James Bond Cars Collection – Die Another Day (2002)

Die Another Day is the 20th film in the James Bond series and the fourth and final to star Pierce Brosnan as the legendary MI6 agent. Released in 2002, the film features thrilling car chases, high-tech gadgets, and one of the most memorable collections of Bond vehicles.

Aston Martin Vanquish

One of the most iconic cars in Die Another Day, the V12 Aston Martin Vanquish appears in the Ice Lake chase scene, equipped with target-seeking bonnet guns and torpedoes, pursued by Zao's green Jaguar XKR. Its cinematic presence earned it the #3 spot in the list of Best Film Cars Ever, behind the Minis from The Italian Job and the DB5 from Goldfinger and Thunderball.

The Vanquish also inspired two concept cars showcased at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show: the Zagato Roadster (2-seat, open-top) and the Bertone Jet 2 (2-door shooting brake).

Jaguar XKR

The Jaguar XKR appears in the same Ice Palace chase, equipped with missiles and a mini-Gatling gun. The XKR adds a touch of classic British luxury to the high-octane chase, complementing Bond’s Vanquish perfectly.

Ford Thunderbird (2003)

Halle Berry’s character, NSA agent Jinx, drives the 2003 Ford Thunderbird outside Graves’ Ice Palace in Iceland. The 007 edition Thunderbird featured minor design changes by Sid Ramnarace, including a unique coral paint color that influenced Jinx's wardrobe. Ford also issued a limited edition to commemorate the movie.

Lamborghini Diablo

The Lamborghini Diablo is showcased in Colonel Moon's impressive car collection, parked inside the Antonov An-124 hangar bay. Its exotic design and sheer presence underscore the villain's wealth and influence.

Ford GT40

Another gem in Colonel Moon's collection, the Ford GT40 highlights classic American performance and racing heritage. Its inclusion reinforces the film’s blend of European and American supercars.
