Aston Martin has released pictures of the car it is supplying for the upcoming James Bond film Casino Royale.
Daniel Craig as Bond will drive "DBS," a sported-up DB9, perhaps with special secret agent-spec features.
Hopefully, it has automatic transmission, too, as Craig earlier revealed he cannot operate manual transmission.
According to Channel 4 News, Aston design director Marek Reichman said: "This car encapsulates a link between our elegant DB9 road car and the powerful DBR9 race car. It signals an evolutionary development of Aston Martin's world-renowned style and elegance."
"While hinting at our future design direction, the DBS also has very clear links with our heritage - it is instantly recognisable as an Aston Martin."
Aston chairman and CEO Dr Ulrich Bez added: "The DBS is not of the understated elegance of a DB9, nor the youthful agility of the V8 Vantage. It is explosive power in a black tie and has its own unique character which will equal that of James Bond."
The original DBS was featured in the 1969 Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
