From super cool gadgets to laser devices, high-tech equipment has always been an essential part of the James Bond franchise. Whether the user is the hero 007 or the villain, these gadgets have been a source of fascination for fans for decades. Here are 6 gadgets that have made a significant impact on the series, and you can still purchase them today (if you have the budget and don’t mind the legality):
1. Jetpack
This device made its debut in the 1965 film “Thunderball.” While it was a fictional gadget 50 years ago, today you can actually buy one, thanks to JetPack Aviation. This device has been tested to fly at a speed of 100 km/h and up to an altitude of 3 km, but it can only run for about 10 minutes before running out of fuel. Additionally, this device is currently being studied and utilized by various companies worldwide.
2. Submarine Car
In the 1977 film “The Spy Who Loved Me,” James Bond drove a Lotus Esprit that could transform into a submarine. This concept inspired CEO Frank M. Rinderknecht of Rinspeed to develop the “sQuba” car, which has the ability to dive underwater. The first version of this car was unveiled in 2008, and while it has not gone into mass production yet, it is expected to be priced significantly lower than a Rolls-Royce.
3. Little Nellie
