Will the next James Bond car be a Mahindra?

You can’t think of James Bond, without thinking gadgets, cars, women. And you can’t think James Bond cars without thinking ‘Aston Martin’.

This Aston Martin site, plays self-serving yet rightful homage to the ‘iconic relationship’ between James Bond and the various Aston Martin models that made him, well, more Bond.

And now it seems that Investment Dar, a Kuwaiti company, which is one of the investors in the iconic auto company might have approached Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd as a potential buyer as it looks to sell its stake.

The Business Standard also reports that Mahindra & Mahindra might not fall over itself trying to acquire Aston Martin, at its reported valuation of $800 million.

Unlike Tata, Mahindra has stayed well away from the super luxury segment, despite the huge margins and the success of Jaguar for Tata. This perhaps might tempt them to enter the market?
