film information
This speedy craft is provided by Q to allow Bond to cruise down Brazilian rivers looking for a rare orchid. Bonds search is interrupted however when he is fired upon by a series of speedboats, led by Jaws.
Bond places the craft in top gear, as he speeds down a river using the boats gadgetry. 007 deploys a series of mines and a heat-seeking torpedo, blowing up the opposition. However, Bond notices that he is fast running out of time before he reaches a very large waterfall. He presses a button to release a section of the roof to deploy a hand-glider, thus allowing him to fly to safety sending jaws plummeting over the falls. §
