The Aston Martin DB5 is an iconic combination of classic Italian design and British motor engineering. Released in 1963, its instantly recognisable shooting brake was custom produced by the factory in honor of David Brown, the head of Aston Martin from 1947 to 1972, who was also a keen hunter. Merely 65 out of the 898 Aston Martin DB5 cars ever produced, were fitted with the Vantage engine featuring 3 Weber carburetors that offered a finer performance. The model was produced as an evolution of Aston Martin DB4 series and faced a number of significant technological enhancements, such as an all-aluminum 6 cylinder engine, new robust ZF five-speed transmission, 3 SU carburettors producing 282 bhp and propelling the car to 145 mph. The Aston Martin DB5 has proved to be the dream car for every devoted James Bond fan. Its timeless sophistication and force epitomises Bond’s character, and makes numerous appearances in the films, first in Goldfinger in 1964 and finally in the Skyfall edition that sees its prior-to-the-premier Royal Reception tonight, at London's Royal Albert Hall. 50 years since "Dr. No" hit theaters, James Bond has driven Jaguars, Alfa Romeos, Audis, Bentleys and more.But ever since Sean Connery drove a The Aston Martin DB5 in "Goldfinger," Aston Martin has been the true Bond car.Since then, various Bonds have had various Aston Martins, but none really compare to the original.
