Lot Essay
Land Rover has enjoyed a long-standing partnership with EON Productions and the James Bond franchise which dates back to 1983 when a Range Rover Convertible appeared in Octopussy (1983). In Spectre (2015), the Range Rover Sport is prominently featured in one of the film’s major action sequences.
In No Time To Die (2021), a pair of Range Rover Sport SVRs take part in an epic all-terrain chase sequence. After being alerted by MI6 that Logan Ash (Billy Magnussen) had been tracked to Norway and approaching his location, Bond (Daniel Craig) leaves Madeleine Swann’s (Léa Seydoux) childhood home with Madeleine and their daughter Mathilde (Lisa-Dorrah Sonnet). As they drive along the iconic Atlantic Road, the two Range Rover Sport SVRs pass the trio driving in the opposite direction. Bond’s relief is short-lived as they quickly appear in his rear-view mirror and the pursuit begins in earnest.
Land Rover provided six Range Rover Sport SVRs, in Eiger Grey with Carbon Pack and Narvik Black 22-inch alloy wheels with all terrain tyres, to support the filming of No Time To Die. This vehicle (VIN 676, 2018 Model Year) is one of the six supplied. The SVRs used in the film feature the same specially tuned suspension as production models devised by engineers at Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations to deliver more responsive handling and tighter body control without compromising comfort - all critical features for the No Time To Die stunt team when putting these supercharged cars through their paces.
The Range Rover Sport SVR takes luxury performance to new heights with enhanced driving dynamics and a powerful 575PS supercharged V8 engine, making it the perfect choice for the role. It can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds (0-60mph in 4.3 seconds) and has a top speed of 283km/h (176mph), making it the fastest ever Land Rover as well as the most powerful.
