Aston Martin's most famous car (1963-1965). Featured in Goldfinger James Bond film. 4.0L inline-six. Cultural icon.
The Aston Martin DB5 is a grand tourer produced from 1963 to 1965. The DB5 became one of the most famous cars in cinema history through Sean Connery James Bond films, particularly Goldfinger (1964). The combination of cinematic exposure and the genuine quality of the DB4/DB5 design has made the DB5 one of the most recognizable cars in popular culture. The DB5 used a 4.0L DOHC inline-six engine making 282 horsepower (later 314 horsepower in Vantage variant). Five-speed manual transmission (a major upgrade over the 4-speed in DB4). Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera bodywork. Modern DB5 prices have appreciated dramatically. Used pricing varies by condition and provenance. James Bond film cars have sold for over $5 million; production DB5s typically sell for $1-2 million+. On WhipJury, DB5 submissions are extremely rare but reliably top voting on cultural significance.
