Continuing Jaguar’s long-standing relationship with the James Bond film franchise, two Jaguar XFs made their on-screen debuts in the twenty-fifth film No Time To Die (2021).
Appearing in No Time To Die’s pre-credit sequence, the Jaguar XFs are seen on the streets of Matera, southern Italy, in pursuit of James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux). Driven by SPECTRE henchmen, the two XF saloons are seen weaving through the narrow, twisting streets of the ancient city. They drive across piazzas and down cobbled steps giving chase to 007.
Jaguar provided six XFs for the production of No Time To Die and this vehicle (VIN 618 – 2020 Model Year) is one of the six supplied. It features Jaguar’s all-wheel drive system with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics, which delivered incredible levels of traction on the low-grip surface of Matera’s street with SPECTRE's henchmen demonstrating that no street is too small and no corner too tight. The saloon’s lightweight aluminium-intensive architecture and advanced suspension design enable exceptional handling and agility together with outstanding ride, comfort and refinement.
Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations team worked together with the No Time To Die stunt and action vehicle teams to modify and adapt the vehicles to ensure they could perform the dynamic stunts required.
