The pandemic has made us wait for movies more eagerly than ever!

First there was the wait for ‘Black Widow’ and now, we are close to the release of a highly anticipated movie – No time to Die – the 25th movie in the James Bond series.

Given the hype and anticipation, Jaguar Land Rover have put their best foot forward to ride the wave. First there was the mean Land Rover Defender Bond Edition – a limited run of a special edition Land Rover Defender.

Now, Jaguar has put upped the ante with a real life drama inspired by the reel life of the British secret agent. Given James Bond’s British MI6 roots and Jaguar’s British ancestry, the scene was set – befittingly – in London.

Jaguar Racing’s Mitch Evans embarks on a race across London to be amongst the first to see the early anticipated James Bond film, No Time To Die, released in the UK on September 30 2021

The action is set against some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks including the Shard, Tower Bridge, City Hall and Millennium Bridge. Mitch, who is at the wheel of the Santorini Black XF, is unaware he is being pursued by free runner and Parkour athlete Lynn Jung. The reason for their chase? He has unwittingly dropped his tickets to the screening and Lynn is determined to ensure his wait to see No Time To Die is over. 

The six-mile chase starts in Laffone Street, close to Tower Bridge, and weaves its way across the city with Lynn running, jumping and somersaulting in pursuit of Mitch, who is enjoying the XF’s luxury, comfort and serenity thanks to its Active Noise Cancellation and Cabin Air Ionisation technology.

Distanced from the noise and chaos of the city around him, Mitch focuses on the drive, making the most of the XF’s precise, intuitive steering – and the responsive, refined performance of its Ingenium engine. The action concludes in London’s famous Baker Street, where the tickets are returned in spectacular style, allowing Mitch to finally enjoy No Time to Die.

Throughout the race across town, 007 fans will spot a few familiar faces along the route, including a bullet-holed XF from No Time to Die as well as notable Jaguar models that appeared in past films, including the C-X75 from Spectre (2015) and the XKR Convertible from Die Another Day (2002).

Such a car chase in the solid built Jaguar XF will leave Mitch Evans neither shaken nor stirred.
