The AMC Hornet is a compact car built by American manufacturer American Motors. It follows the Rambler American, and is succeeded by the AMC Concorde.

History

Due to product placement, James Bond finds a dealership full of new AMCs in Bangkok, Thailand, where normally no AMC cars were sold. He steals the red AMC Hornet X (with J.W. Pepper inside) from the showroom and chases Francisco Scaramanga, who is driving an AMC Matador Coupé.

After a car chase through dense Bangkok traffic, both cars leave the city and chase each other on different sides of a river. In order to get onto the other side, Bond uses a destroyed bridge as a ramp, in order to perform a spiral roll over the river, onto the other side.

Bond later abandons the AMC at Scaramanga's Hangar.
