The new Range Rover Sport that was unveiled at the 2013 New York International Auto Show had got a special introduction on the eve of the opening day. New York was given a special preview as it was driven through the city before arriving at the venue.

In the driver's seat was no ordinary driver, but Daniel Craig aka James Bond himself, who was commissioned to drive the all British SUV and deliver it for the presentation ceremony held at Jacob Javits Convention Center.

"We won't comment on our relationship with Mr. Craig beyond confirming that Land Rover supports the charity S.A.F.E., of which the actor is a patron, and will continue its charitable efforts with a vehicle donation later this year," a Land Rover spokesperson told NYP. S.A.F.E is a Kenya and U.K based non profit organization that works towards social and medical causes in Kenya.
