Bond + Jaguar
The New James Bond adventure Spectre premieres in New Zealand next week and it looks like being the best one yet.
A cryptic message from Bond’s past, sends him on his latest mission, to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind Spectre.
Jaguar have a very strong presence in the film; Jaguar C-X75s, Range Rover Sport SVR's and Defender Big Foots have been provided by Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations. This Special Operations team is almost as exciting and secretive as MI5 itself. The focus of the division is on delivering halo vehicles, bespoke commissions, heritage products and branded goods.
Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations has the responsibility to create a range of high performance production models for both Jaguar and Land Rover, vehicle personalisation products and low volume, high value Limited Edition models for both brands.
The Jaguar C-X75 features in a spectacular car chase sequence through Rome alongside the Aston Martin DB10. The C-X75 vehicles have been built in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering facility in Oxfordshire, England. The Range Rover Sport SVR is the fastest and the most powerful Land Rover ever.
Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles 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 to SKYFALL.
