76911 LEGO Aston Martin DB5. It’s time to take your LEGO Speed Champions collection to the next level – 007 style with the Aston Martin DB5. The iconic James Bond 007 Aston Martin DB5 from the films Goldfinger (1964) and Thunderball (1965), is indeed a piece of cinematic history. It has been making an appearance in many of the Bond movies since its first debut. Its sleek lines and powerful V8 engine make it a true masterpiece for enthusiasts, as well as an envious possession for many Bond fans. While the outside of the car is still largely unchanged since its first appearance, the interior now features all sorts of gadgets and gizmos, including a smoke screen dispenser, rotating license plates, machine guns, bulletproof glass, and more. It’s no wonder this car commands such respect – after all, 007 himself drives it!
Set Details
If you’re a car enthusiast, Bond™ fan, or just looking for your next LEGO® building project, look no further than the Speed Champions 007 Aston Martin DB5 (LEGO Set 76911). This construction set is perfect for kids aged 8+ and adults of all ages who want to get their hands on one of the most iconic sports cars in the world… with great LEGO attention to detail.

Although the size of the car means that there is no room for the gadgets that you would find in the real 007 car, this does not detract from the fact that this is a great set which will leave you shaken, not stirred.
