Cast

In the movie Casino Royale set in Montenegro (but filmed in the Czech Republic), James Bond is issued a left-hand drive 2006 Aston Martin DBS which has registration plate TT 378-20.

At the time of filming Casino Royale, in the first half of 2006, Aston Martin was still completing development of their new DBS, so the cars they supplied to the production company were from their prototype workshop. These two prototype DBSs were used for close-ups and regular driving scenes. Later, Aston Martin prepared three former development DB9s as DBS-look-a-likes for the movie's stunt scenes.
