A VIEW TO A KILOWATT

Sean Connery poses as James Bond next to his Aston Martin DB5 in the film ‘Goldfinger’ in 1964. The world’s best-known spy has apparently gone green, with British media reporting this week that he is switching to an electric Aston Martin. The secret agent, played by Daniel Craig, will be taking the wheel of the £250,000 (R4.8m) Rapide E, Aston Martin’s first electric car, in the 25th Bond movie. Aston Martin declined to say whether 007 would be driving one of the 155 limited-edition cars. — Reuters
