The James Bond film series has been around for over fifty years and everyone who has seen at least one of the films knows that the main character's car is an indispensable attribute here. In past films, the MI6 agent drove mainly Aston Martin of various models. But many years ago, British automaker Land Rover made an agreement with filmmakers that their cars would appear in the frame as part of product placement.
This time, shortly before the release of the film, the company has released official images of the Land Rover Defender V8 Bond Edition SUV. Obviously, the car will appear in the new film "No Time to Die", which will be released very soon. In addition, the technical characteristics of the machine are also disclosed. Rather, cars. Since there will be two modifications: the short one - 90 and the five-door - 110. Both will have a powerful five-liter turbocharged V8 under the hood.
The SUV received a characteristic black color and inserts on the body with the “007” logo. Unfortunately, the series will be limited to 300 pieces. However, it is already known how much it will cost. For the three-door "shorty" dealers will ask 105 395 pounds (10, 61 million rubles), and the cost of the five-door model will already be 108 040 pounds (10, 87 million rubles).
Externally, the car has changed slightly compared to the regular version. He received a new black color with decorative inserts painted in a silver shade. The wheel arches house 22-inch matte rims. In addition, when the car is started, a splash screen with the 007 logo will appear on the screens, which will also be placed on the sills and the trunk lid. On the side of the center console there is an individual limited-edition “SV Bespoke” badge and a serial number of the vehicle.
Perhaps the most pleasant bonus is that the engineers didn’t give a damn and just put a powerful five-liter V8 in the new Defender without any hybrid installations. Its output will be 525 horsepower. From zero to one hundred kilometers, the car accelerates in just 4.9 seconds. The transmission is automatic eight-speed, and the maximum speed will be 250 kilometers per hour.
