The "James Bond" franchise is not only known for its explosive action scenes and thrilling spy operation but also for its veritable feast of high-end cars and the franchise's 24th installment is no exception to this age-old tradition as luxury car manufacturer Jaguar and Land Rover officially confirmed the list of cars that will be present in the movie entitled "Spectre."
On the movie's latest incarnation "James Bond" will still drive an Aston Martin while the bad guys will also get their hands on some of the flashiest cars in world today. Among the confirmed cars are the Jaguar C-X75, the Range Rover Sport SVR and the Land Rover Defender Big Foot, according to Bloomberg.
The most interesting in the list is the Jaguar C-X75 which initially premiered in "James Bond: Skyfall" and was released on 2010. The luxury car packs an 800-horsepower engine and its doors open up resembling that of a bird's wing.
On Monday, Jaguar confirmed the color of the car to be "burnt orange" and movie producers settled for a more conventional 5.0-liter V8 engine rather that the 800-horsepower hybrid engine. The Jaguar C-X75 will also follow a distinguished line of British-made Bond cars driven by villains; this time-honored list includes the Rolls-Royce Phantom III present in "Goldfinger" and the Jaguar XKR convertible in "Die Another Day."
The Jaguar cars to be presented in the newest film were specially built in partnership with Williams Advanced Engineering, according to Road and Track.
Range Rovers has been a steady cast on "James Bond" films. Miss Moneypenny was seen driving a Range Rover Defender 100 Double Cab on the "Skyfall." Elliot Carver drove a Range Rover P38A while chasing Bond in the street of Saigon in "Tomorrow Never Dies." In "Casino Royale," Bond stole a Range Rover and a Range Rover Classic convertible was even spotted in "Octopussy."
"James Bond: Spectre" will open in theaters in November.
