The upcoming James Bond film Spectre will feature Jaguar and Land Rover cars alongside Bond’s favourite Aston Martin, the makers announced on Tuesday. The line-up of vehicles that in the highly anticipated 24th instalment — which sees actor Daniel Craig reprising the role of the British super-spy for the fourth time — includes Jaguar C-X75s, Range Rover Sport SVRs and Defender Big Foots. The film releases in November.
The Jaguar C-X75 will feature in a spectacular car chase sequence through Rome alongside the Aston Martin DB10, the carmaker said in a statement. The C-X75 vehicles have been built in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering facility in Oxfordshire, England.
Scenes including the heavily modified Land Rover Defenders and Range Rover Sport SVR have already been filmed in Austria.
Big Foots are constructed by the Special Operations division with 37-inch off-road tyres and enhanced body protection.
“This is an exciting partnership for Jaguar Land Rover and an opportunity to demonstrate the fantastic capabilities of the Special Operations team,” said John Edwards, managing director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations.
This is not the first time that Land Rover vehicles feature in a Bond film: The Defender 110 Double Cab Pick Up made its appearance in the opening sequence of Skyfall.
