The Jaguar XJ8 is a Full-size luxury car built by British manufacturer Jaguar. It is a member of the Jaguar XJ family, belonging to the X350 generation, which was built between 2003 and 2009. Although the XJ family exists since 1968, the designation 'XJ8' for eight cylinder models was first introduced with the X350's predecessor, the X308, which debuted in late 1997. For the 2010 model year, the new X351 was introduced.
History
The Jaguar XJ8 used by Mr. White in the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale is a brand new 2006 only model, as it has the updated side profile of the 2006 model year, although it is not a 2007 facelift model.
Mr. White uses this Jaguar when arriving at his lakeside estate in Italy. His badly faked Italian licence plate reads "7843 BB".
There are actually a lot of these cars seen in this movie, but it is not confirmed if these are XJ8 models, too. A grey one is damaged on the parking lot, while another black one hits Bond after he gets poisoned. Several others are parked in the background nearly everywhere in the Bahamas and Montenegro scenes, as Jaguar provided many vehicles for the film.
Le Chiffre's Jaguar XJR from the same generation and Ms slightly older X350 Jaguar XJ in Spectre will be presented on different pages.
