You can’t just announce a new James Bond movie and wait to see what happens. You need to tease fans worldwide with a new car chase, a fresh explosion, and a couple of good guy-bad guy talks now and then. Spectre’s final trailer has just been released, and we must say it does what it’s supposed to.
By following a trail from Mexico to Italy, Austria and Morocco, James Bond ends up confronting Franz Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz). 007 is on a mission to crack the code behind a mysterious organization called Spectre, which means he needs to get to the source of all-means evil to save the day.
“I came here to kill you,” Bond says. “And I thought you came here to die,” says Oberhauser. “Well, it’s all a matter of perspective,” replies Bond with a smirk. Add the already presented car-chase scenes, stunning Alpine landscapes and a desert hideout and we’re getting somewhere.
Of course, any James Bond movie is a must see, but they made sure the latest installment of the franchise has all petrolheads’ attention. We’re hinting at the auto-goodies Spectre is putting on the line, with some of them being a one-of-a-kind contraption.
It’s clearly a matter of taste, but this editor is going to take the villain’s side this time around. Hey, we get it; Aston Martin created a unique model nobody besides Daniel Craig (and a couple of stuntmen) will ever drive, but just look at that Jaguar C-X75.
When we got up close to it in Frankfurt, it felt like love at first sight. We’re talking about four 145 kW (194 hp) electric motors - one for each wheel - that together offer a total of 780 horsepower and total torque of 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm). The truly impressive feature is its super-cool drivetrain that can independently work each wheel across the full speed range. And we haven’t even discussed the micro gas turbines that generate enough electricity to offer a maximum range of 900 km (559 miles), not to mention its design.
Well, I guess November 6th is the moment of truth, isn’t it?
