    Junior Aston Martin DB5 Revealed With R1.2 Million Price Tag

    Late last month we saw Bugatti officially reveal the Baby II with an astronomical price tag but this Aston Martin DB5 Junior costs even more in the top spec.

    The Little Car Company has announced the creation of the DB5 Junior, a two-thirds scale EV produced in partnership with Aston Martin and it looks fantastic.

    The collaboration will see just 1,059 units made (matching the original number of DB5s produced) with owners of the original given first dibs on a Junior.

    Two versions will be produced, a regular version and a carbon-bodied Vantage, with the former getting an 8 hp electric powertrain and the latter getting 13 hp, with a limited slip differential. The normal Junior can do 48 km/h (30 mph); the Vantage’s top speed has not been confirmed yet.

    Both variants will feature 10-inch wire wheels complete with ventilated disc brakes to provide regenerative braking and will be able to travel 32 km (20 miles) on a single charge but a second battery can be added for more.

    Aston chief creative officer Marek Reichman said “The Little Car Company have gone into meticulous detail to truly replicate the stunning form of the original DB5”, and that he is “very much look forward to seeing these fun tributes to the timeless DB5 go into ‘service’ with owners of all ages around the world”.

    Included in the purchase is a membership to The Little Car Club, allowing owners to take part in exclusive events where they (or their children) can drive these DB5 Juniors on actual racetracks.

    Unsurprisingly, the DB5 costs from £42,000 each, with the Vantage starting at £54,000 (approx. R1.2 million).

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
