Why does this story matter?
Land Rover is a heritage British automaker that made its debut in 1948. It is an SUV specialist and is currently a part of Tata Motors. The Classic division of the brand had earlier unveiled the Defender Works V8 Trophy for an exclusive competition at Eastnor Castle. The new special-edition four-wheeler commemorates the brand's off-roading and exploration heritage.
The SUV has round headlights and a ladder
The Land Rover Classic Defender Works V8 Trophy II flaunts a Fuji White camouflage paint job, a clamshell bonnet finished in Narvik Black color, a large grille, circular headlamps, and a full-width LED light bar. It is flanked by squared windows, ORVMs, flared wheel arches, and alloy wheels. A tailgate-mounted spare wheel, a ladder, and round taillamps grace the rear end.
It is backed by a 399hp, V8 engine
The limited-run Defender Works V8 Trophy II draws power from a 5.0-liter, V8 petrol engine that is mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox. The mill develops 399hp of maximum power and 513.8Nm of peak torque.
