David Brown Automotive Speedback Silverstone is a Geneva gem

It's a modern-day James Bond coupe with a nostalgic aeronautical flourish.

I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

Leaning heavy on nostalgia, the Speedback looks a lot like the famous Aston Martin DB5 that James Bond first drove in the 1964 film "Goldfinger."

Under the hood is a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 putting out 601 horsepower and 565 pound-feet of torque.

Power goes to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.

Inside is all the leather you could want.

Behind the driver and passenger is a folding "event seat." A bit of a misnomer as it's for storage rather than people.

Aeronautical-inspired air vents are a decidedly retro design element.
