"The connection between Aston Martin and James Bond is something of which we are very proud and it is remarkable that the DB5 remains the definitive James Bond car after so many years," Andy Palmer, President and CEO of Aston Martin, said in a statement.

"To own an Aston Martin has long been an aspiration for James Bond fans, but to own a Silver Birch DB5, complete with gadgets and built to the highest standards in the very same factory as the original James Bond cars? Well, that is surely the ultimate collectors’ fantasy."

As they say, if you have to ask how much it costs, you probably can't afford it. Each DB5 will cost £2.75m ($3.5 million) plus taxes, and delivery will begin in 2020.

We'll just keep on dreaming then.
