This sleek, sexy, silver vehicle of death is still the gold (or silver, whatever) standard for Bond cars. It might be the coolest car ever. Machine guns, rear window shields, ejector seats, oil slick emitter, bulletproof glass—the 80′s arcade game Spy Hunter essentially stole everything about the DB5. You’d be best advised not to flip the finger to this car’s driver.
