007 James Bond film The Quantum Of Solace will feature the new 2008 Ford KA
The 2008 model Ford KA is to debut in the new 007 film.
The highly anticipated new James Bond 007 adventure ‘Quantum of Solace’ will feature a cameo appearance from Ford’s fresh faced new model, the all new Ford Ka.
Ford’s cheeky new small car will make its screen debut alongside the film’s beautiful but feisty leading lady Olga Kurylenko. Kurylenko plays Camille, a woman with her own personal mission and who quickly becomes an unlikely ally for Bond.
The ‘Quantum of Solace Ka’ is unique with metallic gold paint and an exclusive exterior graphics and interior trim combination.
“The new Quantum of Solace Ford Ka is the perfect match for the character of Camille, adventurous, individual and thoroughly modern” says Ford of Europe’s Chief Operating Officer Stephen Odell. “We are delighted that the launch of the film coincides with the launch of such a significant new model for Ford of Europe”.
If all of this James Bond talk is starting to whet your appetite, we have the official 007 Quantum of Solace trailer for you below in HD quality.
The special Quantum of Solace Ka was created by Ford of Europe’s Design team, in collaboration with the movie’s Oscar award winning production designer Dennis Gassner. The Ka’s cameo continues Ford of Europe’s relationship with the James Bond films, following the debut appearance of the latest Ford Mondeo in the 2006 blockbuster Casino Royale.
Twelve years after the original Ford Ka wowed customers with its modern spirit and what has proved to be a remarkably ageless design, its successor looks set to repeat its impact.
The new model retains all the qualities which made the Ka so popular, compact size, great looks, lively dynamics and fun personality, but presents them in a fresh new package. Further technical details of the new Ford Ka will be revealed closer to launch later in 2008.
Quantum of Solace sees the return of the Aston Martin DBS.
For those of you who prefer something with a little bit more BHP, you will be pleased to hear that the 6.0 litre V12 powered Aston Martin DBS will be returning in the new 007 film.
Channel five motoring programme ‘Fifth Gear’ recently put 007’s newest car to the test on the race track. The DBS was first introduced to James Bond fans in the Casino Royale film and will be returning shortly for Quantum of Solace.
In the following video clip is the James Bond double, stunt driver Adam Kirley, who is famous for setting a Guinness World Record with the canon roll from Daniel Craig’s debut 007 film.
Speaking to Fifth Gear presenter Tiff Needell, Kirley briefly mentioned what was in store for the next Bond adventure. “We’ve just been doing some stuff yesterday for the new film” he said. “There’s a lot more involvement with the DBS and hopefully you’ll see a lot more of it than you did in Casino Royale”.
He added “Fortunately I don’t think we are going to be going for any more records. No more rolling of it, but we do have a lot planned for the car, so it’s going to be a busy sequence”.
Quantum of Solace out in cinemas soon.
Directed by Marc Forster, Quantum of Solace stars Daniel Craig as the legendary secret agent James Bond and opens in the UK on October 31st, then across the rest of Europe during November 2008.
Quantum of Solace is produced for EON Productions by Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli and is distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment.
