5:19 the look on the face of a taxi driver after seeing this car is absolutely epic.
And his thought was that how hard and how long I’ll work I’ll never can afford this beautyful piece of a copycat.
You can really see the Jaguar in her. I saw one of these in Berkeley Square in London recently and I’m not gonna lie, it looked bloody amazing! Stopped everyone in their tracks, including me!
Fun fact: James Bond was a Bentley owner
a new car with an old soul.
damn it. it's GORGEOUS.. i'm in love.
That's a pretty good retro-design actually.
Those rings probably scratched the shiny wooden steering wheel. Yeah I'm fun at parties.
pod507 bloody guy...dont scratch the shaguar
i gasped
Wow! Respects from South Africa. That's a car that will appreciate in value over time
DB Speedback 🇬🇧 Saville Row smooth with an hidden angry edge. Love it❤
Almost perfect. Shame about the grille (probably a trademark infringement if they'd made it a proper Aston Martin shape). If I had the money to buy one I'd pay a skilled coach builder to modify the grille.
The front looks like a Mini !
You beat me beat me to it - I had the same thought
And the david brown makes a remastered mini too.
yes or the lights from a Lexus - the ugly convertible one. and the grille is Ford Focus.
A nice wee cameo at the end there... What a seriously lovely looking car. If only money were no object!
I've seen this exact car about 2 years ago parked outside Lloyds in London. The brokers were all over it!
Just stunning, should be in the next "Proper" Bond Film
Thanks for testing this car. It'd be nice if you could share you findings, which I thought was the point of videos like this.
I love these wooden steering wheels
did anyone do any quality control on the leather? checkout the headrest
That's one of the most beautiful cars I've seen in a long time. Shame about the price.
Its necessary because the company is still very small and new so they need money to keep the company running.
WOW!!! That is what you call real classic British style! You will also see it in one of Bentley's models...
I have watched this video multiple times, the speedback gt is an absolute work of art
Like the car looks classic and modern mixed..
Love the music tho
Not a single good shot of the rear end of this car throughout the entire film.
CORRECT!!!
Not filmed by a auto fan.....
it sounded great roaring off at the very end
Stunning car just wish we heard more about the car and less about 007.
Roving Roller. It’s against the law not to mention James Bond when talking about Aston Martin
I very much agree. No price, no production numbers, not even power output or engine type =/
Thomas Hill he does say at around the 4 minute mark, supercharged V8 producing 500 horsepower from a Jag XKR.. oh, and it’s half a million quid. Did you even watch the video?
@@stupot205 and they are making 100. Everything he asked was answered.
Great looking car, I love it. Only criticism i have is it wasn't built ground up with a bespoke chassis etc. !
he needs to speedback to the barber
Ikr
and have a shave
nailed it
@12 Volts I admire your sense of... something
Fast forward to 2019, he’s as bald as a snooker ball.
I've been lucky enough to sit in and start a DB5, honestly nothing compares, the engine sounds like an old Rolls Royce Merlin engine.
Cars back then were far lighter than they are today. That means that you get better position and space to the engine which gives you the full sound of the engine.
Modern cars are heavy and are all about the exhaust sound rather than engine sound.
almost perfectly if they would of just had the number shape on the grill, like the 5. this would be worth the money , for the exclusivity and sheer coolness.
Nothing beats Ian Callum's Jaguar MKII Restomod !
Is this the new Doug Car?
what a beautiful car, although to me it looks more like the Zagato. if I could afford it I'd have one
Is this a reupload or did I see the show?
Aston is now bringing its own DB4GT out.... £1.5 million as a "continuation" production of the original car. Could be cynical...definitely wonderful. For you Americans, that is similar to continuation Cobras in the nineties. Which is better a DB4GT or an AC Shelby Cobra? Who cares? They are both stunning icons.
Not the first time. In '88 AM made 4 'Sanction II' cars using unused chassis numbers.
This effort between AM and Zagato left them with 2 unused bodies. These bodies are now being fitted on old DB4 chassis to make the 'Sanction III' cars. The SII cars were completely new cars built using the original tooling hence they ended up with a 4.2L motor rather than the original 3.8L.
Not road legal though
The American cars of the era could be had by working class people that is the key difference between them and British cars.
i think they should have added the twin fluted front bonnet edges leading down to the grill, like on the DB5, i think it would have looked much better than the Ford Scorpio style front end as another commenter noted
The Ford Scorpio look is based on classic Ford looks so that is not bad either to be honest.
This is the car that everybody wold like to have !! I adore it !!!
Great film. You are exactly right on the cost. Make it 12ok US and tons of buyers....
It’s beautiful.
Can anyone tell the name of soundtrack as background music in this video. Appreciate!
Hello fifth gear. When is the new series coming out?
Never.
Jack Mayall they are canceld
Poor Piano oh no ☹️😂
1sub is 1day in prison for hillary clinton oh
It is certainly an interesting tribute, for lack of a better word, if that was indeed this manufacturer's intent, to the storied Aston DB5.
What's got my curiosity is the similarities are ridiculously striking, right down to the same exact name of this maker: David Brown. I'm a little surprised that we have not heard of any lawsuits of any kind from Aston Martin. Or are we to assume any similarities to the DB5 are merely coincidental? In any case, I must admit it's still a great-looking car.
That's a beautiful car
So, basically an eleventh generation Ford Thunderbird for £500,000?
No thanks.
It's based on a Jaguar XK
+spudnik88 - projection much?
Thunderturd was the first thing that came up in my mind as well.
Wanted to comment on it but then I saw yours..... ah well.
So its for people in essex and all surrounding areas?
All modern coachbuilt cars like that DB speed will cost about £500,000.
The reason for that is it is not a mass produced car and is in effect a custom built coach.
Wait ! Was that Daniel Crag at the end at 6:59 ?
Love this car
What is the soundtrack starting at 1:32, if anyone knows. Appreciate!
AM must surely be kicking themselves over this,its a beautiful car.......if a little pricey.
Agreed. The interior is beautifully done -- a tribute to the era and a far more desirable place to be than today's supercars.
Hm, Jeremy Clarkson would have driven this in the middle of nowhere with amazing cinematography. FG sits in a traffic jam.
FG itself is retro: pretty much Top Gears old format before its relaunch in 2002.
Yes and there would have been lots of shots Clarkson sounding off his "funny" quips (narcissist that he is).
Most people enjoy his jokes/quips etc. enough that many of them are now common parlance :/ afraid you are in the minority here sorry 😞
Interesting car its something Bristol Cars would build...not sure about the BMW mini look a like front- its cashing in on modernizing the past a new grow market?
Personally, I think that the David Brown Speedback GT is the best looking car ever made
component wise I could probably do this on the cheap as a custom vehicle using a british donor set up vehicle and create a business out of it for a fraction of the price and still come out happy
Did you do it then?
This looks better than the original, but still classical. Brilliant.
Better? No
You have Absolutely NO TASTE !!
so it's a coach builder's XKR, then?
The shocking thing to me is that the current auction price for a 1960's DB5 is around $450,000. Far less than the 500K pounds (or $625,150 US Dollars) of the remake.
You could buy a 1964 DB5 and still have $175.000 left for a Bentley Continental!
Why didn’t they put it on the DB9 underpinnings
Nice bracelet
I love this car so much, possible to buy one in US?
With proper, pretty but delicate, non-US-legal bumpers? Fat chance. Cars are legislated and regulated into you-can't-have-what-you-want conformity here, not styled.
*-*? I love this style of cars...
where was the review???
Amazing.
for the most famous movie car, i think the james bond LOTUS ESPRIT submarine car would have given the DB5 a run for its money..
The Aston is a nicer looking car.
The most famous movie car? Probably Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Beautiful
nice car
XKR (2004 ish era) seems just as cool though 🤔
Good looking car
The most beautiful car made in the last 40 years. Halve the price and drop in battery power and I'm in. ;)
That is a seriously fugly car! The original looks so much better proportioned.
Looks like a 2002 Thunderbird retro
Nice car!
From the front it almost looks like another, wide bodied, variant of the current no-so-mini Mini
It looks just like a Mini One from the front
Does anyone the song at 6: 15? Thanks?
His ‘initials’ weren’t 007, they were J.B.
Indeed. It's pretty apparent if you bother to look at the number plates of the actual "Goldfinger" prop vehicle DB5: secure.i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01748/aston-460_1748203c.jpg
Peeps, Wtf indication really love this one!deeplz interest
The front is a Ford Scorpio.
niptodstan
yes exactly! 😂 but still very pretty car! 😆
but way to expensive! The original is far better looking car! The front is Fugly way looking, can get over that! 😝
"gopping"
Good spot... ironic really because the front grill of all new fords are straight up aston martin rip offs
the front grill on the mini has that same look
Make more of them and charge less? Great looking car.
I actually recognize the jaguar steering wheel
Looks like a flattened Mini
This car is amazing. And amazingly expensive.
Nice number plate
I saw several attempts by British entrepreneurs to revive classic cars such as this one, jaguar E type,MG. .invariably they all are priced beyond the means of the mildly rich...the point?....there is a niche market for replicas for certain car models from all over the globe..we car lovers need some entrepreneurs to set up production of these classic cars(with the option of modern twists and safety issues is also welcomed) at really affordable prices...think of it..as a buyer you can choose the engine ,tyres ,interior etc..I will consider this DB if it was priced close to a jaguar..
The problem with producing a mass produced car is that the regulations that control their production make it very difficult to manufacture them in mass.
Hence why we only really see limited specialized cars that cost half a millions. Less regulations and we would see really nice cars for £20,000 never mind £500,000.
How many Speedbacks have they made so far...???
What are you going to tell David? Tell him to build a few more.
thats the most beautiful car ever .
beautiful
😍bellissima!
Very interest car...Indeed!
IT'S like like sporty and great car beutifull car on the road what? Yes .
So Fifth gear is now dead too ? =(
What? Why?
An E-type and a Ferrari 599 had a baby.
It's got the steering wheel and indicator stalks from my jaguar XF.
And navigation system
cool looking car, I would not say no in having one.
Ok, it's obviously different but it still resembles a lot to DB5
It resemebles 1960s and 70s Aston Martin cars with a little bit of Bristol thrown in.
The only let down stylistically was the front grille. The rest is pretty good, but what's the point of this car ? I don't really know.
I think its a pretty cool car. It will be incredibly rare, and anyone who can afford one won't really care about the price.
I like it.
I rather just by a new Aston Martin along w/ a vintage DB5 or DBS for that price.
Couldn’t agree more! And this thing is not as good, nice looking or as exciting as either of them would be! Overpriced twee rubbish
The most famous movie car is Wayne and Garth’s Ford Pinto.
No its a Jaguar XKR (in drag)
007 at the end sure looked like Daniel Craig. Was it him?
looks like a mini from the front
Looks nice but the screen pillars and window line look very claustrophobic inside - luckily I don't have a spare £500k, so its not an issue....
wish clarkson test this db5
