Aston Martin DB5 – Goldfinger Continuation

0๏ธโƒฃ0๏ธโƒฃ7๏ธโƒฃ

An Aston Martin DB5 has just rolled off the production line, more than 50 years since the last DB5.

โ€œThe DB5 is, without question, the most famous car in the world by virtue of its 50-plus year association with James Bond. To see, the first customer car finished, and realise that this is the first new DB5 we have built in more than half a century, really is quite a moment.โ€

Marek Reichman, Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin Lagonda

What do you think of this new DB5? Priced at a cool ยฃ2.75 million, this is one for Bond fans with seriously deep pockets.
