Article:
As much as I would like to say that the DB5 burst onto the automotive scene in 1963, it is not true. For this quintessential Aston Martin was an evolution of the DB4 Series 5 Vantage, and looked virtually identical. The main change with the car was the adoption of a 4.0 litre engine and option of a five speed gearbox. But the DB5 did make a quantum leap in marketing (see the next page) which made it the most famous car in the world.
Cars fitted with the standard 282bhp engine (triple SU carbs) could be expected to record a maximum speed of 148mph. Only 65 cars of a total production run of 898 coupes were fitted with the optional Vantage engine equipped with triple Weber carbs which produced 314bhp.
