Who would have ever thought it possible – a Land Rover Defender boasting 386kW and 625Nm?

And, it is available in both 110 and 90 body derivatives.

It is fitted with an eight-speed eight-speed automatic transmission and permanent drive to all four wheels.

For those speed freaks – it goes from 0-100km/h in just 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 240km/h.

To accommodate all that power it has been kitted with a suspension and transmission tuning includes bespoke spring and damper rates and a new electronic active rear differential, to deliver more agile and engaging handling with improved body control.

Larger-diameter and solid anti-roll bars help reduce body roll while cornering, and a unique electronic active rear differential introduces a yaw controller that allows fine control of cornering attitude as the Defender reaches and exceeds the limit of grip.

“A new Dynamic programme in Terrain Response 2 affords a more playful and responsive character,” says Land Rover.
Defender V8 Carpathian Edition is the ultimate expression of performance, durability and design, and represents the very pinnacle of the Defender range.
