Earlier this month, we saw a five-door, eight-seat Land Rover Defender with a V8 engine testing on the Nurburgring. Today we have another eight-cylinder prototype, though this vehicle is very different from the one we spied on April 5. What you are about to see in the gallery attached below is our first look at the upcoming hardcore version of the Defender V8.
Our spy photographers caught the test car on the German track lapping it at full throttle. You probably find this prototype familiar – it is considering it’s based on the Defender 110 – though there are several design elements that hint at a more potent version of the Defender. We don’t know its official name yet but we know it will feature some performance upgrades.
