![]() ![]() DB5 is even more famous than DB4 because it was featured in James Bond movie "Goldfinger" in 1964. In the film, it was equipped with machine guns at the front bumper, bullet-proof rear screen and a passenger ejector seat - Sean Connery used it to get rid of the bad guy sitting next to him ! the car started a tradition that every Bond movie must feature a fancy car. In return, the film made the DB5 a hit, with more than 1000 cars sold in just two years. ![]() A few years ago I saw a silver DB5 on the road of Hong Kong. The elegant style and quality of its aluminum body was hugely impressive, and it had a real road presence. Many Ferraris of the same period could look old and dated today, but the Aston grand tourer remained timeless, thanks to its classic shape and superb attention to details. Sadly, DB5 lived for only 2 years. From DB6, Aston started looking for a new shape, which failed to match the beauty of DB4 and DB5. |
