The 4.7M Aston Martin DB5

The star of the most talked about motoring event, the Aston Matin DB5 that stared with Sean Connery in James Bond Gold Finger and James Bond Thunderball making it the most famous car in the world. An incredibly rare car were only two were ever produced, the orignal DB5 with all the bond gadgets was stolen in 1997 and believed to have been destroyed. Transfered through many rich car collecters names, the DB5 was recently sold for a whopping $4.7 million.


This DB5 drives exactly as Aston Martin intended, under the bonnet is a 4.0L 282 HP engine that thrusts it to 60MPh in less than 8.0secs with a top speed of 145MPH. However its not just the performancce that makes this DB5 exciting but the gadgets that are controlled from underneath the armrest, designed by John Steers. Extraordinarily most of these gadgets still work, with four number plates and an automatic turnstyle changing ones identity has never been easier. Imagine all the speeding fines you could miss.If a local gang is chasing you down with machine guns.... not to worry, with the flip of a switch a metal wall becomes erect from the back protecting you through every maneuver. However the next time another driver in front is travelling too slow for your liking simply warn with a couple of shots from the hidden machine guns within the front parker lights, theres always that last special feature and when the going gets tough a fighter jet like ejector seat is at your disposal, blasting the roof off and sending you high in the sky.


The Aston Martin has always been a favourite for James Bond movies with the DB9 also seen in later Bond films.

  1. The Aston Martin DB5 is among the most famous Aston Martin car due to its work with by Mission impossible in Goldfinger (1964). Even though Ian Fleming had located Bond within a DB Draw III inside the novel, the DB5 was your company's hottest model if the film had been made. The corporation was initially hesitant, but had been finally certain to a item placement offer. The car found in the film was the first DB5 original, with one other standard car used for tricks. Two even more modified autos were created for publicity excursions after the film's release.
