Next-gen Ford Ka stars in new Bond film |
While most Bond fans will be salivating over the Aston Martin DBS in the new Bond film, the oddly named Quantum of Solace, fans of the Blue Oval can look out for the appearance of the next-generation Ka subcompact. We suspect the diminutive hatch won’t be 007’s primary mode of transport. Instead we envisage it being used in a similar fashion to the Ford Mondeo’s appearance in Casino Royale, a hire car Bond used to travel from an airport.
You can catch a glimpse of the 2009 Ka right now in the video posted below. The car is involved in some kind of chase and appears at the 2m 24s mark in the clip. You can also read more details and see a rendering of the production model in our previous story by clicking here.
Ford will ramp production of the new Ka at a plant in Poland by the middle of the year, ahead of its likely launch at October’s Paris Motor Show.
