Look Out, Bond! Felipe Massa Manhandles the Jaguar C-X75

Despite the fact that the British King of Driving, Lewis Hamilton, has already wrapped up his third Formula 1 World Championship, there are still three races left in the season. The first stop on the last leg is Mexico City, then hitting up Brazil, and ending in Abu Dhabi. But after crossing the border following the U.S. Grand Prix at the Circuit of Americas in Austin, Texas, driver Felipe Massa had a first date at the Mexican track with one of the most beautiful supercars that one can currently drive on this planet’s blacktop: the Jaguar C-X75.

This special test drive for the Williams Martini Racing driver also coincides with the continental debut of the new James Bond film Spectre, which comes out November 6. So Massa tried out his best villain impressions.

“It was a thrill to take the wheel of a real stunt car used in a Bond movie,” he said. “Jaguar partnered with Williams Advanced Engineering on the production of these stunning supercars, so it was great to experience some of what my colleagues have developed outside of F1. It was so much fun, and very exciting to be driving the Jaguar on an actual Spectre location here in Mexico City.”

Of course it was fun; Massa was doing burnouts, drifts, and flooring it the whole time, as you can see in the video and gallery below. And as you’ll see in the film on Friday, you’ll get to know the real villain behind the wheel, Hinx, played by actor Dave Bautista.
