What is the name of the car driven by James Bond in 'Goldfinger'?

The car driven by James Bond in “Goldfinger” is the Aston Martin DB5.

The DB5 became Bond’s signature automobile when it appeared in the 1964 film “Goldfinger,” where Q Branch equips it with fictional spy gadgets. The film’s cars included a prototype used for filming and additional vehicles used for driving sequences and publicity. Its most memorable features included revolving license plates, hidden machine guns, a bullet shield, and an ejector-seat gag.

The real Aston Martin DB5 was produced from 1963 to 1965 and evolved from the DB4. It used a 4.0-liter inline-six engine, three SU carburetors, and—on most examples—a five-speed ZF manual transmission. The film car’s Silver Birch finish and gadget-filled presentation turned the DB5 into one of cinema’s most famous automobiles.

A frequent mix-up comes from other Bond cars. The novel “Goldfinger” mentioned a DB Mark III rather than a DB5, and later films featured cars such as the Aston Martin DBS, V8 Vantage, and BMW Z8. Nevertheless, the iconic car associated with the 1964 movie is the Aston Martin DB5.
