Aston Martin may still be James Bond’s ride, but Jaguar Land Rover will get plenty of screen time in the upcoming 007 film Spectre when it premieres this fall. At the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, the British firm unveiled a fleet of cars that will appear in the movie.

The movie cars include several beefed-up Land Rover models and a Jaguar C-X75, which will be featured in a nighttime chase scene through Rome, with Dave Bautista’s villain Hinx at the wheel. Bautista and Naomie Harris, who plays Eve Moneypenny in the Bond series, were on hand at the unveiling.

The C-X75 is Jaguar’s aborted hybrid supercar. It first appeared as a concept at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, sporting a plug-in hybrid powertrain that included two turbine engines. Jaguar partnered with Williams Advanced Engineering (the engineering arm of the Williams Formula One team) to put it into production, switching to a 1.6-liter piston engine before giving up on the C-X75 entirely.

Other vehicles set to appear in Spectre include some modified Land Rover Defenders sporting roof racks, winches, big tires, and other butch off-road accessories. With the Defender officially being put out to pasture, this could be considered a last hurrah of sorts.

Rounding out the fleet is a car you can actually still buy, a Range Rover Sport SVR. The high-performance Land Rover gets some jewelry of its own, including a roof-mounted LED light bar. All of the SUVs will be used in scenes shot in Austria.

All of the vehicles were prepped by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), the company’s special projects division. Created last year, SVO handles everything from specialty production models like the Range Rover Sport SVR, to restorations and customization work.

In Spectre, Bond himself will drive an Aston Martin DB10, a model created specifically for the movie. Like its Jaguar C-X75 rival, the DB10 will never be made available to customers, although its styling may influence future Aston production models.

I was skeptical of the Cadillac Lyriq-V, but a test drive changed that

The 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V is the first all-electric model in the luxury brand’s V-Series performance lineup. The V-Series has been instrumental in helping Cadillac shake off its stodgy image with fast-and-fun cars that go tire-to-tire with their counterparts from BMW M5 and Mercedes-AMG. But, more often than not, Cadillac V-Series models have been powered by loud-and-thirsty V8 engines — the opposite of the silent, zero-emission electric powertrains that are ostensibly Cadillac’s future.
