The highly-anticipated
new James Bond adventure, Quantum of Solace, will feature a cameo
appearance from Ford’s fresh-faced new model, the all-new Ford Ka.
Ford’s cheeky new small car will make its screen debut alongside the
film's beautiful but feisty leading lady, Olga Kurylenko. Kurylenko plays
Camille, a woman with her own personal mission and who quickly becomes an
unlikely ally for Bond. |
“The new Ka is the
perfect match for the character of Camille – adventurous, individual and
thoroughly modern,” says Ford of Europe’s Chief Operating Officer, Stephen
Odell. “We are delighted that the launch of the film coincides with the
launch of such a significant new model for Ford of Europe.”
The special Quantum of Solace Ka was created by Ford of Europe’s
Design team, in collaboration with the movie’s Oscar®
award-winning production designer, Dennis Gassner. The Ka’s cameo
continues Ford of Europe's relationship with the James Bond films,
following the debut appearance of the latest Ford Mondeo, in the 2006
blockbuster, Casino Royale.
Twelve years after the original Ford Ka wowed customers with its modern
spirit and what has proved to be a remarkably age-less design, its
successor looks set to repeat its impact.
The new model retains all the qualities which made the Ka so popular –
compact size, great looks, lively dynamics and fun personality – but
presents them in a fresh new package. Further technical details of the new
Ford Ka will be revealed closer to launch later in 2008.
Directed by Marc Forster, the film stars Daniel Craig as the legendary
secret agent, James Bond and opens in the UK and France on October 31st,
then elsewhere November 7th.
The all-new Ka enjoys the spotlight of its own at the 2008 Paris Motor
Show, on October 2nd. |
