In No Time to Die, which Aston Martin model is used by James Bond during the Matera chase?

The story behind the answer

James Bond uses an Aston Martin DB5 during the Matera chase in No Time to Die.

The 2021 film brings the classic DB5 back as an action vehicle during the opening section in Matera, Italy. Bond and Madeleine Swann are attacked by pursuing enemies, and Bond uses the DB5’s concealed weapons to defend the car in a circular piazza. The sequence presents the historic model as both a nostalgic reference and a fully equipped modern action machine.

The film’s DB5 is not the same continuity moment as the original Goldfinger car, but it deliberately recalls that vehicle’s signature gadgets. Its machine guns and rotating number plates connect the new film to earlier Bond mythology while the choreography uses contemporary visual effects and stunt work.

No Time to Die also features other Aston Martin models, including the DBS Superleggera and a V8 Vantage. Those appearances can cause confusion, but the DB5 is the car used in the Matera set piece.
