In an interview about the film Daniel Craig said it was one of the prototypes and worth more than all the Aston Martins in the film and he was ordered to be extra careful with it. As they only had one any damage would have had to be repaired or avoided in the shot. That is probably why you only see it carefully driving along. As a car it is probably more realistically what you would expect a spy to drive in the real world! |

"Pre-Production" should be written as additional extra info. |

As someone who now owns a Titanium X Sport 2.5 Turbo, it's sad they didn't give it the ST badge. Handles well enough, isn't far off the mark in speed etc. Same look pretty much as this pre-production model. I'd say the "James Bond Experience" blurb is wrong, because it may have been a one-off at the time, but that body-kit looks like it made it into production. The Titanium X Sport 2.5T (XR5 Turbo in Australia) sports the same lines essentially, spoiler etc included. -- Last edit: 2018-02-01 14:47:06 |

I remember audiences (I saw the film in Calgary, Alberta, Canada) audiences laughed when they realized Bond was driving this car. I actually found the car handsome enough, it wasn't the "Bond" car but we didn't know the Aston would be appearing later. I actually drove a Ford Focus Centennial Edition at the time. We don't have the Mondeo in the Canadian market. The tail lights on this do slightly resemble the later Ford Fusion (Canadian market version) that we would get years later. -- Last edit: 2022-11-26 20:36:03 |

Always found it ironic that they called it "Mondeo" and then decided to mainly sell it in Europe. |

a little bit like the MLB's finals which is called "World Series" but MLB has only one team outside of USA ( ok, two when the Montréal Expos were here.. ) .. |
