$201k : Gadget-filled, Engine-less Replica Of James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 Sells For Price Of New Bentley Bentayga

$201k : Someone just bought gadget-filled, engine-less replica of James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 for the price of new Bentley Bentayga.

The 1:1-scale model features functional replica gadgets like rotating license plates, a removable “ejector roof,” and a rear bullet shield.

It also features tire slashers; oil sprayer; smoke screen machine; machine guns with strobe lights and sound effects.

A James Bond fan, known simply as “akm”, has splashed $201,007 on an engine-less replica of Aston Martin DB5 that is jampacked with all the gadget seen in the 007’s iconic vehicle.

The 1:1-scale model is the spitting image of the spy’s silver Aston Martin DB5 coupe that was first driven by legendary star Sean Connery in 1964 James Bond classic movie, Goldfinger.

Handmade from fiberglass, the only thing that separates the replica car and original DB5 is its lack of powertrain and engine — meaning it is not drivable.
