Aston Martin builds a continuation series of its iconic 1964 DB5 Coupe from the film Goldfinger.

Motor Torque

Perhaps the model that best personifies the long history of Aston Martin is the 1964 DB5, the two-door coupe made famous in the James Bond movie Goldfinger. As such, Aston Martin has embarked on building 25 Continuation series DB5 Goldfinger vehicles – more than 50 years since they built the original. Each special James Bond inspired DB5 Goldfinger model will cost just over Aus. $5 million Australian dollars yet none will be street legal for road use. The first of the 25 has just rolled off the line at the company’s heritage Division in Buckinghamshire – Aston Martin saying it took 4,500 hours of meticulous construction and features an array of working gadgets developed by Q in the Bond movies. One of the original three DB5’s made for the Bond films fetched US$6.4 last year at Pebble Beach, the auctioneer at R.M. Sotheby’s stating “no other car in history has played a more important role on film and in pop culture.”
