The new Ford Mondeo will star in the latest James Bond movie
From just-auto.com :
Ford is making the most of its product-placement opportunities with James Bond movies by featuring the five-door version of the new European Mondeo in Eon Productions’ ‘Casino Royale’, which opens on 17 November.
Although Aston Martin – previously placed in Bond movies along with other Ford models such as the Thunderbird – remains Bond’s brand of choice, the new Mondeo is the first car to appear in the film as the star uses it – rented from Hertz, we wonder – to drive to a hotel after arriving in the Bahamas on the trail of a terrorist cell.
The film car is a specially-built five-door example with sports bodykit and finished in a production colour called Tonic blue. The car was built by hand at Ford Europe’s design studio in Cologne, Germany, in January 2006 and shipped secretly to the Bahamas, where the short driving sequence was filmed.
