The luxury sports car, which made its first public appearance in Casino Royale, will again be driven by James Bond in the next instalment of the film franchise.

The new movie, which is yet to be named, will be directed by Marc Forster and is due its cinema release in November next year.

Aston Martin chief executive Dr. Ulrich Bez said: “Aston Martin is proud of its long association with James Bond and we are all very excited at the prospect of seeing the DBS on the big screen again.”
