Just been reading in the latest edition of Land Rover Owner International that the new Bond movie - Skyfall - that is filming at the moment will have Bond driving an Evoque................ and a Defender. JLR has supplied 70 cars to the film makers for use during filming. LR's have featured before - in Casino Royale there was an awful Maya Gold RRS with brown fabric upholstery and FFRR's and Defenders have been seen in The Living Daylights
So it's official then! Can't wait! I'm thinking there will be a manual tranny as when Bond is being chased by baddies there is little time to wait for the rising of the auto selector!
or when he needs to reverse out of a tight spot and the camera takes 2 minutes to engage..!
I think he'll need more than a manual box to outrun baddies in an Evoque, unless he's being chased by a Reliant Robin
And wait for the wing mirrors to be knocked off!
oh boy, I'm sure bond will seduce someone atleast with those romantic mood lights.
and what if he accidentally press the tail gait button while unbuttoning his pants. Poor bond has to step out in the middle of chase (or climax) to close it.... LT should give one with welded trunk.
The big question for me is, will he take the evoque off road?
I think he will because the Evoque is the most stylish way to go off road these days.
Tailgate opener is an option on UK spec cars invoke so he's safe from that one unless he specced the option........... he'll have problems converting the seats to a bed if he has a coupe too, it will take way too long for Bond to run the seat forward to get the lady in the back............
I'm not sure its Bond driving the Evoque... Think he has a Jag instead?
