Those sounds will be sounds of the past. Future Bond films will feature 007 driving the all-electric Rapide E, British newspaper The Sun reports. If you don't remember the Rapide E, that's probably because it has only really been around in concept form, and Aston plans on building only 155 examples of it. But, just as a refresher, it has 600 horsepower, is nearly silent, looks cool (it's a Rapide, after all) and will retail for around $332,000.

The Sun went on to lay much of the blame for the change at the feet of the director of the forthcoming film, Cary Joji Fukunaga, who you may know from such awesomeness as True Detective's first season, Sin Nombre and Beasts of No Nation. The paper goes so far as to quote a source calling him a "total tree-hugger."
