After releasing James Bond’s DB5 as a Lego model car, Aston Martin is taking it one step further and partnering with EON Productions to create 25 Goldfinger DB5 continuation cars. These will not just be standard production cars though, as the automaker has invited Oscar-winning special effects supervisor Chris Corbould to develop functional gadgets for the car, such as revolving number plates.

After appearing in Goldfinger in 1964, the DB5 was also seen in six James Bond movies, namely Thunderball (1965), GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), Casino Royale (2006), Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015).

With James Bond films veterans EON Productions and Chris Corbould in the project, Aston Martin aims to offer an authentic reproduction of the DB5 as seen on screen even though some modifications could not be avoided for making it reliable. It will be built by Aston Martin Works at Newport Pagnell where DB5s were assembled in the old days. For the exterior, it will be in Silver Birch paint as on the original. The continuation car will be priced at £2.75m before tax and delivery will start in 2020.
