3.995 cm^3 - I think not.  I have changed it to 3995 cm^3, a figure I derived from the inches figure already quoted.--Commander Keane 15:12, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Apparently two different versions of the shooting break were built? Anyone know about this? And yes, I do need a response.
Example one. Note that in this version, it appears the rear passengers have a window they can roll down...?

Example two, which seems to be a lot more common.

Anyone have any ideas? Were there two different coachbuilders putting together shooting breaks? --RThompson82 (talk) 10:23, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I left in the language claiming 330 PS/325 bhp with the 3 Weber carbs; but sources differ.  AstonMartins.com lists 314 bhp as the proper output.  For some reason, the DB6 (with presumably the same engine) is listed with the same output of 282 bhp as the DB5; but the DB6 Vantage is described as having 325 bhp.PVarjak (talk) 22:57, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Power figures are pretty vague, especially with a manufacturer like AM back then. Even if you had a time machine and were in Newport Pagnell, these numbers would be all over the place. It's ok.  Mr.choppers | ✎  23:03, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The article's wrong. According to Michael Sedgwick and Mark Gillies in A-Z of Cars 1945-1970 (Bay View Books, Bideford, 1993, ISBN 1 870979 39 7), p.21, which is fairly authoritative -- Sedgwick was former Curator of the Montagu Motor Museum, now the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu -- the standard DB5 was rated at 282bhp, the Vantage at 314bhp. The standard DB6 was also rated at 282bhp, the engine being unchanged, but the DB6 Vantage was 325bhp to compensate sporting owners for the greater weight of the Six. (The DB5 and DB6 Wiki articles are also wrong about the relative weights of the cars.) What now follows is OR, but, discounting all the custom conversions by recent owners, there is one original exception to this rule: the sole factory DB5 Vantage Shooting Brake, KUK 500D. When Radfords returned this car to the factory after conversion in late summer 1965, the customer requested a Vantage engine to be fitted before delivery. The factory had switched over to DB6 production by then (the car was one of the last DB5s), so they installed a DB6 Vantage engine of 325bhp. Two other Shooting Brakes have been retro-converted to Vantage spec in recent years, but those aren't quite original and genuine. Khamba Tendal (talk) 19:20, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Playmobil ? 

message: Lobo151 -- I see your point, but I think the story of the 'No Time to Die' stunt cars and the one sold at auction, with technical details of their design and construction made public, possibly for the first time, had become sufficiently extensive to deserve a sub-heading of its own. I tried to avoid making the new heading too long, but 'cars' or stunt cars' could be added. Thanks for your astonishingly prompt comment: I had only posted the edit minutes before.194.81.226.131 (talk) 12:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Why does it deserves a sub-heading and the DB5 from GoldenEye not for example? When there are no other sub-titles, I think there is no need for this one. I don't see why No Time to Die is different or more special then the other movies. You can asked the question if not to many details are mentioned now for stunt cars, for the other films there is also a lot more information, but must we mentioned everything?Lobo151 (talk) 02:25, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you Lobo151. Your argument is correct. No sub-heading is needed. 194.81.226.132 (talk) 11:14, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
