The Jaguar XFs feature an all-wheel drive system with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics which delivered incredible levels of traction on the low-grip surfaces in the Matera car chase in 'No Time To Die' where the henchmen demonstrate that no street is too small and no corner too tight. The saloon's lightweight aluminum-intensive architecture and advanced suspension design enable exceptional handling and agility together with comfort and refinement.
"The tricky bit here is the varying conditions in the road surface, we're always changing tire pressures so that we can either gain traction, lose traction," said action vehicle coordinator Neil Layton for 'No Time to Die'. "If we're doing steps, we're adjusting ride height, damper rebound. Each car is set up specifically for each individual stunt, although the DNA of every car is the same."
Anna Gallagher, Jaguar Brand Director, said: ''The Jaguar XF is a car designed to tackle any journey with an unrivalled balance of luxury, comfort and refinement. "Whether it's a high-speed pursuit through twisting streets and piazzas of Southern Italy, where the car filmed it's 'No Time To Die' chase sequences, or the bustling streets of London - the XF really is a car for every occasion.''
Chris Corbould, action vehicle supervisor and special effects supervisor on 'No Time To Die', said: "The Jaguar XF was an exciting choice for this high-intensity car sequence. We always look to push the boundaries to extreme limits in our stunts, and this extends to the capabilities of the vehicles too. There is no compromise with this particular scene. There were only inches to spare in the narrow alleyways and no margin for error, the XF shows its performance and driving dynamics."
