There will also be several other brands on show during the film.
Craig as Bond will get to drive a Range Rover Sport SVR, Jaguar C-X75, Land Rover Defender Big Foot, as well as his signature ride the Aston Martin DB10 .
He will also be seen sipping Belvedere vodka martinis and Bollinger champagne.
Meanwhile, his firearms will be upgraded to a AF2011 Dueller Prismatic designed by Arsenal Firearms.
Arsenal Firearms revealed: "It is with great pleasure that we can finally and officially announce that our brand new product was selected some months ago to be one of the key weapons feature in the new James Bond movie Spectre."

Harrison Ford is set to star in a fifth 'Indiana Jones' film.
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed series is being brought back to the big screen and the 72-year-old actor would be expected to reprise his role as the daredevil archaeologist now he has wrapped shooting 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' - in which he returns as Han Solo.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, she said: "A new 'Indiana Jones' movie will one day be made inside this company. We haven't started working on a script yet, but we are talking about it."
The announcement comes three years after Disney paid £3 billion for Lucasfilm - originally created by George Lucas - and with that the rights to the 'Star Wars' and 'Indiana Jones' franchises.
The 'Indiana Jones' franchise, created by Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg, began in 1981 with 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and was followed by three more movies about the whip-wielding archaeologist. The films earned a combined £1.32 billion at the box office worldwide.
While Harrison is set to appear in the new film, it's unlikely it will be as the lead character, as in January Chris Pratt was being eyed to be the main star.
In fourth film, 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull', Shia LaBeouf played Indy's son Henry 'Mutt Williams' Jones III and the plan at the time was for that character to become the lead star of the franchise.

Tim Burton was rushed to hospital after being injured during the shooting of his latest film.
The 56-year-old director - who is currently filming 'Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiars' in Blackpool, in the North West of England - hurt himself on Monday night (04.05.15) while taking a break from shooting and was quickly rushed to A&E.
Tim was taken straight to the Victoria Hospital, where his assistant is said to have requested a private area be sectioned off for the star, reports The Sun newspaper.
Luckily, the Golden Globe-winner was informed that he hadn't broken any bones and the film's busy shooting schedule will continue with a special stunt scene set to go ahead around the town's iconic Blackpool Tower this week.
His publicist said: "Tim attended hospital with a minor injury, no breakages."
The fantasy picture, which is due to hit cinemas in 2016, stars Samuel L. Jackson and Dame Judi Dench, and is based on the best-selling children's novel of the same name by Ransom Riggs.
The cast and crew are said to have arrived in Blackpool last week to start filming.

Mark Ruffalo could be starring as The Hulk in the next 'Spider-Man' movies.
The 47-year-old actor has hinted the angry green superhero could show up in a 2017 reboot of the franchise, despite 'The Amazing Spider-Man 3' being axed, as he is contracted to appear in four more Marvel films.
He said: "I think I have four pictures left now. That could always go further, and that could mean I could show up in another character's movie, it could mean 'Avengers 3 and 4', I could do a Hulk standalone movie. It could mean any combination of those things.
"I don't know that I'm in the new 'Spider-Man' films yet, but sometimes things happen at the last minute. I really don't know where I fit in from here on out, and I don't know that (the producers) do."
The 'Foxcatcher' star also revealed that Marvel doesn't own the rights to The Hulk standalone films, as it's still property of Universal, but he's very hopeful that his character's not gone off "into the sunset", following the 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' ending.
Speaking to Collider.com, Mark said: "As far as standalone Hulk movies, Marvel doesn't really have the rights to that yet. That's still Universal's property, so there's that issue. That's the big problem with that, but I don't think that's insurmountable, but I don't know where it's going for me. I hope I'm still around, and that when I go into the Quinjet, I'm not going off into the sunset."

Director Josh Trank will no longer helm 'Star Wars: Episode VIII'.
The 'Chronicle' filmmaker has dropped out of the second film in the sci-fi saga's new trilogy - the follow up to this year's 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' - to follow a "different path".
In a statement posted on official website StarWars.com, the 30-year-old director said: "After a year of having the incredible honour of developing with the wonderful and talented people at Lucasfilm, I'm making a personal decision to move forward on a different path.
"I've put a tremendous amount of thought into this, and I know deep down in my heart that I want to pursue some original creative opportunities. That said, the 'Star Wars' universe has always been one of my biggest influences, and I couldn't be more excited to witness its future alongside my millions of fellow 'Star Wars' fans. I want to thank my friends Kathleen Kennedy, Kiri Hart, Simon Kinberg, and everyone at Lucasfilm and Disney for the amazing opportunity to have been a part of this. May the Force be with you all."
Lucasfilm VP of Development Kiri Hart added: "It was a privilege to collaborate with Josh. We are grateful for the energy and love of 'Star Wars' that he brought to the process, and we wish him all the best."
While Trank has stated he has left the movie to pursue other projects, The Hollywood Reporter has claimed he was actually fired by Lucasfilm executives who were nervous about entrusting the franchise to him following reports of "unusual conduct" on the set of the upcoming 'Fantastic Four' film.
'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' - directed by J. J. Abrams and starring Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, John Boyega and Andy Serkis - is scheduled to be released on December 18, 2015.

Tom Hardy was "really bummed out" to have to drop out of 'Suicide Squad'.
The 37-year-old actor was set to play Rick Flagg in the upcoming DC Comics film alongside a superstar cast comprised of Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Cara Delevingne and Jared Leto, among others.
Hardy was unable to accept the role - which eventually went to Joel Kinnaman - because shooting on his movie 'The Revenant', directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, overran by three months meaning the two projects clashed.
In an interview with Collider.com, he said: "Warner Bros. is my home studio and I love them so I was really bummed out. I wanted to work on ('Suicide Squad') and I know the script is really f***ing alley ... But there's a very practical element as to why I've missed out on that foray, which is because Alejando has overshot by three months in Calgary, so we've got to go back out to Patagonia or Alaska to continue shooting 'The Revenant' which has turned into a much bigger beast than we thought, but that also looks exceptional."
Although Hardy is disappointed he had to pull out of 'Suicide Squad' he can't wait to see the finished film and has promised fans Leto's interpretation of The Joker and Robbie's performance as Harley Quinn are something to get excited about.
He added: "I know what's gonna happen with The Joker and Harley Quinn in that; I won't give away too much ... it's f***ing alley. I mean, everybody loves The Joker. Will Smith is a dope guy, but everybody loves The Joker and that's going to be, I think, a very important film for fans."
'Suicide Squad' is scheduled to be released on August 5, 2016.
