With the discontinuation of the Land Rover Defender, people’s discussions about it have never stopped. All kinds of sentimental modifications and retro modifications are overwhelming, and the spy photos of the new Defender’s road test can arouse heated discussions among fans every time. I believe this It has been able to show that consumers like this pure hardcore off-road vehicle, but the reality is that auto manufacturers also have to survive, and profit will always be their primary consideration when launching models.
In view of consumers’ enthusiasm for “consumption” of hardcore SUVs, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the birth of the Land Rover brand, Land Rover resumed production of a batch of classic Land Rover Defenders, which provide V8 power and are named Land Rover Defender Works V8. With 150 units, the acceleration time from 100 kilometers can reach 5.6 seconds. It can be said that before the launch of the new Land Rover Defender, no matter what the reason for the launch of the classic Defender, I believe there will always be a lot of consumers paying for it. After all, feelings are priceless. Speaking of this, I will inevitably think of a few slightly “crazy” and unique Land Rover Defender modifications. Next, I will take stock of five products and discuss them together.
1 Land Rover Defender Rally Car
It is a hard-core off-road SUV in itself, so can it also become a leader in rally competitions if it is born for off-road? Don’t laugh, everyone, there are really products with such a positioning, but the power system is replaced by a Jaguar F-Type V6 engine with a maximum output of 440 horsepower. The power is a little bit lost, but its chassis settings and the whole vehicle Can the stability really withstand a competitive rally?
2 QT Wildcat
This modified version of the Land Rover Defender has been around for some years. The original intention of building it was to participate in the Dakar Rally. Therefore, it was modified according to the Dakar specifications. From this we can see that people’s obsession with the Land Rover Defender to participate in the Rally is really heavy. , I really want it to make some achievements. But the fact is really not the case.
3 Kahn FlyingHuntsman 6×6
In addition to the well-known Mercedes-Benz AMG 6X6, everyone should have a little impression of this Land Rover Defender 6X6. In fact, this is the show car that Kahn Design once unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. The three-axis structure makes the appearance extraordinarily domineering, and the power system is replaced by the LS3 6.2-liter V8 engine provided by GM. The maximum output of this engine is 430 horsepower, which has been upgraded to 500 horsepower after being tuned and upgraded by Kahn Design. The chassis has been updated, too, with the addition of a rear axle that can also transfer power, a six-speed automatic transmission with two-stage transfer case and differential lock, which also makes it a veritable Defender 6×6.
4 Kahn 6X6 convertible
In addition to the relatively pure off-road version above, this will be a high-spec 6X6 similar to the Maybach G650 Laudanlet. The Defender designed by Kahn also adopts the design of the front half of the hard top and the rear half of the soft top. The former is used to ensure that the car’s body is strong enough to cope with various complex weather environments, while the latter allows passengers in the car to better enjoy the fresh air and scenery outside. I have to say that Kahn is really a diehard fan of Land Rover Defender.
5 Land Rover Defender Amphibious Edition
People’s imagination is really amazing. Coupled with their favorite models, it is not surprising that this amphibious version of Land Rover Defender appears. Compared with the previous 4 modified versions, this model is no longer satisfied with daily land driving. Turn to the ocean. Judging from the pictures, the old man is still very happy to play.
