After wowing us by driving the oozing-with-sex-appeal Aston Martin DBS in the movie Casino Royale, everyone’s favorite British spy will go back to driving a Bentley. Not for the movies though, but for the new novel Devil May Care.
Written by Sebastian Faulks, the book commemorates the centenary of the birth of Bond creator Ian Fleming. With this, Faulks brings 007 back to the car that he originally drove - the Bentley.
The new novel is set in 1967 at the height of the Cold war. The plot’s kept secret but word has it that the Bentley will be ‘battleship grey’ which is the same color of the Bentley driven by Bond in the Casino Royale novel. Further speculation says that it might be a T-series probably the T1 (pictured, manufactured by Bentley from 1965 to 1977.
If rumor is true, then 007 will be plowing the roads with some good old V8 powerhouse in a Bentley. James May owns a T2 though. So would that make this Bond car “Seriously Uncool” on the Cool Wall?
