The Stig vs Jaguar's gorgeous £3m C-X75 James Bond car: watch the full lap now

The venue for this Stig vs Bond villain showdown? The Top Gear Test Track. Take it away, white-suited one

This is a Jaguar C-X75. Not the original jet-engined 2010 concept car, but the tough-as-nails stunt double built for James Bond movie Spectre. Which means - and sorrynotsorry - it only lives twice.

And while the concept car got cancelled, Dr Yes over here lives on with a tubular space frame chassis, rally suspension, and JLR's raucous, 600bhp 5.0-litre supercharged V8 powerhouse. Enough to scare the living daylights out of 007.

It's been salvaged and prettified by Ian Callum's new venture, called... Callum. Which means the whole thing's road-legal. Which means it's eligible for a spot on our all-time power laps leaderboard. Which means... it's time to unfurl The Stig and set him loose in one of the prettiest Bond cars you'll ever see.

Loudest, too. No quantum of solace here, then, because it's over to the man with the... white suit.
