For a former James Bond car, it's a chance to live twice.
Japanese engineers put a new spin on an old classic car for a recent auto show, remodeling a Toyota 2000GT with solar panels and high-tech gadgets to make it 100 percent electric and solar-powered.
Heralded as Japan's first sports car when it came out in 1967, the vehicle was used in the James Bond movie "You Only Live Twice," released that same year, as a getaway car for the intrepid Bond, played by Sean Connery.
But the new eco-friendly version comes with a catch -- it takes nearly two weeks for the vehicle to power up completely. (Reuters)
