Live your best 007 life in this Aston Martin DB5 Junior from No Time To Die
This mini-me 007 spec DB5 comes with a digital number plate, headlights that drop to reveal a twin set of simulated Gatling guns and even a smokescreen function.The Little Car Company has teamed up one more with Aston Martin and EON Productions to launch a No Time To Die special edition Aston Martin DB5 Junior. Inspired by the 25th James Bond film, No Time To Die which is due for release in Aussie cinemas this November, the film sees the return of the iconic Aston Martin DB5 front and centre.
This latest collaboration with The Little Car Company sees the DB5 as a two-thirds scale version of the original with a fully electric powertrain. It also comes kitted out with gadgets galore. The No Time To Die edition pays homage to the rich shared history of the brands, with Silver Birch paintwork, Smiths instruments, individually numbered chassis plates and Aston Martin badges.
To create this mini-me version of the DB5, the original was 3D-scanned for reference, allowing a completely accurate reproduction. While most elements of the car have been fully replicated, some have been reimagined for the modern era. The fuel gauge for example has been converted into a battery meter, while the oil temperature now monitors the motor temperature.
You’ll also notice that the Junior DB5 is a convertible rather than a coupe as per The No Time To Die film, The Little Car Company says that's because they wanted to offer seating for an adult and child side by side. The electrified DB5 has a range of up to 128 kilometres so any aspiring secret agents should be able to escape any situation.
There is also some secret ‘Easter Eggs’ hidden within the car for the lucky owners to find because no Bond car would be complete without Q style gadgets.
All the gadgets are operated by individual controls in a hidden switch panel. At the push of a button, the headlights drop to reveal a twin set of simulated Gatling guns, complete with imitation barrel blasts and flashes.
There is also a unique digital number plate and just like the original, the special edition Junior can produce a smokescreen to aid a successful getaway. Ejected through the rear ‘exhaust’, the smoke has a supply tank that supplies an hour of safe smoke before it needs topping up.
Although the DB5 Junior is not road legal, as an authentic Aston Martin model, every owner will receive automatic membership into the Aston Martin Owners Club. In addition, all clients will receive complimentary membership of The Little Car Club, allowing them to take part in exclusive events where they, their children and their grandchildren can drive their DB5 Juniors on the prestigious racetracks.
Only 125 cars will be built with existing Aston Martin DB5 Junior clients given the first refusal on upgrading to a No Time To Die edition. Pricing for the car has been set at £90,000 ($170,000 AUD) almost double the price of the standard DB5 Junior.
