Have you ever wondered how many vehicles 007 has ruined across all 24 official James Bond
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.

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 US$3,067,928.
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 a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II, an AEC Regent bus, and eight Aston Martins, with the marque recently announcing it will build 25 replicas of Bond’s DB5, made famous in Goldfinger.
