Business Insurance reported that auto damage on the film's Range Rovers, Aston Martins, and several Jaguar C-X75s cost some $34.5 million. At the same time, Bloomberg noted the production blew up a slightly higher $48 million worth of cars. It was a costly, but necessary move, according to Spectre production designer Dennis Gassner.
"Our influence on this movie was Skyfall — we had to top that," Gassner told Bloomberg. "It's also about honoring a franchise. Every day I would think, 'What would the audience want to get out of this?'"
The cars for the Alps chase were designed to embody a sinister look that mirrored their drivers and Bond antagonists, with three of the eleven Defenders outfitted especially for close-up shots in the Sam Mendes-directed film. Unlike their counterparts, these SUVs featured a special hydraulic system that ensured they flipped the exact moment they collided with Bond's vintage airplane. One was even put up for auction at RM Sotheby's during the company's inaugural auction in Essen, Germany. Before the sale, Gord Duff, the global head of auctions at the company, spoke about the signature nature of the car that would eventually sell for $130,000.
"This was not a case of simply putting on a few cosmetic enhancements for the purposes of filming," Duff said. "[The Defenders] are highly developed and engineered vehicles, bespoke builds by Land Rover's special vehicles division."
While at least one Defender landed in the hands of a private owner, several different Land Rover models never made it to Austria for filming. That's because five of the firm's Land Rover Sports, which were modified and priced at at least $111,000 each, were stolen from Rover headquarters in Neuss, Germany (via The Hollywood Reporter). Somehow, the $1 million value of those cars still didn't eclipse the expense of the film's full carbon fiber Bugatti, which cost an eye-popping $2.5 million.
