In FYEO when the fleeing James and Malina reached her car there was a longish beauty shot of the car.
This reveal got a laugh all over the world, a la SUCH a mundane, basic car for James Bond etc.
The 2CV was called the Deux Chaveau, meaning "2 horses" for the 2 cylinder engine.
"We're being outhorsepowered" said Bond during the ensuing chase.
I've spent time all over parts of Europe and to this day when engines come up people who are spotty in their English call cylinders "horses".
"Four or six horses?", they'll ask.

Unless it turns into a submarine. Remember the Lotus Esprit from "The Spy Who Loved Me"?

I had to check, because I know some Esprits have 5 bolt hubs. The ones in TSWLM and FYEO had indeed 4 bolt hubs:
