They come in overnight, they are either trashed completely, or we have to make it right for the next day.’ Hardly surprising considering the airborne manoeuvres in the video that heads this page… 4) Even if you pull the plug on a supercar, it can still be a marketing win Our guys were out on set 24:7 pretty much, looking after cars that get trashed all the time. Not just in producing the vehicles in a spec that works for them, but also in supporting the vehicles. Each car appearing in Spectre got a real pasting, Edwards explains: ‘It’s hard work, are very demanding. They throw us a challenge and we grasp it.’ 3) The cars got a right royal thrashing ‘Working on Bond is aligned with the skunkworks capabilities we have, rather than our core business like Range Rover Sport SVR, which is a serious product with serious volume down the production line,’ John Edwards, JLR Special Operations managing director, told CAR. Creating the vehicles and managing the logistics fell to JLR’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) arm, the division that makes Range Rovers go more quickly than they really should, builds Lightweight E-type continuations at £1m a pop and created the Project 7 F-type.
No less than 22 JLR cars were used for filming, including seven Jags, four Range Rover SVRs and a whole load of Land Rover Defenders. It’s up to EON which cars go in each Bond film, and continuing a partnership begun on Skyfall, it got on the blower to Jaguar Land Rover. 2) Aston’s not the only star of the show – Jaguar Land Rover’s SVO team’s been busy
#Spectre film cars pro
Rally pro Mark Higgins doubles for Daniel Craig in the driver’s seat, jumping and powersliding his way around priceless historical Rome furniture in the film’s centrepiece chase through Vatican City. Ten Vantage-based DB10s have been built, all for filming purposes. This is unlikely to be the last modern-era Aston with minimal surfacing and a predacious, shark-like nose… It’s not the replacement for the DB9 – that’s the DB11, due to be revealed soon ( read CAR’s scoop dossier on the DB11 here) – but it does give us a few clues as to what it will look like. Introducing the DB10 as the film’s ‘first cast member’ at the car’s reveal at Pinewood Studios, Spectre director Sam Mendes described how the car was brought into being by a collaborative brief between himself, EON Productions (owners of the Bond film rights since 1961) and Aston Martin’s design team at Gaydon. 1) Director Sam Mendes helped choose the DB10 design personallyĪston Martins have become synonymous with Bond ever since Sean Connery first got behind the wheel of a silver DB5 in Goldfinger, but this is the first time an Aston has been designed specifically for a 007 flick.
