By now, you’ve probably watched the latest reincarnation of James Bond kicking ass in the cinemas. Of course, the usual recipe of beautiful women trying to get a piece of him and signature moves can still pull off the necessary surprises. These things have always been staples of every Bond film and each one comes away with a blockbuster hit all the time. However, something is new when it comes to the film Quantum of Solace and these are two featured cars that are considered green: The Ford KA and the Ford Edge.
Danie Craig and Olga Kurylenko
The Ford Edge was used by Daniel Craig when he just walloped Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric). Green is an environmentalist who runs an international organization, which plots to destabilize governments in Asia and Europe. Meanwhile, the Ford Ka appears in a scene with Olga Kurylenko crossed paths with Daniel Craig in the movie.

The Ford Edge is a big car that runs on hydrogen fuel cells. With that being said, it emits zero emission, while meeting your power demands pretty easily. On the other hand, the Ford Ka looks like a Toyota Yaris in many respects, although it has a lot more mileage because it can gut out 38 miles out of only one gallon of gasoline. Meanwhile, the Ka is one of the leading compact cars in Europe. Unfortunately, it is not available in the USA for some strange reasons. However, there had been reports that Ford is planning to introduce it to the American market sometime next year.

The fact is, these environmentally-friendly cars are pioneering efforts in the Bond Film series. Sure, they won’t be able to hold a candle against the Aston Martin DBS, which can generate 510-horspower and cruise to 191 mph, but they’re sure bets when it comes to excellent fuel economy and efficiency.
It’s a good thing that this latest installment of Ian Fleming’s masterpiece sends another message across aside from beating the bad guys and that’s taking care of the environment, using eco-friendly cars.
