A Jaguar C-X75 (painted in dark orange) appears in the 2015 James Bond film Spectre as Mr. Hinx's car (licensed ROMA 860K).
It takes part in a car chase around Rome against James Bond, who drives an Aston Martin DB10.
Jaguar supplied seven examples to the filmmakers.
Although the cars are visually faithful to the original C-X75 concept, they are mechanically unrelated.
According to JLR Special Vehicle Operations chief John Edwards, the cars are "constructed around a spaceframe built to World Rally Championship spec" and powered by a dry sump V8 engine.
Although this new appearance of the C-X75 led to speculation that production plans for the car were being revived, Edwards was quoted as saying "the film was an opportunity to showcase C-X75, but it doesn’t mean a change in strategy."
The car was built in collaboration with Williams F1.
