Tribute to Land Rover's adventure challenges
Though the new Defender isn't officially called a Camel Trophy car, it captures the look and spirit of vehicles that participated in the annual rally. Land Rover has said that this special-edition model is a tribute to its "rich history of adventure challenges." The yellow shade is "synonymous with Defenders used on international Trophy-style events," according to the company.

The special-edition Defender will be showcased to the public for the first time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed from July 10-13.
