James Bond to drive electric Aston Martin in new movie

Reports have emerged that Daniel Craig will get behind the wheel of a zero-emissions motor in his latest adventure - only 250,000 to dedicated fans

Long-haul flights, tons of guns and a bagpipe flamethrower: such are the special demands of his career that James Bond has never been considered a poster boy for an eco-friendly lifestyle. But next year's 25th Bond film looks set to have Ian Fleming's hero make his first concession to climate change, by driving an electric Aston Martin - albeit one which retails at 250,000.

According to reports, the film - whose working title of Shatterhand was recently debunked - will see Daniel Craig's 007 behind the wheel of an Aston Martin Rapide E, one of only 155 electric cars being built by the British manufacturer.
