Inspired by the 25th James Bond film, No Time To Die, released in cinemas from Sept 30, the film sees the return of the iconic DB5.
This unique collaboration with The Little Car Company has created a gadget-laden collector’s item. The two-thirds scale version of the original comes with a fully electric powertrain but is not road-legal.
Pricing for the car has been set at £90,000 (RM515,000), plus local taxes. Existing Aston Martin DB5 Junior clients will be given first refusal on upgrading to a No Time To Die edition, and remaining build slots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Only 125 vehicles will be built.
The No Time To Die edition pays homage to the rich shared history of the brands, with Silver Birch paintwork, Smiths instruments, individually numbered chassis plates and completed with Aston Martin badging.
In true Bond style, this special edition boasts even greater power and range over the standard DB5 Vantage Junior, giving it a higher level of performance.
The original DB5 was 3D-scanned for reference, allowing an accurate reproduction. Whilst some elements of the car have been replicated, such as the Smiths instruments on the dashboard, some elements have been reimagined for the modern era.
The fuel gauge has been converted into a battery meter, while the oil temperature now monitors the motor temperature.
The No Time To Die Special Edition has been designed as a convertible, and not the fixed head coupe driven by 007. This is to offer seating for an adult and child side by side, allowing all generations of Bond fans to share the love of driving.
With multiple driving modes and a range of up to 128km, aspiring secret agents should be able to escape any situation. There are also some secret "Easter Eggs" hidden within the car for the lucky owners to find.
A quick-release steering wheel allows for a speedy entry and exit for the driver, and when they need to stop in a hurry, they can rely on both regenerative braking and high-performance Brembo disc brakes.
Bilstein dampers and coilover springs make sure the suspension can handle the performance squeezed into this two-thirds scale marvel.
