In the James Bond film Goldfinger, what is the name of Auric Goldfinger’s prized car?

Auric Goldfinger’s prized car in Goldfinger is a Rolls-Royce Phantom III.

The 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III appears as Goldfinger’s imposing personal vehicle and reflects the villain’s wealth and taste. In the film, Bond learns that the car’s body contains gold, illustrating Goldfinger’s obsession with collecting and smuggling the precious metal.

Goldfinger is especially associated with the Aston Martin DB5, but that is Bond’s car, not Goldfinger’s. The DB5 introduced features such as machine guns, an ejector seat, and a revolving number plate to a worldwide audience, while the Rolls-Royce serves as a visual extension of the villain’s identity.

Sean Connery starred as Bond in Goldfinger, released in 1964 and directed by Guy Hamilton. The film adapted Ian Fleming’s 1959 novel, although the movie changes and compresses several elements of the book. Goldfinger’s car is sometimes incorrectly remembered as a Bentley or as Bond’s Aston Martin.
