Williams Advanced Engineering was commissioned to build six new cars for use in the chase sequence, but the rigours of the scene necessitated significant deviations from the original design. Two years later, however, the C-X75 received a temporary lifeline from the producers of SPECTRE, who sought a unique and menacing speed machine to accommodate the equally intimidating Mr Hinx. Unfortunately, the program was cancelled in late 2012 after only five examples were built. Viewed as a potential competitor to hybrid supercars like the Porsche 918, the McLaren P1, and the Ferrari LaFerrari, the C-X75 was approved for a limited production of 250 units to be built in conjunction with Jaguar SVO and Williams Advanced Engineering (a division of the well-known Formula 1 concern). Phenomenally sleek and attractive, the concept received immediate customer interest, and Jaguar eventually modified the power train to a more standard hybrid-electric configuration with an inline four-cylinder gasoline engine. The C-X75 had originally debuted five years earlier at the Paris Salon, envisioned as a gas turbine-powered all-wheel-drive electric car wrapped in a slippery carbon-fiber-reinforced exterior penned by Ian Callum’s team at Jaguar Design. While Bond drove an Aston Martin DB10 specifically designed for the film, Hinx piloted an exotic rear-engine supercar, the Jaguar C-X75 concept car. In the 2015 release SPECTRE, in which Daniel Craig’s James Bond faces the terrorist organization that proved to be his most prominent foe, the assassin character Mr Hinx (played by ex-wrestler and Marvel Cinematic Universe superstar Dave Bautista) is dispatched to do away with James Bond, and a chase sequence ensues through the cobbled streets of Rome. The Jaguar C-X75 will be offered at the Abu Dhabi auction on 30 November 2019. Only four of these stunt cars were built, (plus two 'standard' C-X75 models), and this particular car was the first of the four stunt cars built by Williams Advanced Engineering, making this a very rare Bond car indeed. RM Sotheby's will auction a Jaguar C-X75 stunt car from SPECTRE.
