Aston Martin
DB5 stunt car (No Time to Die, built by Aston Martin)

Why it matters

Instead of risking original DB5s, Aston Martin engineered eight new stunt cars that look like the 1960s car but are modern competition-style machines underneath. They carried the DB5's gadgets in the chase sequence of No Time to Die, and one sold for $3.2 million in 2022.

How rare is it?

Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Aston Martin's special projects engineering team had about six months from Eon Productions' brief to deliver all eight cars to the set. Several real DB5s were scanned and the shape recreated in carbon fibre over a purpose-built spaceframe with integral roll cage, fitted with a naturally aspirated straight-six of more than 300 bhp, a manual gearbox, limited-slip differential and long-travel Öhlins dampers.

The cars were used in the film's chase sequence, with working effects such as the rotating number plate and headlamp machine guns. One car, still carrying its battle damage from the chase, was sold at Christie's 'Sixty Years of James Bond' charity auction in London in September 2022 for $3.2 million.
