Lotus

From Double-Oh-Wiki

  • Lotus Esprit S2 - Featured in The Spy Who Loved Me. Possessed all of the usual Q refinements, including surface to air missiles. The main feature of the car however was the ability to transform into a submarine. Once transformed it could unleash depth charges and smoke screens. The car was nicknamed Wet Nellie.
  • Lotus Esprit Turbo - Featured in For Your Eyes Only, this vehicle was cosmetically similar to the S2, but mechanically different, as it exhibited no submarine capabilities. It was most notable for its remarkable security system, which detonated and destroyed the car when Gonzales' henchman broke the driver's window in an attempt to break into the car. Q Branch provided a second Turbo to Bond - in burgundy instead of white - later in the movie.
  • Lotus Formula 3 - Featured in the unofficial Bond film, Casino Royale (1967), this souped-up car is driven, very briefly, by Evelyn Tremble (Peter Sellers), one of several agents given the code name James Bond 007.
