Description[]
The Aston Martin DB5 is a grand touring sports car produced by Aston Martin from 1963 to 1965. Styled by Federico Formenti of Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, the DB5 was an evolution of the previous DB4 model; differences include an all-aluminum 4.0L inline-6, a new ZF 5-speed manual and three SU carburetors. Standard feature include reclining seats, electric windows, twin fuel tanks and 2+2 seating. Production ended in 1965 with 1,059 produced.
The DB5 is known in mass media for being the vehicle of choice of British spy James Bond, first appearing in Goldfinger. Bond's DB5 is equipped with various gadgets fitted to the vehicle by Q branch. These include revolving number plates with British (BMT216A), French (4711-EA-62), Swiss (LU6789) and Italian (A 4269 00) number plates, a GPS dashboard and radar, oil slick, smokescreen and landmine dispensers, hidden machine guns and water cannons, an extendable bulletproof screen, extendable tire slashers, extendable battering rams and ejection seats. Behind the scenes, the gadgets were conceived by special effects artist John Stears. 25 "continuation" models of the DB5, based on the Goldfinger car, were produced by Aston Martin in 2020 for £2.75 million each; these cars were created in collaboration with EON Productions. Aston Martin used the same manufacturers to manufacture parts for the cars wherever possible.
