An Aston Martin DBS plummeted into Italy's Lake Garda while it was being delivered to set of the forthcoming James Bond film, Quantum of Solace.

The driver, a professional stunt driver for the film, lost control of the car during heavy rain around the twisty roads in the area.

Despite the appearance of the car, the driver was rescued and sent to hospital with only minor injuries.

Sources say that this DBS was the only car available for the film. Click here to watch the video of the car being removed from the lake.
