Land
Rover's new Defender is set to star in the upcoming James Bond movie “No
Time To Die,” and a new ad shows the incredibly tough conditions the rugged
off-roader had to endure during filming.
The ad shows rehearsal footage filmed at a location in
Scotland, and in it we see Defenders survive stunts like a 100-foot jump,
high-speed drive on rough terrain, and even a flip.
Land Rover supplied ten examples of its four-door Defender
110 models to be used as stunt vehicles for the movie, including some of the
earliest examples built. One of them has a VIN ending in 007—how very
appropriate.
No modifications were made to the body structure except the
installation of a roll cage for safety purposes. And naturally the Defenders
were up to the task thanks to their high ground clearance, off-road suspension,
and massive 35 inches of wading depth.
The Defender is set to reach dealers this spring as a 2020
model. It will be priced from $50,925 and include a three-door Defender 90
model, too. And if you like the particular spec of the Defenders using for
filming, Land Rover said they feature Santorini Black exteriors, darkened skid
pans, and 20-inch wheels with off-road tires.
“No Time to Die” stars Daniel Craig in the lead role and is
set to hit theaters on April 8, 2020. There will be at
least four Aston Martins appearing, too, including the new Valhalla
hypercar.
