The Aston Martin DB5 is a British luxury grand tourer that was made by Aston Martin and designed by Federico Formenti of Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera. Released in 1963, it can be seen as an evolution of the final series of DB4. The principal differences between the DB4 Series V and the DB5 are the all-aluminium engine, enlarged from 3.7 litres to 4.0 litres, and fed by triple carburettors, it produced 282bhp; a new ZF five-speed transmission which was more robust than the earlier David Brown unit. At the beginning, the original four-speed manual gearbox (with optional overdrive) was standard fitment, but it was soon dropped in favour of the ZF five-speed box a three-speed Borg-Warner DG automatic transmission was also available, which was changed in favour of a Borg-Warner Model 8 shortly before the DB6 replaced the DB5

The high-performance DB5 Vantage was introduced in 1964. It featured three Weber carburettors and revised camshaft profiles and the engine output upped to 325bhp. 65 DB5 Vantage coupés were built.

123 convertible DB5s were produced (also with bodies by Touring), though they did not use the 'Volante' name until 1965

The DB5 will always be remembered as James Bonds cars, EON productions, to be modified by special effects expert John Stears for use by James Bond in the 1964 film Goldfinger. The original novel by Ian Fleming had Bond driving an Aston Martin DB Mark III. There were a total of four Goldfinger DB5s. There were a total of four Goldfinger DB5s. Two of these were used in filming and two were used only for promotional purposes. The first filming car, DP/2161/1, was fitted with gadgets, it had been the original DB5 prototype car which had made an earlier screen performance in the hands of Roger Moore during episode 2.17, of The Saint - The Noble Scotsman before its appearance in Goldfinger, The same car (registration BMT 216A) was used again in the next film, Thunderball, a year later, it later appeared, minus gadgets in the film The Cannonball Run (1981), once again driven by Roger Moore.
