The Aston Martin DB5 is a British luxury grand tourer （GT） that was made by Aston Martin and designed by the Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera.
Released in 1963, it was an evolution of the final series of DB4.
Although not the first in the DB series, the DB5 is the best-known cinematic James Bond car, first appearing in the James Bond film Goldfinger （1964）.

The principal differences between the DB4 Series V and the DB5 are the all-aluminium engine, enlarged from 3.
7 L to 4.
0 L; a new robust ZF five-speed transmission （except for some of the very first DB5s）; and three SU carburettors.
This engine, producing 282 bhp （210 kW）, which propelled the car to 145 mph （233 km/h）, available on the Vantage （high powered） version of the DB4 since March 1962, became the standard Aston Martin power unit with the launch in September 1963 of the DB5.
Standard equipment on the DB5 included reclining seats, wool pile carpets, electric windows, twin fuel tanks, chrome wire wheels, oil cooler,
magnesium-alloy body built to superleggera patent technique, full leather trim in the cabin and even a fire extinguisher.
All models have two doors and are of a 2+2 configuration.
The boot lids differed slightly between the DB4 mark 5 and the DB5.
Like the DB4, the DB5 used a live rear axle.
At the beginning, the original four-speed manual （with optional overdrive） was standard fitment, but it was soon dropped in favour of the ZF five-speed.
A three-speed Borg-Warner DG automatic transmission was available as well.
The automatic option was then changed to the Borg-Warner Model 8 shortly before the DB6 replaced the DB5.
