First 5 Aston Martin DB5 Goldfinger Continuations Set For Delivery.
Do you know what is better than one Aston Martin DB5 Goldfinger? Five of them!
Here’s What Five Aston Martin DB5 Continuation Cars Look Like Together.
A total of 25 of the gadget-packed Bond cars DB5 Goldfinger are to be built at cost of $4.3 million apiece, and Aston Martin gathered the first five together for a photo shoot, before shipping them off to their new owners in Europe, the U.S., and the Middle East.
Paul Spires, Managing Director at Aston Martin Works, added of the Goldfinger DB5 continuation editions:
The connection between Aston Martin and James Bond originated more than half a century ago. Creating 25 Goldfinger DB5 continuations and working with EON Productions and special effects supervisor, Chris Corbould, is something truly unique and a real career highlight for everyone involved here at Aston Martin Works.
Each car is an exact replica of the most famous car in the world, the Aston Martin DB5 featured in the 1964 Sean Connery smash Goldfinger. The Q-devised armoury includes a bullet-proof rear shield, extendable battering rams, rotating number plates, and an oil and smoke spray system. The headlight machine guns don’t shoot and neither is an ejector seat fitted.
The DB5 takes 4500 hours to build and is powered by a 294-hp, four-liter, six-cylinder engine, and even though all 25 have been sold you won’t see one on the road as the Goldfinger DB5s are not road legal.
