The most iconic car in cinema history.

The car that defined cool
In 1964, a silver Aston Martin DB5 appeared on cinema screens worldwide and changed everything. In Goldfinger, the third James Bond film, the DB5 became more than a car. It became a cultural icon — the definitive expression of British elegance, power and ingenuity. Furthermore, the DB5 was already one of the greatest grand tourers of its era, powered by a 4.0-litre twin-cam straight-six and clothed in aluminium bodywork by Carrozzeria Touring under the Superleggera construction method. Moreover, its appearance in Goldfinger elevated it to a status that no amount of motorsport success could have achieved. Six decades later, the DB5 remains the most recognisable car ever committed to film. It is, simply, the Bond car.
1 of 25 example
To mark the enduring legacy of that moment, Aston Martin created the DB5 Goldfinger Edition — a strictly limited series of just 25 examples, each recreating the specification of the original film car with extraordinary authenticity. This is one of those 25. Furthermore, it is finished in Silver Birch, the same colour worn by the original Goldfinger DB5, giving it an immediate and unmistakable connection to cinema history.
A Cabin With secrets
Inside, the Goldfinger Edition recreates the atmosphere of the original film car with meticulous attention to detail. The interior combines the elegance of a 1960s grand tourer with the playful menace of a secret agent’s machine. Furthermore, the period-correct instrumentation and trim reflect the craftsmanship that made the DB5 the choice of the world’s most discerning fictional spy.
The Gadgets
No Goldfinger Edition would be complete without the details that made the original legendary. The red button on the gearlever, the telephone, the gear selector plate and the array of switches — each one is present and correct, recreating the spirit of Q Branch with absolute fidelity. Furthermore, these are not mere decorative touches. They are the reason this car exists. They are what separates a DB5 from the DB5.
The Straight-Six
Under the bonnet sits the DB5’s legendary 4.0-litre twin-cam straight-six. It delivers a driving experience that is smooth, sonorous and deeply characterful — entirely in keeping with the car’s grand touring origins. Moreover, the engine’s note is as much a part of the DB5’s identity as its Silver Birch paintwork or its Superleggera badge. This is a car that rewards every mile with a sense of occasion that no modern machine can replicate.
