A James Bomb in GTA London 1969.

The James Bomb is a sports car in Grand Theft Auto: London, 1969.

Description

The James Bomb is apparently a hardtop coupe-styled sports car available only in gray, suggestively based on the Aston Martin DB5. Obviously enough, its name is a play of on "James Bond", a prominent fictional spy from a series of espionage novels, which in turn spawned a decades old movie series first produced during the 1960s. The Aston Martin DB5 was made famous when it appeared as a Bond car in Goldfinger, and has since been synonymous with classic Bond films from the 1960s, if not the entire series.

The James Bomb's performance is considerably good, with a good top speed (equal to that of a Locust and lower than that of a Ferocious GTO), acceleration, braking, grip, and handling. The car also has a 20% shorter turning radius than most cars in the game. Its base import value is also considerably high, selling at £1,200 in mint condition.
