Worse, it’s the only one available for use in the film. The 120,000-pounds iconic car crashed into the lake when a stunt driver, who was delivering it to the film scene of 007’s latest movie, Quantum of Solace, lost control while negotiating one of Garda’s narrow curves in heavy rains.

“Around 6.30 am (on April 19) under a heavy shower, the car came off the road and ended up in the lake.
The driver was slightly hurt and is expected to be released from hospital shortly,” the British media quoted the Executive Producer of the movie, Anthony Waye, as saying.

Later, the smashed iconic car was winched out of the Italian lake, he said.

The newest movie in the long-running 007 franchise is to be released in November this year. Filming for the movie starring Daniel Craig as the latest Bond, has already taken the crew to England, Panama, Chile and Mexico.
