The British Land Rover Defender first rolled off the company's assembly line back in 1948 and was produced until early 2016. However, starting in 2020, the automaker decided to resume sales of the car with the legendary name. In 2021, an SUV with a more powerful V8 engine was introduced.
The revived car turned out to be very popular and for 1, 5 years of presence on the market showed the result in 15, 8 thousand of sold models. Now, according to experts, the SUV will become even more in demand, since the developer must bring a version with the most powerful engine. According to experts, the new Land Rover Defender with an uprated V8 engine will receive the SVR prefix to its name, by analogy with the Sport model.
It is expected that the 4.4-liter engine that comes with the M5 Competition model will be installed under the hood of the car. This engine from BMW produces 625 horsepower, and its torque is 750 N * m. As a transmission, the manufacturer offers an automatic transmission ZF, which is known for the shortened Defender 90.
By the way, experts do not exclude that an SUV with an SVR attachment will have not only technical, but also visual differences from the standard Defender. Apparently, the model with a forced engine will get a more aggressive appearance. It is possible that the chassis of the car will also become sporty, which will improve the dynamics of the new Defender. The model is expected to hit the market next year, making its US debut. The price for this version of Land Rover will start at 9, 23 million rubles in terms of the current exchange rate.
