James Bond’s Nemesis to Drive the Jaguar C-X75

It has been reveled that James Bond’s nemesis will be white-knuckling the wheel of a Jaguar C-X75 for the film Spectre. That means we can all look forward to a few nice carporn scenes between Bond’s Aston Martin DB10 and the aggressor, the Jaguar C-X75 on the big screen. Austrian Christoph Waltz will fill the villain role. Jaguar C-X75Bond villain to roll dirty in the aggressive new Jaguar C-X75. But is it better than Bond’s Aston Martin DB10?

Will the villain’s car outshine Bond’s in this film? Let’s get straight to the specs and compare:

  • A few of these lovelies shall be modified for the Bond film. The Spectre production team will advise Jaguar of needed customization.

  • Definitely not a reformed hybrid, this thirsty lady is packing a Vantage-sourced 4.7-liter V8 engine.
  • The body was altered just enough to add big screen curb appeal. The question remains: is it sexy enough to compete with the Jaguar bad-guy beast? Will the Jaguar C-X75 be the only ride for Waltz, or will there be a medley between the clashing characters, including the rumored Fiat 500?

  • 2002: Jaguar XKR in Die Another Day
  • 2012: Jaguar XJ in Skyfall
