What are the Car Spectre-cles in the 2015 James Bond 007?

James Bond movies have always been linked with first class and customized automobiles just like bread and butter. Since 1964 with "Goldfinger," where Sean Connery rode the Aston Martin DB5, the 007 franchise has become forever linked with premium British autos. When Mr. Bond's latest film, "Spectre," hits U.S. theaters this Friday, it will include a veritable who's who of the U.K.'s top car makers. It is said that one of the movie’s centerpiece car chases is set against the Coliseum, the Tiber River, and the Vatican.

Premiere Date:
James Bond 007 film "Spectre" opens in theaters in the US on Friday November 6 2015, (that's tomorrow).

Cars:
Automobile brands featured in the 2015 Spectre include the Range Rover Sport SVR, Jaguar C-X75, Land Rover Defender Bigfoot and of course the ...
Aston Martin DB10.

Spectre Cars in Action

Range Rover Sport SVR

The Range Rover Sport SVR will be featured in a scene which was filmed on a mountain in Austria in the upcoming James Bond movie, "Spectre".
Description:
While this modified SUV might seem more at home cruising the streets of London, the Range Rover Sport SVR takes on snowy mountainsides of the Austrian Alps during what looks to be a climactic chase scene.

Land Rover Defender Bigfoot

A couple of Modified Land Rover Defenders are featured in the James Bond film, "Spectre." A pair of Defender Bigfoots (maybe Bigfeet) will appear in the same chase scene as the Sport SVR
Description:
These Defenders are billed as the fastest and most powerful Land Rovers built to date. Tricked out by Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations team to include 37-inch off-road tires and enhanced body protection and these Land Rovers are bad to the bone.

Jaguar C-X75

The Jaguar C-X75 is mainly featured in a chase scene through the streets of Rome in "Spectre".
First outing: the 2010 Paris Auto Show.
Description:
This gas-electric hybrid supercar is the fastest Jaguar ever with a projected top speed of more than 200-mph and 0-60 mph time of less than 3.0-seconds.
Production Status:
Experimental Use - Non Commercial.  Jaguar would not actually produce the C-X75 commercially
Vehicle Pilot:
Mr Hinx, the movie’s antagonist (David Bautista)

Aston Martin DB10 (or should I say “The Chosen One”)

Its seductive shape is meant to indicate the styling language the brand will be adopting as it prepares the rollout of its eagerly anticipated upcoming new models over the next few years. The vehicle, like all automobiles in Bond’s unrivaled fleet, is absolutely gorgeous. Bond's signature Aston Martin will be featured most prominently in a chase scene set on the moonlit streets of Rome alongside the Jaguar C-X75.
Description:
The DB10 looks sleek, sexy and powerful, and am quite impressed to see how far it has come away from the DB5 and we can't wait to see how it influences the forthcoming DB11.
Vehicle Pilot:
James Bond 007, the movie’s hero (Daniel Craig).
Destruction Factor:
Taking a look at how many millions of dollars in Aston Martins the production roughed, rumpled, and straight-up wrecked while making Bond’s 24th film, Gary Powell, the movie’s chief stunt coordinator said millions of pounds worth of Aston Martins were wrecked in Rome where a new record was set for smashing up cars on Spectre as the devastating damage done was valued at about $37 million. Aston Martin created 10 of the DB10 two-door coupés for the latest Bond instalment, 7 of which were reportedly destroyed during filming as these cars were going into the Vatican at top speeds of 110 mph. One entire night was shot for this wreckage just to record about four seconds of film.
According to Matthew Clark, Aston Martin’s American communications manager, they were very excited to continue the relationship the Bond and Aston Martin brands shared and they remained a proud partner of the Bond film franchise. The Aston martin brand is celebrating its half century with Bond, which started with the iconic DB5 and now the DB10 giving a glimpse into the future design direction for the next generation of Aston Martins.

Well, new Bond movie, new Aston Martin. That gives us at least two things to look forward to from 2015 into 2016.
