A GOLDEN TOUCH
Like most legendary stars of sixties celluloid, the original Aston Martin DB5 was instantly recognisable from every angle. In part, this was thanks to the iconic Aston Martin side strake, which adorns this DB12. This time, burnished in gold to mark 60 years of Goldfinger fame. Functionally, it draws air from the front wheel arches to reduce lift and enhance stability. Yet its form continues to draw starry-eyed glances from admirers of all ages.
