The Aston Martin DBR5, also known as the DBR5/250, was the second and last Formula One car Aston Martin built in its first period in the sport. It was a smaller and lighter development of the 1959 DBR4, keeping the same basic chassis and engine layout but adding all-independent suspension and engine changes that brought output close to the figure the factory had originally claimed. Results in 1960 were still poor against the rear-engined cars of rivals, so Aston Martin withdrew from Formula One and returned to sports car racing, not coming back to grand prix racing until 2021. Only two DBR5s were constructed, and both were scrapped in 1961.
