Jaguar Land Rover
A Land Rover Defender Works V8 70th Edition.
- Land Rover Classic is bringing back the venerable Defender off-road for a limited run of 150 cars.
- The Land Rover Defender Works V8 70th Edition is in celebration of the brand's 70th birthday.
- The Defender is powered by a 400 horsepower, 5.0 liter V8.
- The smaller Defender 90 starts at £150,000 ($212,000).
On January 29, 2016, the last Defender off-roader rolled out of Land Rover's factory in Solihull, England, ending 67 years of continuous production.
And as far as we were concerned, that was the end of the line for the iconic Land Rover.
Until now.
This month, Land Rover Classic, the brand's heritage department announced it will resurrect the Defender for a very limited engagement to celebrate Land Rover's 70th birthday.
Hence the name; Land Rover Defender Works V8 70th Edition.
And you better act fast. Just 150 lucky Land Rover enthusiasts will be able to get their hands on one.
The Defender Works V8 is available for sale in the United Kingdom as well as the Middle East and North Africa. It is also available for import into Europe on an individual basis.
Unfortunately, the Defender won't be sold here in the US.
