available now at Assouline for $120.

From Aston Martins fitted with ejector seats and water cannons to a Lotus Esprit reborn as a submarine, to a Venetian gondola improbably reimagined as a hovercraft, the vehicles of the James Bond cinematic franchise are as iconic as the spy himself.

In James Bond Cars, explore the iconic vehicles that have played a pivotal role in Bond's adventures. Each chapter offers insider insights and unforgettable scenes, like the history with Aston Martin, Daniel Craig's high-speed car chase in Rome, helicopters, speedboats, blimps, snowmobiles, jet-packs and You Only Live Twice' Little Nellie autogyro.

Chris Corbould

Curated and introduced by Academy Award–winning special-effects supervisor Chris Corbould, OBE, who has worked on fifteen Bond films, James Bond Cars is both a full-throttle visual catalog and an insider’s account of how filmmakers engineered some of cinema’s most unforgettable stunts. The book features more than three hundred images, from rare behind-the-scenes stills to design drawings to production ephemera, and Corbould’s commentary lifts the curtain on the secrets of those masterful sequences (think engineering hacks, one-take-stunts, near-disasters) and the rides that powered them..
