007’s Aston Martin is greatest movie car ever

James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 is the greatest movie car ever, according to a poll.

The iconic motor was first seen in 1964’s Goldfinger and has appeared in seven Bond movies to date, most recently in 2015’s Spectre.

It comes equipped with a host of gadgetry including a bullet-proof rear windscreen, in-built machine guns, tyre slashers – and an ejector seat.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang finished second in the survey, followed by Doc Brown’s DeLorean from the Back to the Future trilogy.

The research of 2,000 UK adults was commissioned by Hyundai to celebrate the appearance of the Veloster, the Kona and the Santa Fe in new Marvel movie, Ant-Man and The Wasp, out now in UK cinemas.

Carried out through OnePoll.com, the research also identified the greatest car chases of all time.

Number one was the sequence from The Italian Job, second place went to the chase in Bullitt and third spot went to the scene from 1971’s The French Connection.
