Jaguar Land Rover today unveiled the cars that will star in the latest James Bond flick, SPECTRE at the palatial Thurn und Taxis in Frankfurt. The secret agent will share screen space with the Jaguar C-X75, Range Rover Sport SVR and the iconic Land Rover Defender.
Naomie Harris (Moneypenny) and David Bautista (Hinx) who star in the film, attended the event as guests or honour, while guests were entertained by British singer and musician John Newman, who performed a number of top ten hits from his album.
The Jaguar C-X75, named the most advanced Jaguar ever created, will drive through the moonlit streets of Rome in one of the movie’s most iconic high speed chase scenes. Driven by Hinx, played by David Bautista, the C-X75 supercar was provided by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) in collaboration with development partner Williams Advanced Engineering headquarters in Oxfordshire, England.
Thats not all, specially modified Land Rover Defenders and the powerful Range Rover Sport SVR also star in major action sequences shot in Austria. The highly capable Defenders were constructed by the JLR Special Operations division with huge 37-inch diameter off-road tyres and enhanced body protection to tackle the challenging terrain of the snow-covered mountain roads used for filming.
Fans around the world will be treated to a host of exclusive SPECTRE content on Jaguar and Land Rover’s social channels and brand new websites, including special access to unseen footage and interviews with the design, SVO and stunt teams as well as a stunning 360 dynamic walk-around of the Jaguar C-X75.
SPECTRE is the 24th Bond film in the franchise and will release in October 2015
