New footage shows Range Rover Sport making impact in Bond movie

The Range Rover Sport SVR goes off-road to pursue James Bond in the latest behind-the-scenes glimpse of No Time To Die, in cinemas from September 30.

The action vehicles and stunt professionals on the new James Bond film pushed the most powerful Land Rover ever made to extremes.

A new video gives a taste of the high-speed action as the team explain why Range Rover SVR was perfect for the job.

The chase sequence puts the luxury performance SUV in the midst of the action, led by Oscar�-winning special effects and action vehicles supervisor Chris Corbould and stunt coordinator Lee Morrison.

Lee Morrison, stunt co-ordinator, said: “I was really keen to shoot a Bond chase sequence off-road, in a really challenging environment and the Range Rover Sport SVR was the perfect choice for this part of the story. We shoot everything for real so we 've pushed it to the absolute maximum and the pursuit promises to be one of the memorable set-piece moments of the film. ”

The SVRs used in No Time To Die feature the same specially tuned suspension as production models devised by engineers at Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations to deliver more responsive handling and tighter body control without compromising comfort.

Finbar McFall, Land Rover Brand and Jaguar and Land Rover marketing operations director, said: “The Range Rover Sport SVRs in No Time To Die strike a unique mix of stealth and performance. Now you can replicate this combination and celebrate the release of the 25th Bond film with a single click on the Land Rover configurator. ”

No Time To Die will also feature a Range Rover Classic alongside three Defenders and a Series III Land Rover.

Land Rover has a long-standing partnership with EON Productions and James Bond films, which began in 1983 when a Range Rover Convertible appeared in Octopussy. Most recently, in 2015 the Range Rover Sport starred in major action sequences in SPECTRE.
