Gadgets

	Tyre spikes — Each of the four tyres are equipped with retractable tire spikes for providing additional traction in off-road or sub-zero conditions.
	Remote control mechanism —
	Circular saw —
	Tracking equipment — The dashboard tracking screen was concealed behind the central air vents and rotated down on the press of a button. The equipment tracked the location of a paired homing-transmitter; displaying its location as a flashing blip on the display.
	Deflector shield — IQ installed a transparent deflector shield that presumably slid up from the center of the bonnet. It was designed to deflect incoming laser-fire; but could only withstand a limited number of direct-hits.
	Telescopic camera — A telescopic video camera was concealed behind a panel on the rear of the car. It was designed to peer over tall obstructions like a periscope - displaying footage on a screen hidden behind the rear-view mirror.
	Laser cutter — Above the front bumper is a hidden compartment containing a high-powered laser capable. It was operated using a joystick concealed on the dashboard.
	Magnetic vacuum — Behind the car's radiator grille is a retractable, forward-facing vacuum machine for sucking up loose metallic objects in the vehicle's path. Associated media instead places the vacuum below the front bumper in front of the tyres.
	Windscreen spray jets — When required, the car's twin windscreen washer jets can spray a special paint-removing fluid on the windscreen.

Trivia

• In 1992, Hasbro produced a toy car for its action figure line. Measuring 28.4 x 15.6 x 7.9cm, the vehicle's features were modelled on those of the Aston Martin DB5; with pop-out front-firing guns and saw-blade battering ram, spring-action passenger ejector seat, pull-out hub cap shredder blades, flip-up bullet-proof rear spoiler, and dual exhaust pipe spring-fired missiles. The Ertl Company also released a die-cast miniature sports car as part of its set of vehicles.
