BYD's Denza Z9 GT to star in the new James Bond movie

We all know the James Bond movie franchise, which is often defined by the cool tech he uses in the movies to fight villains. One of his trusty sidekicks is his car. Throughout the years, James Bond sat behind the wheel of a Bentley, Aston Martin, BMW and even Lotus.

With the upcoming James Bond movie, however, the franchise is trying something new - BYD's Denza Z9 GT. This will be the first time a China-made car will make it to James Bond's big-screen franchise.

That's quite fitting, as the Denza Z9 GT is about to make a debut in Europe, so an appearance in the new James Bond movie will surely make Europeans take BYD's cars more seriously. The vehicle was upgraded in September last year with more power and range, and this is the version Europe is getting.

It features three motors producing 960 hp output and helps the vehicle sprint from 0 to 62 mph in under 3 seconds. BYD claims the maximum range is 800 km thanks to the huge 122 kWh Blade Battery 2.0. The company's Flash Charging tech gets the battery from 10% to 70% in just 5 minutes, while a full charge takes only 9 minutes more.

As you can see, the Denza Z9 GT is an absolute beast and is perfect for the futuristic James Bond movie vibe, which also strives for some relatable realism. The Z9 GT's design is nothing short of impressive, too, and we can definitely see Agent 007 driving one of those in the next movie.

It's quite evident that BYD is making the push on all fronts to expand its global reach and also bite a bigger chunk of the European market.
