Which ones? The C-X75, Range Rover Sport SVR and Defender ‘Big Foot’, all prepared by Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations.
The C-X75 will feature in a spectacular car chase sequence through Rome alongside Bond’s Aston Martin DB10. The C-X75 vehicles used in filming have been built in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering in Oxfordshire, England.
EXTREME TERRAIN
Scenes including the heavily modified versions of the Land Rover Defender and Range Rover Sport SVR have already been filmed in Austria.
The SVR is the fastest and most powerful Land Rover yet.
The Big Foot units were constructed by Special Operations with huge 37” off-road tyres to tackle the extreme terrain. They also feature bespoke suspension systems and enhanced body protection.
John Edwards, MD of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations, said: "This is an exciting partnership for Jaguar Land Rover and an opportunity to demonstrate the fantastic capabilities of the Special Operations team.’’
Jaguars and Land Rovers have been involved in a succession of Bond films. Most recently, in 2012, the rugged Defender 110 Double Cab Pick Up was driven by field agent Eve Moneypenny in the opening sequence of ‘SKYFALL’.
