Land Rover Defender P525 V8
International Launch
Herefordshire, UK
After four decades of slotting powerful Range Rover engines into the snout of its iconic off-roader, it would have been a crying shame if Land Rover turned its back on the Rangie Sport SVR’s bruising but endangered supercharged V8 for its latest Defender. After all, what could be more irresistible than the combination of sports car levels of acceleration, unbeatable off-road capability and a soundtrack to die for? Sadly, in 2021, it s an intoxicating blend that makes less and less sense but, in the dying days of the combustion engine, Land Rover has gone ahead and created its very own Mercedes-AMG G 63 rival anyway. The result is a fun but flawed performance SUV that can be enjoyed both on road and far away from civilisation. Shame about the price.
