After the sale of the Fabergé egg at Sotheby's, where Bond pushes the price up from £400000 to £500000, 007 follows Kamal Khan and his female companion out of the famous auction house so he can see where they go next. While casually buying a magazine from a kiosk on Bond Street, he watches his targets get into a Mercedes 600 Pullman limousine and signals an Austin FX4 black cab to follow. The cab's driver is Smithers, better known for working Q's lab, and the taxi provides perfect anonymity in London allowing 007 to tail Khan without arousing any suspicion.

Bond villain´s car: Jaguar C-X75 in "SPECTRE" (2015)

According to Autocar Jaguar C-X75 will be in the new 007 film "SPECTRE" (2015)


"It is also rumoured that the C-X75 will be driven by the film's villain. Such a role in the 24th Bond film ties in neatly with Jaguar's "Good to be Bad" campaign, which heralded the launch of the new F-type coupé and showcased British actors playing villains.
Jaguar officials would not confirm which cars are involved in the film at this stage but did not directly counter the reports of the C-X75's involvement, instead simply indicating that any official announcements will be made in 2015."

Zao´s Jaguar XKR is a moving armory which is loaded with twice as much weapons as Bond´s Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. When they were choosing a car to Zao, "Die Another Day" director Lee Tamahori thought, that hard roof XKR reminded too much Bond's V12 car. To avoid confusions "I chose convertible model - even though it is ridiculous that the guy is driving a convertible car in Iceland."
