In the 2012 James Bond film Skyfall, which Aston Martin model does Bond drive in the Scottish Highlands?

The story behind the answer

In the 2012 James Bond film Skyfall, Bond drives an Aston Martin DB5 in the Scottish Highlands.

The DB5 appears when Bond takes M to Skyfall, his family’s remote ancestral home. Its arrival deliberately connects the modern Daniel Craig films with the classic Bond era. The car is fitted with machine guns in the film, recalling the famous gadget-equipped DB5 first associated with Goldfinger, although Skyfall uses the vehicle mainly as a symbol of Bond’s history and identity.

The DB5 is one of the most influential film cars ever made. Aston Martin introduced the production model in 1963, and its Bond association began with Goldfinger in 1964. Skyfall does not introduce the DB5 as a new model; instead, it gives the classic car a major role in a later story. This distinction separates the question from identifying Bond’s Aston Martin in Goldfinger.
