Aston Martin DB5(1963)
Films: Goldfinger, Thunderbolt, golden eye and casino royale.
Special equipment: machine guns, changeable license plates, ejection seats, chariot wheels, lubricating oil launchers and smoke screens, etc.

　　The DB5 is definitely a model worthy of a special book in Aston Martin’s history. It was with its stunning appearance in the Golden Finger of 007 in 1964 that Aston Martin became famous and really attracted the attention of the world.

　　In fact, when Ian Fleming wrote Goldfinger, the book chose the DB4 model that was still being produced at that time. A few years later, when the best-selling novel was adapted into a movie, this silver-gray DB5 specially made for the movie made its coolest new car appearance so far. Subsequently, in thunderball in 1965, DB5 became 007′ s car again. Since then, Aston Martin has formed an indissoluble bond with 007.

　　The super-power DB5 prototype tailored for Bond in the film was officially launched in 1963. It follows DB4′ s Superleggera frame structure in shape design, with elegant lines and a sense of strength, and simple and elegant interior design.

　

　　In terms of power equipment, DB5 is equipped with 4.0L inline 6-cylinder aluminum alloy, with a maximum of 284 horsepower and a maximum of 390N.m With a 5-speed gearbox from ZF, the maximum speed can reach 233 km/h. It was with the enthusiastic response of 007, elegance, luxury and strong power that DB5 sold 1,200 vehicles within two years, even though the price was as high as 4,000 pounds at that time, and this sales figure was much higher than that of previous generations, making it one of the most popular luxury at that time.

　

　　However, when Bond, played by Sean Connery, saw his new car for the first time in Goldfinger, it was not love at first sight, but when Dr. Q, the chief scientist of MI6, directly announced: "According to M’s order, 007, you will drive this specially modified Aston Martin." At that time, a special DB5 and an unusual 007 chase journey have begun to be staged in a thrilling way.

　　Dr. Q provided this DB5 with all the devices that a secret agent dreamed of: two 7.6 mm machine guns hidden behind the headlights, a bulletproof baffle placed in the trunk of the car, and an ejection seat for unfriendly passengers. The number plate in front of the car can also be replaced, and even the navigation system was conceived and added in advance by the creator of Bond in 1964.

　　What deserves special thanks to Aston Martin DB5 is bond girl Mania’s wonderful performance while driving in Goldfinger. Bond’s means to get rid of the tracker are legendary. In the film, an oil blanket with spraying function is hung on the front of the DB5 car, which leads to the Mercedes skidding accident of Orikkin’s minions. In the fourth film "thunderball", DB5 has been modified again, and it can spray water swords from the rear of the car, which hinders two hooligans who are following.

　　In addition, a telephone installed inside the car door, several retractable bumpers, a nail spreader, or a hidden weapon compartment under the seat, are all specially made for the agent car DB5. The DB5 model that was once used in Goldfinger was finally taken away by American businessmen for 2.6 million pounds (about 28 million yuan) in 2010.

　　Besides being famous on the screen, DB5 was once one of the elements of popular culture. In 1966, Britain personally visited Aston Martin, and the Queen visited the Bond car on display in the factory workshop. The Queen also received an electric car model from the DB5 design room, and this DB5 car model was equipped with all the extra equipment, including an automatic card changer and a cigarette lighter, which eventually became a gift for Prince Andrew.

　　It is reported that DB5 will return to the big screen in the 23rd installment of the 007 series "Sky Falling" which will be released in October this year, and what new performances the classic legend in this 007 car will have is expected.
