James Bond inspired Aston Martin boat concept

The iconic marriage of James Bond and Aston Martin is one that has proven inseparable over the years. And while 007 has certainly dabbled with as many cars as he has women, none come close to matching that level of harmony than an Aston Martin. What happens though when Bond ventures off land? One designer has sought to solve that riddle with the Aston Martin speed boat concept you see here.

Dubbed the Voyage, the 55-foot speedboat is the brainchild of naval architect and Aston Martin owner Luiz de Basto. The name follows the the traditional Aston Martin nomenclature exhibited in the Vantage, Vanquish, Virage, and Volante models. The similarities don’t end there though, with design elements echoing the British automaker’s famed GTs — including a grille shape that has been interpreted into the windshield among other familiar design aspects.

While it’s not certain that we will see Daniel Craig captaining one of these in a future Bond film, it certainly should be his vessel of choice should he take to the high seas.

Aston Martin will revive James Bond’s DB5 at a price only Goldfinger can afford

James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 is one of the all-time great movie cars, and it's about to make a comeback. Aston is working with Eon Productions, the company that produces the Bond films, to build 25 new DB5s identical to the car that appeared in 1964's Goldfinger. As with the recent DB4 GT project, Aston prefers the term "continuation cars," not replicas.

Each new DB5 will be an exact copy of the original movie cars (one of which just reportedly resurfaced after years in hiding), right down to gadgets like the trademark revolving license plate. Unlike a genuine 1960s DB5, however, the new cars won't be road legal. Aston can't certify newly built cars designed for '60s safety standards.

Tesla’s fix for faulty Cybertruck pedal is simpler than you might think
Tesla Cybertruck

Less than five months after handing over the first Cybertrucks to customers, Tesla has had to recall the electric pickup to fix an issue with the accelerator.

In a notice issued on Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that the recall impacts Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from November 13, 2023, to April 4, 2024. This suggests that all -- or almost all -- of the 3,878 Cybertrucks being recalled are those that have been manufactured to date.
