    Give him a Bentley - dark green as a little nod to FRWL. Weapons tray under the seat for his Beretta. No other gadgetry.

    I find Bentleys a bit chintzy these days; to be honest Aston does seem the best fit for him still to me.

    It's a nice car, but it does look a little 'too much' like a Ford Mustang to me.
    Something about the front end. A little to muscle car and not quite enough AM.

    I know what you mean, but I wouldn't be wholly surprised if the recent gen Mustangs took a little bit of inspiration from their (then) stablemates and the aforementioned Virage type cars.

    Aston's repertoire of muscular cars seemed go once the DB7 launched. I have nothing but praise for the direction Ian Callum took Aston in, but I do quite like the return to this look, even if it is very Mustang-y at the moment.

    The rear wing on the Valiant though does look a bit too Hot Wheels for me. I don't hate it, but think it would look better without.

    I do like the look of this. Maybe lose the spoiler? Has a TLD vibe about it.

    Yes it's supposed to evoke the V8 to some extent.

    If you prefer it without the spoiler then it's the Valour you're after:

    There's also a new Lotus concept car out:

    That's taking a car to a knife fight. Wouldn't want to be hit by that nose.

    Whoa. I think Batmobile material!

    Most of these new luxury cars look more suited for that than for Bond.

    There’s only one car Batman should be driving (watch the drag race against the Porsche GT3)
