James Bond je nazaj v Bentley

[Road&Track]

James Bond, izmišljena srkanje Martinija britanski tajni agent, je pridobivanje nazaj za volanom Bentley. V novi knjigi James Bond, Carte Blanche, najbolje prodajanih avtor Jeffrey Deaver je 007 reševanje Sveta – in nedvomno izdelava čas zakaj nekaj dalliances – v new Bentley Continental GT Coupe.

O naslovu knjige Deaver pravi v svet vohunjenja, kar je zastopnik carte blanche na misijo prihaja z ogromno zaupanja in nenehno testov osebne in strokovne sodbe. Del nonstop suspenza v romanu je grozila vprašanje, kaj je sprejemljivo na področju nacionalne in mednarodne varnosti. Obstajajo vrstice, ki celo James Bond ne bi smeli križ?

Nekateri navijači obveznic bi lahko trdili, da je ja, Nonšalantan tajni agent z licenco za ubijanje, bi nikoli, Kdaj opustiti svoj preljub Aston Martin. Že desetletja, so bili dve britanske ikone medsebojno povezane zahvaljujoč uspešni film franšize, začetek leta 1962 z Dr No. Čeprav ni bilo do leta 1964 in sproščanjem tretji film, Goldfinger, da Bond najprej zdrsnila za volanom Aston Martin.

Z nekaj izjemami, Aston ostala Bond avto po izbiri. Spiralno spin v AMC Hornet je bil eden od manj, recimo, eksotične avtomobilski trenutkov za obveznice – čeprav vsaj je bilo kul stunt v 1974s Mož z zlato pištolo. . Vendar prehod na nenaraven BMW Z3 roadster v Zlatu nikoli povsem sedel prav z nikomer, razen morda BMWs marketinški oddelek.

Puristi bodo opozorili, da dajanje obveznic v Bentley ne bi smela priti kot šok za vsakogar. V prvotni James Bond romanov je napisal Ian Fleming, 007s osebni avto je bil nihče drug kot 1930 Bentley 4 ½ litra.

James Bond, the fictional martini-sipping British secret agent, is getting back behind the wheel of a Bentley. In the new James Bond book, Carte Blanche, best-selling author Jeffrey Deaver has 007 saving the world – and undoubtedly making time for a few dalliances – in a new Bentley Continental GT Coupe.

Regarding the title of the book, Deaver says In the world of espionage, giving an agent carte blanche on a mission comes with an enormous amount of trust and constantly tests both personal and professional judgment. Part of the nonstop suspense in the novel is the looming question of what is acceptable in matters of national and international security. Are there lines that even James Bond should not cross?

Some Bond fans might argue that, yes, the debonair secret agent with a license to kill should never, ever abandon his beloved Aston Martin. For decades, the two British icons have been interlinked thanks to the successful film franchise, beginning in 1962 with Dr. No. Though it wasnt until 1964, and release of the third film, Goldfinger, that Bond first slid behind the wheel of an Aston Martin.

With few exceptions, Aston has remained the Bond car of choice. A corkscrew spin in an AMC Hornet was one of the less, shall we say, exotic automotive moments for Bond – though at least it was a cool stunt in 1974s The Man with the Golden Gun. . But the switch to a dainty BMW Z3 roadster in GoldenEye never quite sat right with anyone, except possibly BMWs marketing department.

Purists will point out that putting Bond in a Bentley shouldnt come as a shock to anyone. In the original James Bond novels written by Ian Fleming, 007s personal car was none other than a 1930 Bentley 4 ½ Litre.
