At the top of the Land Rover Defender’s power ladder is the 404 horsepower plug-in hybrid P400e, a four-cylinder that just skips the 400-horsepower six-cylinder P400. Both versions are now relegated to wallflower. Land Rover introduces the Defender V8, a version with a mighty 5.0 liter eight-cylinder supercharged engine that generates no less than 525 hp and 625 Nm. It is the most powerful Defender ever made.

The Defender V8 always has an eight-speed automatic. With its fierce drivetrain, the short Defender 90 V8 sprints to a speed of 100 km / h in just 5.2 seconds. Its top speed: 240 km / h. An average consumption of 14.5 / l 100 km is the price you pay for it. Land Rover is also adjusting the suspension of the Defender V8. The brand mounts a new electronically controlled differential at the back and the stabilizer bars of the new top Defenders are thicker than those of the regular ones.
