Gianluca Sposito, “Bond Cars: The Definitive Garage of 007”

Hundreds of Full-Color Images and QR Codes

Bond Cars: The Definitive Garage of 007 is a sweeping analytical and celebratory journey into the inseparable partnership between James Bond and his vehicles. The world’s most famous secret agent does not drive mere means of transportation, but silent partners—lethal extensions of his persona that define each mission, each era, and his status.

Spanning nearly a century of automotive history and iconography, the book moves from Bond’s aristocratic literary origins—beginning with Ian Fleming’s pre-war Bentley—to the high-tech supercars of Q Branch and the most unexpected vehicles of the modern era.

Each chapter explores technical specifications, historical and cultural context, and behind-the-scenes production stories behind some of the saga’s most daring stunts—such as the legendary corkscrew jump of the AMC Hornet—and its most ingenious mechanical transformations. The book offers a unique perspective on how bodywork, engineering, and performance are integral to the mythology of 007.

Enhanced by hundreds of full-color images, detailed technical data sheets, and QR codes linking to film clips, behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, and bonus materials, Bond Cars: The Definitive Garage of 007 delivers a fully immersive experience at the intersection of cinema, engineering, and pop culture.

An essential volume for film lovers, automotive enthusiasts, and scholars of action cinema who wish to explore the deep, symbiotic relationship between the world’s most iconic secret agent and his four-wheeled technology.
