Aston Martin DB5
The Aston Martin DB5 is one of the most famous cars in the world thanks to Oscar-winning special effects expert John Stears, who created the deadly silver-birch DB5 for use by James Bond in Goldfinger (1964). Although Ian Fleming had placed Bond in a DB Mark III in the novel, the DB5 was the company's latest model when the film was being made.
DB5 were shot in James Bond films such as: Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball, Goldeneye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enought (1999), Casino Royale (2006), Skyfall (2012).

Aston Martin DB10
Due to new premiere of James Bond fiml Spectre, new car was unveiled by Sam Mendes and Barbara Broccoli, the director and producer of Spectre, Aston Martin DB10.
The DB10 design was led by Aston Martin's chief creative officer Marek Reichman, with the film's director Mendes working closely with the team. The car was developed specifically for the film and ten units will be hand-built in-house by the company's design and engineering teams in Gaydon. Aston Martin stated that "the DB10 gives a glimpse to the future design direction for the next generation of Aston Martins."
As of December 2014, Aston Martin had released few of the technical details of the car, but they have revealed that it will feature the company's 6-speed manual transmission unit that is used on their V8-engined cars. The car's chassis is based on a modified version of the VH Platform that underpins the V8 Vantage. However the DB10 has a longer wheelbase and is nearly as wide as the One-77. It is powered by AMG’s 5.5 litre V8 biturbo or 6 litre biturbo engine.
