Aston Martin to bring Goldfinger DB5 to life with additional spy gadgets

KUALA LUMPUR:  The Aston Martin DB5 is one of the most famous and loved movie cars to date. If you are a bond lover, here is a good news for you. Aston Martin recently shook hands with Lego to develop a scale model of the DB5 which will include all the James bond accessories. The British car maker has also announced that they will be producing 25 new DB5 models identical to the one used in the movie “Goldfinger.”

Goldfinger DB5

Andy Palmer CEO and President of Aston Martin said," The connection between Aston Martin and James Bond is something of which we are very proud and it is remarkable that the DB5 remains the definitive James Bond car after so many years. To own an Aston Martin has long been an aspiration for James Bond fans, but to own a Silver Birch DB5, complete with gadgets and built to the highest standards in the very same factory as the original James Bond cars? Well, that is surely the ultimate collectors’ fantasy”.

After the success of Aston Martin’s plan of continuing the DB4 GT, the company has now eyes on the James Bond’s iconic DB5 from his movie Goldfinger released in 1964. The special edition DB5 will be produced at the Newport Pagnell Plant, where the original DB5 was built in collaboration with EON Productions. Aston Martin has also shaken hands with Chris Corbould, the man responsible for special effects in all the James Bond movies, to help them in incorporating the special effects for the DB5.

Following the success of the DB4 GT continuation project, Aston Martin has turned their sights on James Bond's legendary DB5 from the 1964 hit film Goldfinger. The continuation cars will be built by Aston Martin Works at the Newport Pagnell plant, where the original DB5s were built, together with EON Productions, the company which produces Bond films. Aston Martin has also teamed up with Oscar-winner Chris Corbould, the man behind special effects in James Bond films, to help develop and incorporate the gadgets into the DB5.

To maintain the original looks of the cars, all the 25 DB5s will be coated with Silver Birch and will be integrated with a wide range of gadgets including the revolving number plate. However, slight modifications will be made to keep up with the build quality of the cars. Production will begin next year. Each DB5 is expected to be priced at £2.75 million plus taxes with deliveries starting from 2020.
