James Bond has caused £4,472,607 worth of vehicle damage


Have you ever wondered how many vehicles 007 has ruined across all 24 official Bond films, and the true cost of carnage? The results will leave you shaken AND stirred.

Carnage Calculator, created by car leasing specialist AMT, collates data from every film in the franchise, revealing how much damage the superspy has really caused. Users view a visualisation of each Bond vehicle as well as a description of the scene and car damage. A unique carnage calculator totals up the financial impact of Bond’s devastating driving.
 

To work out the cost of every vehicle, the new price of each at the time of the film has been adjusted for inflation. The damage has then been calculated by classifying it into the A,B,S and N insurance categories, and priced at 100%, 80%, 40% or 20% of the car’s value respectively.

The famous spy damages at least one car he drives in an astonishing 18 films, with 23 different vehicles feeling the brunt of 007’s reckless driving.
 

Of all the Bonds, Sean Connery is the most careful 007 on the road, keeping his cars intact in From Russia with Love, Thunderball and You Only Live Twice.
 

Bond damages a shocking eight Aston Martins in all 18 films, with Daniel Craig writing off three models alone. A total of 11 different vehicles are completely written off by Bond, including the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II and the infamous AEC Regent bus.
 

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Daniel Craig’s Aston Martin DB10 is the most expensive vehicle destroyed in the film franchise. Only ten models were created exclusively for use in Spectre, each carrying a hefty price tag of £2,400,000.
