British carmaker Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. is re-creating the legendary DB5, as driven by James Bond in Goldfinger. A collectible for true 007 fans, the 25 limited-edition vehicles will each be priced at £2.75 million ($3.5 million), plus taxes, and will feature enough working gadgets to make Q proud, says the company.
The espionage modifications will be co-developed by Academy Award-winner Chris Corbould, special effects supervisor on eight previous Bond films. So far, rotating number plates have been announced, with more to come. It’s safe to predict that a working ejector seat is not on the blueprints.
