James Bond will drive a £25,000 electric car in the next film in a bid to make the character more environmentally friendly.
Director Cary Joji Fukunaga, 41, wants star Daniel Craig, 51, to take the wheel of a limited edition Aston Martin.
The Rapide E is the British company's first electric car and only 155 of the unique vehicles exist in the world

The decision to use the zero-emission vehicle will signal a move from a traditional petrol-fuelled Aston Martin which was first driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger more than 50 years ago.
Mr Joji Fukunaga is working closely with the iconic company to ensure the car will grace the big screen, The Sun reports.
An insider told the newspaper: 'The decision was spearheaded by the film's new director, who's a total tree-hugger.
'He is working directly with Aston Martin to get one of their electric cars ready for its big close-up.
'Everybody is afraid of Bond getting labelled 'too PC' but they all felt the time was right to put him in a zero emission vehicle.'
