The C-X75 also wants to appear in the new James Bond film

We have already seen how some of the protagonists of the new James Bond film have been revealed, which will be titled SPECTRE. Among all the names that were confirmed, the ones that caught our attention were, of course, those of the cars that will be driven by the most important characters in the film. The Aston Martin DB10 and the more modest Fiat 500 will be two of the ones we will see in the thrilling scenes of the film.

But we still needed to know which car the villain of this new instalment, the 24th in the series, would drive. The actor is Christoph Waltz and the car he will use, as was learned this morning, is the Jaguar C-X75, a concept model that was ultimately cancelled but has been revived so that it can be filmed in the movie.

This model costs around one million euros and has 850 CV of power, more than enough to stand up to super agent 007, who is once again played by Daniel Craig. The engineers at Jaguar have worked on this car to equip it with the functions needed to take part in the film, and this has required certain changes to the mechanics it originally had.

The hybrid traction system has been removed and replaced with a supercharged Jaguar 5.0 V8 engine, which will provide the power in the film. It will not be the first time a villain in the saga has used a car from this brand, as British as the agent himself, but it is also true that this could be linked to the campaign used to launch the Jaguar F-Type, which, if you remember, was called Good to be bad and featured several British actors in villain roles.

The Jaguar XJ8 was also one of the cars used in the film Casino Royale in 2008, along with the XJR, while in the 2002 film Die Another Day, Bond faced off against the Aston Martin Vanquish. If there is one thing to enjoy in the films about this secret agent, it is certainly the luxury and exquisite taste in choosing a car. His and the villain’s.
