Daniel Craig’s penultimate turn as James Bond, 2015’s Spectre, is one of the more middling entries in the long-running film franchise. But the movie still had its share of thrilling sequences, with one of the best being the extended chase scene through the storied streets of Rome between 007 and Dave Bautista’s villainous Mr. Hinx.
The spectacular cars on display are what made the scene so memorable. Bond drove an Aston Martin, of course: the DB10 concept car which was secretly based on the next generation of the Vantage that would debut two years later. Hinx was also in a British concept car, a bright-orange supercar from Jaguar called the C-X75.
Unlike the DB10, which was created specifically for the film, the Jag was originally intended for a production run. But by the time the movie was out, Jaguar had already canceled the C-X75 project, citing economic troubles at the company (what else is new?).
Thus, the C-X75 was left as one of the greatest ‘what if?’s in Bond car history. Until now, that is. Callum, the eponymous design house of Ian Callum — a man who knows a thing or two about designing Bond cars — has created a bespoke, one-off C-X75 that finally makes the striking supercar street-legal.
