Land Rover to Release 300 Bond-Edition Defenders to Honor Daniel Craig’s Final Film
Land Rover’s new James Bond Defender is subtle but loaded with a ton of premium driving features
There’s no stopping Bond now. A year and a half after No Time to Die, Daniel Craig’s final outing as 007, was supposed to premiere, the final trailer is out and the film is set for a theatrical release on October 8. For Craig, it marks the beginning of a delayed retirement from a character he’s played for 15 years. For the rest of us, it’s a bittersweet moment when we’ll finally lay our eyes on one of the most highly anticipated action movies in years while saying goodbye to arguably the best actor to play the secret agent.
Which leads us to the question, how are you going to mark the occasion? Will it be the first time you feel compelled to go back to the theater? Will you go back and watch every Craig Bond, from Casino Royale to Spectre, in order to get a refresher? After all, it’s been six years since the last installment.
For those who take their James Bond fandom seriously and have cash to burn, we suggest another route: picking up the new Defender V8 Bond Edition, which has been created by Land Rover’s SV Bespoke team. Inspired by No Time to Die, the SUV is based on the fastest, most powerful version of the Defender yet, limited to 300 examples, and starts at $114,600.
If that sounds like a big chunk of change for what is essentially a promotional tool, know that the standard version of this same Defender — with the V8 engine (new for the 2022 model year), 110 body style (the four-door, not two-door), Xenon Blue front brake calipers and black-on-black color scheme — goes for just a few thousand less. And besides, there have been and will always be hokey cross-promotional movie cars (the Transformers Camaro comes to mind), but the Bond tie-ins actually manage to serve the marketing purposes while being legitimate collector cars.

Take for example the DB5 Goldfinger continuation cars Aston Martin sold a couple years ago with actual working gadgets. Those beauts cost $3.5 million each and sold out in the blink of an eye — and they weren’t even road legal. Meanwhile these Defenders are not only ready and willing to take on your regularly scheduled driving habits, but as we’ve seen in the clips from No Time to Die so far, they can handle more action than you’re ever likely to put them through.
Besides taking design cues from the Defenders that appear in the new movie, the Bond Edition vehicles feature “Defender 007” badging on the rear, a unique touchscreen animation, etching specifying the limited-edition nature of the models, illuminated interior treadplates and even puddle lamps that display the 007 logo on the ground when it’s dark.
No, there are no ejector seats or oil slicks to be found here. But that tracks with Craig’s tenure as James Bond, doesn’t it? Less flash, all class.

No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to drive the Land Rover Defender V8 Bond Edition
With a black-on-black theme and 007 iconography, the Defender V8 Bond Edition celebrates Land Rover’s role in the upcoming film No Time to Die.
Antuan Goodwin gained his automotive knowledge the old fashioned way, by turning wrenches in a driveway and picking up speeding tickets. From drivetrain tech and electrification to car audio installs and cabin tech, if it’s on wheels, Antuan is knowledgeable.
The bad guys are on James Bond’s tail again — finally. After multiple delays, No Time to Die , the 25th entry in the James Bond film series , is finally roaring into action. To celebrate the role of its Defender 110 SUV in the » epic, explosive and emotional » film, Land Rover’s SV Bespoke team has announced the blacked-out Land Rover Defender V8 Bond Edition.
The Bond Edition is inspired by the Defender 110 example that chases Daniel Craig in the film, slated to arrive in US cinemas on Oct. 8. Like the often-black-tuxedo-clad 007, the Bond Edition matches deep black paint with the Extended Black Pack exterior trim and 22-inch Luna Gloss Black wheels. Bright Xenon Blue front brake calipers provide a pop of color inspired by the eyes of Mr. «Bond, James Bond,» traditionally blue.
Land Rover Defender V8 Bond Edition celebrates the release of No Time to Die
Each example features a laser-etched plate in the cabin that reads «SV Bespoke, One of 300» indicating just how limited this edition is. «Defender 007» badges can be found on the rear door, gracing the illuminated door sills and in the unique boot-up animation for Land Rover’s Pivi Pro infotainment system. At night, the 007 stylized pistol logo can even be found in the puddle lights illuminating the ground.
Beneath the special-edition styling, the 110’s 518-horsepower, supercharged 5.0-liter and sophisticated suspension and off-road tech persist unchanged from the standard 2022 Defender V8 .
Only 300 examples will be built by Land Rover SV Bespoke, all aimed at the intersection of Land Rover loyalists and die-hard 007 fans. They’ll, of course, need to also be well-heeled 007 fans. The Land Rover Defender V8 Bond Edition is priced and available to order starting at $115,950 (including the $1,350 destination charge).
