Why it matters
Casino Royale introduced the Aston Martin DBS to the public, and the DBS stunt car performed the 007 franchise's record-setting crash sequence, the film's signature car stunt.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

History
For the crash near the end of the Vesper abduction chase, the stunt car was in fact a DB9 dressed as the DBS. It would not roll on the test ramp at Millbrook, even when the ramp was raised, so an air cannon was fitted behind the driver's seat to force it over. The car rolled seven and a half times, a world record for the stunt.
One account says three Aston Martins were wrecked during the day of filming; that claim is not firmly sourced.
