Sorry - typo - missed the 5. Fixed post.

The Little Car Company was already producing a diminutive Aston Martin DB5, but this Bond version includes a number of added features. Among other things, toy machine guns come out of the front of the car as the headlights retract. Instead of the rotating license plate seen on the original Bond car, which could display plates from different countries, this edition has a digital license plate that does that. It also has a "smokescreen" device that pumps dark smoke through "exhaust pipes."
The mini Bond car also has a lot more power than Little Car's original DB5. The company's standard DB5 model produces just 6.5 horsepower. The Bond version's electric motor can produce up to 21.5 horsepower, and has a top speed that is estimated to be between 45 and 50 miles per hour. The car also has various drive modes, some of which have lower top speeds for younger drivers. The miniature car is not legal to drive on public roads, but owners will be invited to participate in special driving events at race tracks, according to Aston Martin.
