When it comes to the long running Bond Saga there is one issue that is almost more important than the actor that plays 007 and that is the cars used in the movie.
In December it was announced that the next car Daniel Craig will be driving is the one off Aston Martin DB10 in the upcoming film ‘Spectre’. However Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a line-up of their cars will also feature in next adventure.  These will include the Jaguar C-X75, Range Rover Sport SVR and Defender Big Foot, which have been provided by Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations.

The Jaguar C-X75 will feature in a spectacular car chase sequence through Rome alongside the Aston Martin DB10. The C-X75 vehicles used in filming have been built in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering facility in Oxfordshire, England.

Scenes including the heavily modified versions of Land Rover Defender & Range Rover Sport SVR (the fastest and most powerful Land Rover ever) have already been filmed in Austria.
The highly capable Big Foots were constructed by Special Operations with huge 37-inch diameter off-road tyres to tackle the extreme terrain. They also feature bespoke suspension systems and enhanced body protection.

Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations, John Edwards, said: “This is an exciting partnership for Jaguar Land Rover and an opportunity to demonstrate the fantastic capabilities of the Special Operations team.’’
