The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
An original b&w photo still from ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ (1977).
Illustrating the internal components of the iconic Lotus Esprit “submarine car.” Presented as a cutaway style diagram, the image labels weapon systems, control mechanisms, propulsion units, and defensive features, transforming the sleek sports car into a fully realised underwater combat vehicle. Clean line work and precise annotations reflect the production’s attention to detail and the era’s fascination with speculative technology.
This still represents one of the most imaginative and celebrated Bond gadgets of the series. The Lotus Esprit sequence marked a high point of 1970s Bond spectacle, blending engineering fantasy with cinematic bravura and firmly situating the franchise in the age of high-tech excess. Rare production materials like this offer insight into how Bond’s world was constructed as design-led fantasy. The image stands as a striking behind the scenes artifact from one of the most memorable gadget moments in Bond history.
