The David Brown Speedback from young automotive company David Brown Automotive is inspired by the Aston Martin DB5, famous for being probably the most famous James Bond vehicle
The Speedback's 5-liter V8 engine provides 510 horse power, 461 pounds-feet of torque and enough juice to help the car zoom from zero to 100 km/h in only 4.6 seconds.
The Speedback also borrows certain elements from Jaguar, like for example its 6-speed automatic gearbox. The car's aluminum chassis is inspired by that of the Jaguar XK, as is the plush interior decor.
While the Speedback may seem like more of a tribute car than an original idea, it does have one unique feature -- a hidden seat built into the trunk. What this might be used for is up to your imagination.
