The frame is bonded with cold-cure adhesive which has exceptional damping properties that help soak up the vibrations which may otherwise appear if the structure was welded.

The unique architecture provides an excellent backbone, Bez says, while the use of sophisticated materials such as lightweight alloys, magnesium and advanced composites for the body further contributes to the car's low weight and class-leading rigidity.

The V8 Vantage uses a combination of aluminum, steel and advanced composite exterior panels. Composites are used for panels with a high degree of complexity and a deeper shape, such as the front wings, which incorporate the distinctive side strakes.

Nothing was said about ejector seats or changeable license plates or machine guns or oil dispensers or any of the stuff that made 007's Aston Martin so cool, so you'll have to settle for the V8 Vantage's looks and performance.
