The DB5 is so timeless.
Really nice to see the V8 back in No Time To Die though.
literally can be driven any time anywhere
v8 is sick
Probably one of the most beautiful cars ever built. =)
Dude the db5 is probably my all time favorite
the v8 doesn't get enough love
M: The DB5 isn't that comfortable
Marek: That offended me
LMAO he was honestly hurt 😂
I took that personally
Repent to Jesus Christ!!!
“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.”

Marek? Marek Reichman? How ironic! One of important engineers in Aston Martin's history, was Tadeusz Marek who found himself in the UK in the first place because that was the only way he could do his best to keep fighting IIIrd Reich.
best
The best quote of the movie Skyfall is when they Change cars, because the Jaguar of M can be tracked....and M look at the DB5 and say "this one is much more inconspicuous".

I never realized just how closely Aston Martin worked with the Bond franchise. That’s cool
It's the official James Bond car
@@MohamedAbdallahCherifin the movies yes but in the novels bond drove the Aston Martin only once that was in the novel goldfinger for the most part he loved driving BENTLEYS not Aston Martins
@mohammedashian8094
I know but since movies 🎬 have a larger audience than novels Aston Martin has always been associated with JB in the collective imagination of mainstream JB fan base and even beyond.
@@MohamedAbdallahCherif that’s true but it should be known that Bentley was always bond’s preferred choice of cars that’s all
@@MohamedAbdallahCherifIt is also the official car of the royal family. Really established it as the quintessential British sports car.
DB5 is probably one of the most beautiful cars ever built.
It's not bad.. but 'the most beautiful' .. xD
Beautiful no,but probably the most elegant and classy.
probably ?
@@vieri031One of the most doesn't mean the most.
Aston Martin: James Bond
Dodge: Fast and Furious
BMW: Mission Impossible
Audi: Marvel Cinematic Universe
@Saswat Dev is Mercedes dceu? I have only noticed it in justice league and not the others.
Also lamborgini for MCU with Dr Strange. Idk if they will keep using Lamborgini for richer characters.
Then there is Tony Stark with a few cars, like a Corbra, The F1, Audi R8 just to name a few. I forgot how many cars he had in his garage.
Black panther uses lexus I forgor
@@mrdriver2988 tony also had a saleen s7
@@notprosperBEATS just checked he has 2 bikes that idk and a Tesla Roaster as well.
Nowadays mcu uses bmw as well,
Missed the DB5 that Bond won playing poker in Casino Royale.
Ya I noticed that
British author Ian Fleming wanted James Bond to drive a 4.5 litre Bentley in battleship grey... before going on to an Aston Martin DB3 in 1959 "Goldfinger" book !
hated that fact ... Win the car maybe... But left hand drive ?!?!
Aston Martin: We have a varied selection of colors.
Also Aston Martin: gray
That's Silver Birch to you
I can't help but wonder what Aston would come up with if they were tasked with making a villain car, as opposed to a hero car.
Something big and armored. It would look AWESOME though :)
The Victor & Vulcan look pretty villainous
@@Crazymanwithhat and It makes sense too. No matter how powerful the villain car is bond always comes on the top. Probably even inherit it as his own.

The frames were bonded, James bonded
You might think that the chassis of the earlier AMs were welded, therefore weaker.
But they were weld done.
The machine at Aston Martin at Newport that bonds the frames is literally called the James Bonder.
I think this is the only company besides BMW (for mission impossible) that supplied cars and made the db10 only for the franchise. Good job Aston
bmw did some of the brosan bond films, but aston’s definitely still the majority and more notable
Mercedes-Benz also made an actual drivable AMG Vision Gran Turismo for Justice League (originally only made in digital form with no interior for the video game Gran Turismo 6).
off the top of my head... Jaguar had the awesome CX75 (a concept car) in Spectre and the early 00s Ford Thunderbird was prominent in Die Another Day
Lotus Esprit is a famous one because it was the sub in The Spy Who Loved Me
and yeah 3 of the Brosnan movies in the 90s he used BMWs: the Z3, 750 and Z8
there are others but they weren't that memorable to me
@@chunliisthebest the 750 was an epic Bind car tho.
audi for the MCU though
This man speak very well, makes you very interested in the entire history of the Aston. Stunningly beautiful cars.
The Quantum of Solace opening car chase with the Alfa Romeos is such a great scene. Not my favorite Bond movie, but easily my favorite Bond car chase.
Really? I think it's awful because of the ridiculous quick-cut editing they did. Somewhere on the cutting room floor is a very good chase.
Agreed, love the fast cuts
@@GAmbrose thats why people hate the movie
Funny because there's a video explaining why it's an example of what NOT to do in an action sequence.
Great? The editor took so many Red Bulls, you can't even see what's going on in there.
I think the only properly good chases in the history of cinema is Bullit and Vanishing Point (1971). Everything else is a gimmick.
The DB5 will always remain the coolest Bond car. What a legend.
I'm kinda disappointed Bond didnt get to use the Valhalla in No Time to Die, I was so hyped when I saw it in that wind tunnel
Yeah, I was really excited to see him drive the car later in the movie but it never came. And it made me a little sad lol
Why would he get it? To stuck while leaving the parking
During a low speed chase in a city, Lancer Evolution with 4wd and 3 limited slip diffs is the kind of car you'd prefer to have. Or something light and nimble, like Toyota GT86. Not 2 tonnes of rear wheel drive Aston.
@@SparrowNoblePoland ah yes here we have a JDM fanboy, James Bond doesnt drive some Mitsubishis and Toyotas. He prefers stylish and elegant cars and if you havent figured out yet Aston Martin is the signature car brand for this movie franchise. Besides, comparing the Aston Martin Valhalla to some GT86 or Lancer is ignorant and idiotic.
@@filson1358 You are ignorant and idiotic. JB is a gimmick, no agent would use AM exactly for the reason not to draw attention. And certainly not a custom one, as this would have been a proof that in some cases could even give casus belli if captured.
And I'm not JDM fan. I just know facts. It is estimated that with even 4WD, maximum usable power up to 160kph is 500BHP. This literally means, in narrow town corners almost anything would be better than a fat Aston. Lancer Evolution X is considered a very heavy car for rallying, and it's still 300kg lighter than Astons. Meaning, on city streets it could easily win even if it was 2WD just like Aston. But it is 4WD, meaning a total demolition of the British fatman.
@@SparrowNoblePoland its not real life its an action movie so all those statistics dont matter, if you wanted to see a realistic movie about cars its the wrong franchise, fans want to see Bond drive fast and elegant Aston Martin cars + 007 himself is known for using fancy gadgets and he liked the DB10 in Spectre so I think it would be the interesting to let him drive the Valhalla
I had a neighbor with the 2006 Casino Royal DBS, same spec, that car was unbelievably beautiful. I would stop in my tracks just to fully look at it pass by and listen to it closely. Love that rolling piece of art.
finally someone that actually wants to get interviewed haha.
If the 1969 DBS had bullet proof glass, Bond wouldn't be a widower.
My 9 year old lad is into his cars and has been since the age of 2. He was all about Bugattis and Lambos and Ferraris - until I pointed out an Aston Martin parked in a nearby driveway here in the UK. Just the name alone is classy but then so is the badge and its history in Bond films; so I showed him the car in Goldfinger and others. He now wants a DB5 with machine guns and an ejector seat for his annoying younger sister.
"Please do try to return that car in pristine order".- Q
"I believe I said 'bring it back in one piece,' not 'bring back one piece'"
So technically that man is Q
He made the bond cars, he worked on the gadgets
He didn't get them back in one piece
The quality of wired and dw content are terrific. Great service.
I know he’s the designer... but the only the V8 Vantages were “midship” since the V12 reached the axel. In all fairness, the long hoods do achieve the front-mid-engine look.
I met Marek during a tour of Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell. Man's a genius.
Most fascinating about that place is the seat restorations done in a tiny little room up the back. Can you imagine the delicious smells of multiple vintage leather trims?
Modern Aston Martins are some of the only modern cars I really like, and the DB5 will forever be one of the most beautiful cars of all time.
Same and Mini Cooper too
What about Dodge, Bugatti, Ferrari, or Tesla? You have so many companies creating powerful and unique shapes, but you can only say one company is doing anything worth liking?
It's an old car, dude. Move on. it's no longer beautiful compare newer Astons
I was just saying that I really like modern Aston martins. I prefer their take on modern sports cars over the other ones. I don't dislike the other ones, they still look really cool and I would be really lucky to drive any of them!
That’s cool how you designed the defibrillator in the DBS too. I did notice the car seemed to have more power
See you all in a few years when the next bond comes out and this is recommended
the cars looked beautiful as ever in No Time I almost cried
Odd that he never saw fit to mention Giuseppe Seregni who designed the DB4 , 5 and 6 when he worked at Touring the very cars that created Aston Martins future design language . Also Ian Callum who re - descovered and re-established said language (DB7 and Vanquish)followed by Henrik Fisker (DB9) .
Ok, that V8 is absolutely gorgeous!
The db5 is so classy. I loves the vanquish when it came out tho. It was actually my dream car for a time. In baby blue.
it is so sick that they brought the DB5 after like 15 years with Daniel
Yeah it was beautiful to see and hear it in the film, when m walked towards that Valkyrie. I wanted him to get in it so bad
@@firefightszz what do you mean valkyrie
@@foodreacts837 the white car at the top left of the thumbnail
@@firefightszz thats the Valhalla not the Valkyrie
@@kylec33 it’s easy to mistake it tho given the fact it’s the concept model, the headlights and front end are different now, the one in the movie does have a more striking resemblance to the valkyrie - just shows how long this movie was delayed to hit theatres lol
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. 😊 Thank you Marek Reichman.
Brilliantly arranged and informative video !!
Great video, answered a lot of questions I had always wondered.
Very informative video. It makes me appreciate the James Bond films and the Aston Martin brand even more, even though I haven't actually watched a single Bond film yet.
I saw Goldfinger, when I was 8 with My grandpa; and since that age, DB5 has been my favorite car ever
Aston Martin DBS(2006) is by far the best looking Aston Martin. Followed closely by Vanquish(2013).
For me the one-77 is the most beautiful Aston. Every angle. It’s a perfected vanquish
DB5 the OG is unbeatable in my opinion. DBS and Vanquish following in number 2 and 3.
Too bad Vanquish would rip his own V belts.
Perhaps it's an age thing but I'd like to have Timothy Dalton's "winterised" V8. Although I'd have a green one.
I’m with you… something about the look of the tail end just says “class” and “power”.
Aston Martin will forever be my dream car in life. To be able to drive a DB5, Vantage or a DB10 will be on my bucket list without a doubt!!!
Being in a DB5 and going around a bit, it is like he said quite comfortable, maybe a tad bumpy but still very good.
The DB5 and the Vanquish are my personal favourites. The former is a sleek classic car, and the latter is a sleek modern car. Both come laden with gadgets, and both are probably very fun to drive at high speeds.
Great Presentation and Narration.
Loved it!
Aston Martin and James Bond what a combination!🇺🇸
What an enjoyable video. Thank you for this
My favorite is the V12 Vanquish.
These are timeless
The DB5 they shot up in Skyfall was a scale model. Maybe should have mentioned that. That wreck is what Q is referring to when he says “this one takes quite while to patch up”
Specter's DB10 is the best looking car I've ever seen
The real star of Spectre was that Aston Martin DB10 & Jaguar C-X75 car chase through the streets of Rome.
I love the two DBS's (2006/2008), those are #2 only to the unequaled DB5. Of course the crystal key wasn't available until the 2009 for production cars.
I’m in love with the DB11 and Vulcan also vanquish
i was enamored by the V8 Volante coupe when i saw it in The Living Daylights.
now, after watching all the Aston Martins featured in Bond films, i can say that V8 Volante is definitely still my favorite. it's got a perfect combo of modern and classic style. glad it came back for Craig's swan song.
(the DBS with its modern sleek design but more muscle-y tone than the Vanquish comes second.)
Yes, there's something pleasant in the V8. The rough edges, 80s style is just ❤
with the V8 inherited to Madeleine and Mathilde, it's just getting even better.
What year and version of coupe is that V8? Is it an Oscar India, POW or X-Pack?
OHMSS was always my favourite Bond film, and the Aston Martin DBS my favourite Bond car. I liked it so much that I bought one and ran it as my everyday car for 12 years. A "gentleman's carriage" as one commentator put it.
You know, the DB5 is one badass bond ride.
Another fantastic video
Fantastic thank you for this as I’m a massive Bond fan and the DB5👌👌
:: I wonder how he feels every time they crash the Aston Martins in the movies. I remember almost crying when the DB5 was wrecked in Italian Job and even in Skyfall, even if it was a 3Dmodel :) ::
Excellent video. Thanks
I really wanna get a DB5 with like, modern tech in it. Like automatic windows, blind spot detection, and just all around newer stuff. Old fashioned look with modern era tech.
same, how much are they
If you have the money sure there are replica resto mod sellers, but please if you are rich dont restomod a real old timer
Why would you need blind spot detection? Your neck is injured, or you're just too intellectually challenged to move your head forwards and back when looking into side mirrors?
@@SparrowNoblePoland Yeah. Don't understand why people require blind spot monitoring.
Much like reversing cameras on normal cars. You shouldn't actually require them. They're an assist, but you shouldn't need them.
Can understand stuff like ABS though. Higher priority, but you still shouldn't need to rely on it.
@@callummclachlan4771 ABS a bit more tricky. Either you have trained for braking with or without it. I think in most real life situations it's better to have it, but personally as I was trained not to have one, I just prefer to have a more oldschool car and drive slower. Then couple of years ago, when snowy winters still happened, it was useful not to have ABS is some specific circumstances, but these required specific training and cold blood, and its not worth mentioning. Same, no drivers these days would use a technique of braking through digging into loose ground today. Most people just panic and can't think tactically under pressure, and there's not many roads with gravel roadsides anymore, so then this technique also is not as relevant as it was.
Amazingly well spoken guy!!
This was fantastic
every Bond fan checker/fact checker loves to point out how the Aston Martin was a car that was so safe it had to be blasted off to flip over for the movie
db5 is unreal
its so sick, great fact
was there a guy in the car
@@foodreacts837 Yes the stunt was performed by Adam Kirley - he had practiced with two BMW 5 series, but they where much easier to roll than the DBS.
The Ben Collins talks about this in “Stunt Driver” I believe
What a great video. Thank you
Having that minigun go off right at headlevel will definitely Deafen the Driver.
The car has got ballistic protection so the materials used are a lot thicker and will dampen the noise, that being said it’s a bond film man don’t poke holes in it just sit back and enjoy !
@@tomdudley2876 no, not the bond car, the Green car had a minigun mounted in the back seat during the ice chase above the drivers head.
@@polaritypictures my mistake I read that as “headlight level” 😅
I could listen to this guy speak all day…
5:20 that’s a big statement my friend
I love Aston Martin cars, looks amazing !!!!!!!!!
The V8 Vanquish and the Porsche SUV were my favorite Bond cars :)
I have to admit, my personal dream car would be the old V8 body (the "Brute in a Suit") on a DBS Superleggera or a modern V8 Vantage chassis and running gear! Depending on how brave I felt!!
The victor
i thoroughly enjoyed this.
The vanquish my favourite
Absolutely a fantastic review of Bond Astons .. thank you everyone ? 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Thank you Daniel Craig .. saw the latest film today .. awesome !
Completely forgot that conversation between Bond and M in Skyfall. So good…

V8 Volante looks like a Mustang fastback that went to Art school in London, beautiful car
This is excellent!
1987 V8 Vantage
It probably wasn't intended as such, but to me, the Goldeneye chase is a nod to the Aston DBS and Ferrari Dino chase in the pilot episode of The Persuaders in the same location. Roger Moore in an Aston which is a reason why he never drove one as 007. But then, we were given the Lotus Esprit, so no great shame. The next Bond in an Evija would be a game-changer.
Ian Fleming did put Bond in an Aston in at least one of his novels (a DB2/4, I believe) so that's where the association actually started.
I love the astons in the James Bond films but I also love the bmws used the films too and the rare ToyOTA 2000 gT that doesn’t get mentioned

The casino royal DBS is absolutely stunning
Loved the Lotus submarine that was a great bond car!!
I bet I’m not the only one who spotted that all Aston Martin car bodies after a certain model year are ‘bonded’. James Bond’ed. 😀
My Favourite ones are the DB5, the Volante and the DB11.
the vanquish is a sick car
This was awesome
Excellent thanks 😎
My Favorite Aston Martin is the " Mk III " such beautiful Curves!
Agree. I am lucky to have an 80's V8 but would swap for a Mk III coupe.
The V8 Volante is the one for me. What a mean and classy looking car.
yea
Aston Martin has been using that specific grille shape since day 0. When Ford bought Aston they took that shape and used it for their own cars thus devalueing the design. If you look at every modern Ford, they have that very specific shape. The 2015 Ford Mondeo/Fusion is the most notorious one with the AM grille. Now AM are changing the design language they had since the 50s.
Nice one Marek 😀
Aston Martin is still my dream car
"Aston Martin DB5 a thing of Beauty"
With all the cars and Mr.Craig
That's the definitive Bond to me.
Ian Fleming always had James Bond drive a Bentley. The upper management of Bentley were not interested in being part of James Bond movie in 1964. David Brown the owner of Aston Martin was interested being involved with the James Bond movie when the producers of James Bond reached out to Aston Martin in 1964.
2:06 I noticed the orange side indicators on the DB5 are in some scenes & not in others 🤔🤔
Quite exciting to hear quality things in this video 😍👌
"Bonding Frames"
*Nice*
Just amazing.
Fantastic!
the headlamp guns are the best gadget ever
11:25 this reminded me of captain america choosing the vibranium shield
The DB9 V12 Vanquish is my favourite!
