James Bond is known for driving exotic, expensive and stylish cars. From Dr. No through to Skyfall, cars have been an iconic part of the James Bond movies. Here is a selection of some of Bond's best cars, with no decade left untouched.

#10 Sunbeam Alpine Series II (Dr. No, 1962)

James Bond's first car was the modest, British made Sunbeam Alpine, in a light lake blue.

#9 Lotus Espirit Turbo (For Your Eyes Only, 1981)

Lotus isn't the first car manufacturer most people would associate with James Bond, as only three of their models have appeared in the series. But, whenever Bond has gotten behind one of their wheels, the Lotus has been the highlight of the film's selection of vehicles.

#8 Aston Martin DBS (On Her Majesty's Secret Service, 1969)

Introduced in 1967, the Aston Martin DBS series only lasted five years. However, the same design lived on with the Vantage, the V8, and the V8 Vantage until 1989. At 22 years, the iconic design was used for longer than the DB1-DB6 series designs.

#7 Citroen 2CV (For Your Eyes Only, 1981)

We just had to include the bright yellow Citroen 2CV, pictured left flying over the enemy car that was trying to chase them. It was a beat up, unreliable old banger, but the producers still managed to churn out a fast paced, light humoured chase sequence through a Spanish olive plantation.

#6 Toyota 2000 GT (You Only Live Twice, 1967)

The Toyota 2000 GT has been called the first Japanese supercar, and has been praised as being extremely enjoyable to drive. It was therefore wholly suitable for 1967's You Only Live Twice, which was set in Japan, and driven by daring Bond girl Aki.

#5 Aston Martin V8 Vantage (The Living Daylights, 1987)

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage that Timothy Dalton drove in The Living Daylights was an absolute beauty. It was the last of the generation of Astons that were based on the original DBS design, and it had been perfected.

#4 Aston Martin DBS V12 (Casino Royale, 2006)

Casino Royale was a reboot of the Bond series, going back to its roots. The story was one of the major refactors, but the film also came with a fresh James Bond, acclaimed director Martin Campbell (who had previously directed Goldeneye), and a general removal of the more ridiculous elements of some of the prior films.

#3 Ford Mustang Mach 1 (Diamonds Are Forever, 1971)

The Ford Mustang is an iconic car outside of the Bond series. But it was actually James Bond that first introduced the car to film. Tilly Masterson drove one in Goldfinger in 1964, in the swiss alps. The car is probably most widely known from its appearance in Bullitt, the 1968 film staring Steve McQueen, featuring an almost 10 minute car chase around San Francisco's hilly streets.

#2 Lotus Espirit (The Spy Who Loved Me, 1977)

Now this is what Bond cars are all about, and it's about the best you can do without being an Aston Martin. Chased by a motorbike, cars, a helicopter, and underwater enemies as it turned into a submarine!

#1 Aston Martin DB5 (Goldfinger, 1964)

Well, what could we say. Cars have long been beautiful additions to films, but the Aston Martin DB5 was more than a sideline. Introduced by Q in one of his most memorable scenes, the gadgets were revealed up front, so that the viewers knew exactly what was coming--but they didn't know when. The DB5 is truly iconic, it's the first car that comes to anyone's mind when thinking of James Bond.
