THE JAGUAR XKR makes a spectacular debut in the forthcoming new James Bond movie Die Another Day to be released November 19. The looks and sporting character of the XKR made it an obvious choice for this action packed movie – and the villainous Zao, played by Rick Yune, was quick to appreciate his choice of car.
But seductive styling alone doesn’t give Bond’s adversaries the edge over 007 they’re looking for, which meant some very serious modifications were needed. In addition to the obvious visual differences to a standard XKR, Zao’s Jaguar bristles with an array of weaponry that includes a Gatling gun centered behind the driver and passenger seats, missiles that emerge from the front grille and a rack of mortar bombs in the boot. The XKR also features a bulletproof screen to keep Bond’s bullets at bay.
