Ford Ka in new Bond film Quantum of Solace

PANAMA CITY, Panama — Online video has surfaced showing the various locales where Quantum of Solace, the latest James Bond film, is being shot. In the montage, we can catch a glimpse of what appears to be the very un-Bond-like Ford Ka doing duty as a chase car.

The Ford brand has had a healthy relationship with James Bond these past few years. He has been supplied with Aston Martins for three consecutive movies (a Vanquish in Die Another Day, a DBS in Casino Royale and a DB5 in bothCasino Royale and the film now in production). That's in addition to a few lower-profile supporting vehicles, such as Halle Berry's Thunderbird and Bond's Mondeo airport rental.

The Ka is most assuredly not going to be as featured as much as the DBS, although you can see at 2m 24s in the video that it does appear to have some significant screen time. (Why else would they have made it up with those cool decals on the side?) And it doesn't appear to be a simple transport shot like the Thunderbird or Mondeo had in previous films, since someone (Bond?) is shown bailing out the side right before the car takes off. Excitement!

See for yourself.

Quantum of Solace is set to be released November 7, starring Daniel Craig and Gemma Arterton.
