Tonight, Jaguar Land Rover celebrated their vehicles appearing in the new Bond
adventure, SPECTRE. Cars, including the Jaguar C-X75, Range Rover Sport SVR and the iconic
Land Rover Defender, stole the show as they were unveiled in public for the first time at
the palatial Thurn und Taxis in Frankfurt.



Naomie Harris (Moneypenny) and David Bautista (Hinx) were guests of honour at the
glamorous event showcasing special stunt vehicles used in the latest instalment of the
James Bond series.  Guests were entertained by British singer and musician John Newman,
who performed a number of top ten hits from his album.



SPECTRE, the 24th James Bond film, from Albert R. Broccoli's EON Productions,
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment, sees the Jaguar C-X75 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, named the most
advanced Jaguar ever created, was provided by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations
(SVO) in collaboration with development partner Williams Advanced Engineering headquarters
in Oxfordshire, England.



SVO was created in June 2014 to focus on meeting the increasing expectations of
today's most discerning and enthusiastic Jaguar and Land Rover customers.  Working on the
development of high performance versions of existing models, luxury bespoke commissions
and limited run collector editions, it represents the very pinnacle of the two iconic
brands.



Specially modified Land Rover Defenders and the fastest, most powerful Land Rover ever,
the 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.



Actor David Bautista said, "To have the opportunity to be a part of an iconic chase
scene in a Bond movie and to drive the C-X75 supercar was like a dream come true for me.
It truly is a beautiful beast of a car that will go down in movie history."



Naomie Harris, who will reprise the role of Moneypenny in SPECTRE said: "I made my
Bond debut in the Defender, and I have so many fond memories shooting that sequence in
Turkey. It's such a special franchise to be a part of, and I'm thrilled to be here in
Frankfurt with the Jaguar Land Rover team".



Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations, John Edwards, said: "For
Jaguar Land Rover to once again be a part of the iconic vehicle line ups in one of the
most celebrated film franchises in the world represents a proud moment for us.   It's an
incredible opportunity to showcase production and concept cars alike and we look forward
to continuing this relationship well into the future."



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 released worldwide from October.
