V8 is feeling its age
Won’t be cheap to run
Pretty much nobody needs a
Land Rover Defender V8, but lots of people are going to want it.
The previous range top dog, the
X-Dynamic P400, has a turbocharged, 48-volt boosted 3.0-litre straight-six that makes
294kW and gives the long-wheelbase 110 a 6.1-second 0-100km/h time. That’s plentiful performance for something so big and boxy.
But the V8 blows that out of the water. Power comes from a
386kW version of JLR’s long-serving
5.0-litre supercharged V8, this being the engine the company brought in-house when Ford stopped making it last year.
