Land Rover Defender Octa: most powerful Defender ever

Defender is now a ‘brand’ of Land Rover, which offers models such as the 90, 110 and 130. We know ‘Defender’ mainly as a Land Rover model. The Land Rover Defender is available in its most powerful form with a 525 hp and 625 Nm strong 5.0 V8 with supercharger. That variant should be recognized later this year in the Defender Octa. According to the British, this will be the most powerful Defender ever.

The Defender Octa will have an eight-cylinder, just like the currently strongest variant of off-roader, although it is a V8 with two turbos instead of a supercharger. In addition, the eight-cylinder – unlike the supercharged V8 – is supported by mild-hybrid hardware. Land Rover describes the Defender Octa as “the most robust, capable and luxurious” variant of the Defender family. A real flagship. It seems likely that the arrival of the Defender Octa will more or less coincide with the introduction of the facelifted Defender -family.

The English report, among other things, that the Defender will have hydraulics that should keep body movements almost completely flat during acceleration, braking and cornering. We already see fragments of heavy off-road rubber, the Brembo brakes and the diamond logo that will adorn the Defender Octa.
