There are "British Racing Green" and "007 White" paint jobs, but unfortunately other aspects like amphibious features from the film are not included.

Within such a class, its main advantages are enjoyable handling and excellent ability to deal with adverse surface conditions. It was fine tuned with help of the CarTest 4.5 simulation program.
