Jaguar XF:
Jaguar XF has also made its debut in the latest Bond movie. Two Jaguar XF cars were filmed in Matera, Southern Italy. However, these cars were used to chase James Bond, who is seen driving his favourite DB5.
Chris Corbould,No Time To Die’sspecial effects and action vehicle supervisor, said: “The Jaguar XF was an exciting choice for this high-intensity car sequence. We always look to push the boundaries to extreme limits in our stunts, and this extends to the capabilities of the vehicles too. There is no compromise with this particular scene. There were only inches to spare in the narrow alleyways and no margin for error, the XF shows its performance and driving dynamics."
Anna Gallagher, Jaguar Brand Director, said, “Whether it’s a high-speed pursuit through twisting streets and piazzas of Southern Italy, where the car filmed it’sNo Time To Diechase sequences, or the bustling streets of London – the XF really is a car for every occasion."
