Spectre, the latest 007 movie starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, lands in India today and, as always, features a bevy of exotic machinery to feast your eyes on. Here’s what you need to know before you head to the theatres.

Aston Martin DB1

Aston Martin has been the vehicle of choice for 007 since 2002’s Die Another Day, and it is set to continue with Spectre. This time round, Daniel Craig will be seen driving the movie exclusive Aston Martin DB10, while the villainous henchman ‘Mr Hinx’ uses the awesome Jaguar C-X75. Also the movie will have a customized Land Rover Defender Bigfoot and an accessorised Range Rover Sport SVR. Meanwhile, the lead villain, Oberhauser’s Rolls-Royce Wraith is also bound to grab the attention of viewers.
Aston Martin DB1

The Aston Martin DB10 is particularly noteworthy in that it is the first Aston Martin sports car built exclusively for a James Bond movie. The debut of DB10 in the latest film continues a more than 50-year partnership between Bond and Aston Martin dating back to the iconic Aston Martin DB5 in the 1964 film Goldfinger. Aston Martin had released few of the technical details of the car, but they have revealed that it will feature the company's 6-speed manual transmission unit that is used on their 4.7 litre V8-engined cars. The DB10’s chassis is based on a modified version of the VH Platform that underpins the Aston Martin’s V8 Vantage. However the DB10 has a longer wheelbase and is nearly as wide as the One-77.

Jaguar C-X75

The C-X75 is a concept vehicle by Jaguar which will be driven by ‘Mr. Hinx’, the villainous character in the Bond movie Spectre. The concept C-X75 (unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show) was powered by two diesel-driven micro-turbines to charge its batteries, which in turn powered four electric motors, one nestled in each wheel hub. For the movie, Jaguar has opted for a supercharged 5.0 litre V-8 engine currently powering the F-Type R and XJR. To add more oomph to the C-X75, the concept car has been combined with two electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack to create a four-wheel drive hybrid supercar with around 900 PS on tap for sideways shenanigans.
